If you're a staffer at 60 Minutes who worked on that CECOT segment that got yanked by Bari Weiss at the last minute, figure out a way to leak it. Not saying it's an easy decision or there won't be consequences, but ask yourself why you got into journalism in the first place.

Paramount wanted its merger approved. The Trump admin got Bari Weiss installed as editor in chief of CBS News in a quid pro quo. Now the administration gets to control what you see on CBS News and when you get to see it.

All of these links went to promotion of this story earlier today. All these links are dead now — that's how thoroughly they've scrubbed this.
