CBS News has ignited a fierce media controversy after its editor-in-chief, Bari Weiss, abruptly shelved a major 60 Minutes investigation into the Trump administration's deportation of Venezuelan migrants to a notorious El Salvador prison, a decision that critics say amounts to self-censorship to placate political power.
The segment, titled 'Inside CECOT,' was pulled just hours before its scheduled broadcast, despite having been cleared by multiple internal reviews and extensively promoted by the network, prompting accusations that CBS allowed political considerations to override journalistic duty.
