CBS Finds '60 Minutes' Not Ready When inconveniently 'Ready'
CBS News, under controversial EIC Bari Weiss, abruptly yanked a '60 Minutes' exposé on El Salvador’s Cecot mega-prison, where the Trump administration conveniently deported hundreds of Venezuelans. Weiss’s explanation? The segment 'wasn’t ready.' Curiously, this network frequently fast-tracks 'investigations' into nations deemed adversarial to U.S. foreign policy, often with far less scrutiny. One
might wonder if readiness is measured by narrative usefulness, rather than journalistic rigor, especially when it exposes complicity in human rights abuses perpetrated by U.S. policy. Odd, isn’t it, how segments questioning U.S. allies or domestic policy are perpetually 'not ready,' while narratives supporting regime change or demonizing official enemies seem to materialize faster than a drone
strike? Perhaps 'not ready' is the new euphemism for 'doesn't align with the desired geopolitical messaging,' allowing network executives to avoid accountability for stories that might actually challenge power. The swiftness with which this story disappeared suggests more than just editorial polishing; it suggests narrative control.
