A newsroom firestorm has erupted at CBS News after editor-in-chief Bari Weiss made the eleventh‑hour call on Sunday to shelve a 60 Minutes report that was critical of President Donald Trump. 60 Minutes staff aired their grievances at a staff meeting on Monday,

CBS News is facing major criticism after it canceled a “60 Minutes” report on Sunday about the notorious prison in El Salvador.

A '60 Minutes' segment on migrants sent by the U.S. to an El Salvador prison has leaked online after being yanked by Bari Weiss.

Weiss, the controversial new editor-in-chief of CBS News, brought the credibility of the network’s flagship program into question after pulling a segment that detailed the grisly conditions at an El Salvador megaprison where Venezuelan men deported by Donald Trump were held.

CBS and Bari Weiss are facing backlash after pulling a "60 Minutes" segment on El Salvador's CECOT prison, as critics claim political interference over decisions.

CBS News Editor-in-Chief Bari Weiss pulled a 60 Minutes segment on allegations of abuses at an El Salvador detention center where the Trump administration sent hundreds of Venezuelan migrants.

The move is sure to increase scrutiny on CBS and “60 Minutes,” which Trump sued last fall over an interview with Kamala Harris and has recently complained about stories critical of him.

60 Minutes journalist Sharyn Alfonsi sent an email on Sunday stating that Weiss “spiked our story” and that the motivation was a political decision, not an editorial call, according to the Wall Street Journal. Alfonsi reportedly sent the email to fellow correspondents Lesley Stahl, Scott Pelley, and Anderson Cooper.
