CBS’s New Editor Deems Prison Chains Too Uncomfortable for TV
KEY POINTS
- •Bari Weiss, the newly appointed CBS News editor-in-chief, censored a 14-minute 60 Minutes segment about deported men in El Salvadoran prisons.
- •The segment was already promoted online before being quietly removed, but Canada's Global TV still aired it.
- •Some viewers used VPNs and iCloud sharing to circumvent censorship and watch the segment despite CBS's late pull.
In a surprising twist that only CBS News could orchestrate, Bari Weiss, fresh on the scene as editor-in-chief, promptly censored a nearly 14-minute 60 Minutes segment featuring men deported to an El Salvador prison, chained and bent double — because apparently viewers prefer sanitized suffering. Ironically, the segment had already been hyped on CBS’s platforms before vanishing like a magician’s rabbit, leaving only a glitch in Canada’s Global TV’s matrix. Thanks to VPN acrobatics and a generous iCloud uploader, viewers outside the approved realm got front-row seats to the censored chains. This is peak media choreography—promote, then quietly retract. Bravo!
