Retiring Guy's Digest: CBS News censorship: Media undertaker Bari Weiss strangles the last breath of life out of "60 Minutes"

Headline: Daily Beast, 12/21/2025

Cameron Adams reports:

White House Deputy Chief of Staff Stephen Miller was offered up as the MAGA-friendly solution to green-lighting a controversial 60 Minutes report that was pulled from the air at the last minute.
Bari Weiss, the Trump-curious new editor-in-chief at CBS News, intervened over a contentious story on the Terrorism Confinement Center, the notorious El Salvador megaprison that houses deportees kicked out of the U.S. by President Donald Trump.
Despite being promoted by 60 Minutes, which had interviewed migrants who described the “brutal and torturous conditions” they endured before being released, the segment was removed from Sunday night’s show just three hours before it was due to air.
