Ted Johnson, Deadline ; ’60 Minutes’ Pulls Planned Segment On Trump Administration’s Deportation Of Migrants To Harsh El Salvador Prison; Show Says Report Will Air In Future
[Kip Currier: Time will tell if tonight's 60 Minutes reporting on El Salvadoran CECOT prison was censored. The timing and wording of the announcement are suspicious, particularly given concerns about new CBS News Editor-in-Chief Bari Weiss. (See here and here and here.)]
[Excerpt]
"CBS News’ 60 Minutes pulled a planned segment on the Trump administration’s deportation of mugrants [sic] to a harsh El Salvador prison.
“The broadcast lineup for tonight’s edition of 60 Minutes has been updated. Our report ‘Inside CECOT’ will air in a future broadcast,” the network announced on Sunday evening, just hours before the planned broadcast.
A CBS News said of the segment, “We determined it needed additional reporting.”
CBS News announced the segment on the 60 Minutes schedule last week. Per the network, the segment’s logline was: “Earlier this year, the Trump administration deported hundreds of Venezuelan migrants to El Salvador, a country most had no ties to, claiming they were terrorists. This move sparked an ongoing legal battle, and nine months later the U.S. government still has not released the names of all those deported and placed in CECOT, one of El Salvador’s harshest prisons.”
