Overview
- Bari Weiss met this week with executive producer Tanya Simon, executive editor Draggan Mihailovich and CBS News president Tom Cibrowski to discuss bringing the pulled CECOT segment to broadcast, according to TheWrap.
- The piece remains withheld because Weiss requires an on-the-record response from the Trump administration, which sources say has declined to discuss the deportations publicly.
- CBS has maintained the CECOT segment is intended to air after further reporting, and a version briefly appeared on Canada’s Global TV streaming service by mistake before circulating online.
- A separate Anderson Cooper investigation into refugees from South Africa has received what sources call unusually extensive editorial feedback and remains stalled, Status reported.
- Weiss’s interventions have prompted internal unrest and accusations of corporate censorship, and she has not met with correspondent Sharyn Alfonsi or the wider 60 Minutes staff since pulling the piece, according to multiple reports.
