CBS's Jericka Duncan took a deep breath before reading copy on the Alfonsi kerfuffle for the Evening News, that closed with: "We determined it needed additional reporting." JERICKA DUNCAN: Well, now to a story about CBS News. A few hours before last night's edition of 60 Minutes, viewers learned... that a segment that had been promoted would not air. It's about a notorious prison in El Salvador. And the Trump administration's decision to send Venezuelans and others there who it says entered the U.S. illegally. The correspondent, 60 Minutes veteran Sharyn Alfonsi, sent an email to CBS News colleagues saying the story is factually correct, and accusing CBS News Editor-in-Chief Bari Weiss of pulling it for political reasons. Alfonsi says that despite requests for interviews, no one in the Trump administration would participate in the story. In an email, she wrote that, quote: "If the administration's refusal to participate becomes a valid reason to spike a story, we have effectively handed them a kill switch." In a statement, Weiss says in part, quote: "Holding stories that aren't ready for whatever reason, that they lacked sufficient context, say, or that they are missing critical voices, happens every day in every newsroom. I look forward to airing this important piece when it's ready." And CBS News released a statement saying the 60 Minutes report on “Inside CECOT” will air in a future broadcast. We determined it needed additional reporting.show more

CBS News abruptly pulled an investigative report on 60 Minutes just a day before it was set to air. It promised an inside look at allegations of abuse and torture suffered by men deported by the Trump administration and sent to a notorious prison in El Salvador. The new editor-in-chief of CBS News, Bari Weiss, said the segment would eventually run, but it needed comment from a Trump administration official. But 60 Minutes correspondent Sharyn Alfonsi condemned the decision, writing in an internal email that they did reach out to the administration and heard nothing back. William Brangham sat down with Brian Stelter of CNN for more.

Asmongold reacts to the news that Bari Weiss blocked a CBS story on the Trump admin sending undocumented immigrants to a prison in El Salvador to be tortured. Asmeinkampf says it's great that these immigrants are being tortured and critical news organizations should be banned.

CBS News Editor-in-Chief Bari Weiss held off on airing a 60 Minutes story about CECOT, saying more context was needed. As someone who spent years in mainstream media, including at CBS, I agree. Slowing down to get it right isn’t a problem, it’s necessary. The segment centered on interviews with prisoners claiming abuse, the same individuals the U.S. government has described as violent offenders, including alleged Tren de Aragua members. Getting more information before rushing a story to air is editorial judgment, not censorship.

WATCH: Wednesday’s ‘CBS Mornings’ opened with 78 seconds addressing the decision by editor-in-chief Bari Weiss and new ‘60 Minutes’ executive producer Nick Bilton to fire Scott Pelley for insubordination... Vladimir Duthiers: “All right, before we get to the news this morning, we want to share with you some news about ourselves and long-time 60 Minutes correspondent, Scott Pelley. On Monday, new executive producer Nick Bilton called an all-hands meeting to introduce himself to the staff. That meeting became contentious when Pelley publicly questioned the management decisions regarding the replacement of the former 60 Minutes executive producer, Tanya Simon, and publicly criticized the decisions of CBS News management on the future direction of 60 Minutes. According to CBS News management, efforts were made to see if both sides could reach common ground. Pelley met with senior management of CBS News last night, and no agreement could be reached. Pelley was then informed by 60 Minutes executive producer Nick Bilton that CBS News and 60 Minutes would have to part ways with Scott. He was terminated for cause. Scott Pelley released a statement which expressed his ‘gratitude for the men and women of CBS News who encouraged and enriched my work very often at the risk of their own lives.’ Pelley went on to say, ‘I pray for a day when those people and their ideals are honored again, a day when sanity, competence, and courage return.’ In a letter to the staff, Bilton stated, ‘What I will commit to this is this: my unyielding support for each of you and the journalism that you do and what we will do together going forward.’” Nate Burleson: “Yeah, we know his impact on journalism and this network is undeniable.”

Megyn says that CBS News is self-destructing under Bari Weiss: "Whenever the drama inside your company blows up to the point where it's a multiple-day story on every news outlet in the country, you've done something wrong. You haven't managed your talent and off air talent well at all."

WATCH: CNN’s Jake Tapper opens his show with over 14 minutes melting down over CBS News, Bari Weiss, and Nick Bilton firing Scott Pelley.... Tapper: “Now, let’s zoom out for a second to look at the core issues here and why this larger 60 Minutes overhaul may be happening because this story is relevant when it comes to two significant developments in American media right now. One is one that you are all out there very familiar with. It’s the atomization of where people get their information with cord-cutting, social media, and streaming TV, and podcasts, and so many channels, and influencers, and much more, resulting in legacy media losing audiences and seeking ways to reach you where you are, which is often on your phone wanting information when you want it.” “Second, this is also a story of media consolidation and those who are trying to build big mega-companies in the environment where we have a President who is more than willing to impose his likes and dislikes on the regulatory world. Now, people close to Bari Weiss insists that the CBS overhaul is about culture, not politics. They think that 60 Minutes is an archaic institution that is in urgent need of reinvention. Bari Weiss argues that the news media needs to be fairer and needs to regain the public’s trust, and her boss, David Ellison, says that CBS News needs to appeal to the 70 percent of the country that is in the political middle.” “On the other hand, what 60 Minutes defenders see as its strengths, the Bari Weiss individuals and executives see as potential shortcomings, and they’re determined to rebuild this news magazine for a digital world in a vertical video age. But Scott Pelley and others at CBS, and others who used to be at CBS do think there’s something more, something political behind this rebuild. They say that Paramount’s new owners, with David Ellison at the top, are seeking a closer relationship with Donald Trump and his administration and that Ellison appointed Weiss to appease Trump and overhaul 60 Minutes, which Trump doesn’t like, and all of CBS News, which Trump doesn’t like.” “And this argument goes that all of this is happening in order to get approval of the purchase of Paramount last year by David Ellison’s company and the pending purchase of Warner Bros Discovery any day now. And of course, we should note Warner Bros Discovery owns CNN. If you want to know one of the reasons why people keep suggesting that new ownership of these news organizations is behind wanting to curry favor with Trump, and that’s one of the things driving all this, it’s because of things that President Trump keeps saying, or Secretary Haggseff, just a few moments ago, President Trump said this to CNN’s Kaitlin Collins....” TRUMP: “But CNN in particular — CNN does such false reporting, but now they have new ownership, so maybe it’ll straighten it out. I doubt it, but it’s hard to straighten garbage out.” TAPPER: “A reminder that President Trump calls any reporting he doesn’t like felt — false, and any reporting he doesn’t like garbage. Again, CBS News and Paramount reject the assertion of any political influence or interference.”

The firing of "60 Minutes" correspondent Scott Pelley marks the latest and most dramatic chapter in the upheaval surrounding the storied newsmagazine and CBS News, as Editor-in-Chief Bari Weiss moves to reshape both the program and the news division more broadly. "This is journalistic interference," former "60 Minutes" correspondent Steve Kroft tells Geoff Bennett. "It makes no business sense whatsoever. It's the highest-rated news program on television, and it has been that way for more than 50 years."

CBS “60 Minutes” correspondent Scott Pelley and his former colleague Sharyn Alfonsi say Bari Weiss is destroying “60 Minutes”, the most prestigious program in American television news. For more than half a century, the CBS newsmagazine has defined investigative television, drawing tens of millions of Sunday-night viewers with its ticking stopwatch, its ambush interviews, and a roster of correspondents treated as the closest thing American journalism has to royalty. Alfonsi warned late last month that “the wall between editorial independence and corporate interest at CBS is being methodically torn down.” Pelley went further yesterday, confronting Weiss’s new executive producer, Nick Bilton, at a staff meeting. When Bilton told the room that Weiss “loves 60 Minutes,” Pelley shot back that “she’s murdering 60 Minutes,” that “she does not love this place,” and that “she was brought in to kill it and is doing exactly that.” Pelley told Bilton, a technology journalist, that he held “slender qualifications” for the job. Cecilia Vega, another ousted correspondent, framed Weiss’s firings as “censorship, both imposed and self-driven,” and “dangerous for democracy.” But a review of the last two decades of “60 Minutes” reveals that the program has been inaccurate and partisan on many major issues, including the border, transgenderism, climate, species extinctions, Russiagate, and the Hunter Biden laptop....

🚨 Another disaster under Bari Weiss's reign at CBS News: Just hours before airtime on December 21, 2025, ‘60 Minutes’ abruptly pulled its heavily promoted segment “Inside CECOT” – featuring interviews with Venezuelan migrants deported by the Trump administration to El Salvador's brutal mega-prison, where they described torture-like conditions. CBS posted an Editor's Note saying the lineup was updated and the report “needs additional reporting” – but sources call this move unprecedented for a finished, promoted piece. Critics are torching the decision as censorship, with many pointing directly to Weiss, appointed editor-in-chief in October 2025 amid Paramount's acquisition of her Free Press. Her short tenure has already sparked fears of softer coverage on the Trump admin. Why delete the teaser and bury a story exposing controversial deportations? The legacy of ‘60 Minutes’ takes another hit. Watch the now-deleted trailer below👇

"I grew up watching 60 Minutes. I was a weird little kid. I liked watching news,” says Anderson Cooper. He says he knew all the correspondents by name and felt like he knew them. Cooper first reported for the Sunday 60 Minutes broadcast in 2006. “Suddenly, to be in the halls of 60 Minutes, working on a story. I could not believe that I was on 60 Minutes,” he says. “It's been the honor of a life."

In February, CBS released the unedited footage in the face of a firestorm about the edits made to Harris’s responses. We’ve put together the unedited footage, and then what appeared in 60 Minutes and in a promo. Trump says this editing was a “giant FRAUD.” The Emmys has nominated it for an award. What do you think?

The arrogance of this guy... Lulu Garcia-Navarro: “But, Scott, in a meeting, you accused Bari Weiss, the head of the network of wanting to murder the show, of coming into 60 Minutes with the agenda to dismantle the institution. And you did not think that that was going to have repercussions that could lead to your firing?” Pelley: “We used to be able to have conversations like that at CBS News. The difference today is that the people running CBS News will not be questioned.”
