Inside the back and forth at CBS over the "60 Minutes" segment that Bari Weiss decided to hold

awkward 😐

The Bills have clinched a playoff spot with the Colts loss on MNF. Seventh straight season with a postseason appearance.

Wigand himself has already commented on it

iCloud, Mega, and as a torrent. Archivists have uploaded the 60 Minutes episode Bari Weiss spiked.

Just watched a bootleg of the 60 Minutes CECOT segment, which is very well done. Will more people will watch it now than if CBS had just ran it as originally planned? archive.org/details/60mi...

Bari Weiss praised El Salvador's dictator before spiking '60 Minutes' story on his torture prison. new w/ @premthakker.bsky.social @swin24.bsky.social @zeteo.com zeteo.com/p/bari-weiss...

I uploaded the pulled 60 Minutes Segment on The CECOT Prison in El Salvador to another location for easy viewing. Should be able to watch here: youtu.be/CM-eld_cHF0?...

Almost immediately, Texas weaponizes its school voucher program on behalf of religious bigotry.

Phil's upload got nuked. This one is still up: www.youtube.com/watch?v=IIm6...

Someone else uploaded a copy.

watching the CECOT 60 Minutes segment that CBS suppressed, it’s striking that Weiss specifically called out as unnecessary some of the most rigorous investigative work in the segment, including an explanation of how it was done (by human rights researchers)

Can confirm: Pulled 60 Minutes “Inside CECOT” segment on the El Salvador mega prison housing hundreds of Venezuelan deportees sent by the U.S. is on Global TV’s free app

Well, I've seen the 60 Minutes CECOT segment now. It's good, and it outlines the horrific conditions this administration sent people with no criminal record to You'd only kill that segment if you were trying to protect the administration

BREAKING: Judge James Boasberg rules for those deported under the Alien Enemies Act on March 15 — certifying a class, finding the U.S. maintained constructive custody over them at CECOT, finding they were not given due process, and ordering return or that such process be given by Jan. 5, 2026.

Tried to find something about Jesse Owens' time at Ford at the Benson -- no luck. Asked the archivist if they had anything sports-related, and he said "we have some box with correspondence about Joe Louis, don't know if it's interesting." It was, um, interesting. www.thenation.com/article/soci...

This is infuriating. Thanks to Adam for a wonderfully comprehensive account of how the Roberts court is attacking the Civil War amendments to the constitution 1/

The body cam footage from Beker’s arrest has been released. “Hey, this is Officer Hingiss with the Whitefish Police Department. Just out with a male that only speaks Spanish, wondering if you want to check him?” flatheadbeacon.com/2025/12/19/c...

This creamy, homemade macaroni and cheese has fewer ingredients than the boxed version, and comes together in the same amount of time.

Rich Texans. Not surprised they’re republican

This is so tragic. Survivor's guilt is very real. Trust me, I know. It is a terrible thing to carry and can eat you alive without help. In this case, he had help and it still wasn't enough.

Trump: If we build more housing, the price of homes will go down, and homeowners will lose their wealth.

So NIMBYs are now on the same side as Trump. Will that cause any of them to reevaluate? No? None? OK.

www.nbcnews.com/politics/ele... George Conway, the former conservative lawyer turned ardent critic of President Donald Trump, has filed paperwork to run for Congress in New York City as a Democrat, a source close to Conway confirmed.

There are plenty of obvious reasons to do this: Nobody under the age of 30 actually uses the site! You're rewarding Elon Musk! But the most important thing is that some politicians and consultants are stewing in bot-driven, expensive Nazi propaganda, and it's giving them really bad, cruel ideas.

Bari Weiss screened the "INSIDE CECOT" story on Thursday night. The segment was finalized and publicized on Friday. Then Weiss circled back with concerns on Saturday morning... www.cnn.com/2025/12/22/m...

The school district initiated *criminal* investigation going nowhere because even local law enforcement thinks it’s bullshit, combined with selective use of ‘student privacy’ as a shield for the district to enact the most convenient punishments… or lack thereof.

Yet she published without first getting a response from Canada

I like this one.

this is mostly lost to history but is 100% true: your internet friend tom tomorrow played a significant role in the resignation of trent lott.

fun fact: lott resigned after a second tape emerged of him repeating his remark that america would have been better off if strom thurmond had been elected president. A reader of my old blog was the one who came up with that tape, which became public after I alerted a journo I knew.

Can we stoped using this image of this creature as if she’s trying to describe reality with her hands?

Reporter: We have 3 videos, 2 breathalyzers, 4 bartenders, and a minivan full of nuns attesting to how the driver was drunk and reckless when he hit the school bus. Weiss; What did the driver say. Reporter: He and his lawyer won’t talk. We asked them 5 times. Weiss: I’m killing your story.

This was my approach when trying to get oral interviews with segregationists for my first book. “I’m writing about you and I’d love to get your input, but I’m writing about you either way.”

I wrote on @boingboing.net about Sally’s Apizza, a tiny, legendary family pizza shop in Connecticut that was bought by an investment conglomerate that plans to make it “the Chipotle of pizza.” boingboing.net/2025/12/22/n...

Some say this is the best pie in the U.S.

I'm sorry, the new Avatar is HOW LONG??? You could watch Muppet Christmas Carol TWICE ...I'm gonna go watch Muppet Christmas Carol twice

It was this new Weiss-imposed hurdle that especially infuriated Alfonsi. “If the administration’s refusal to participate becomes a valid reason to spike a story, we have effectively handed them a ‘kill switch’ for any reporting they find inconvenient,” Alfonsi wrote in her email.

Bob Dylan writes about Willie Nelson in a new New Yorker profile (Bob also says before this, "It’s hard to talk about Willie without saying something stupid or irrelevant, he is so much of everything") www.newyorker.com/magazine/202...

I stumbled on this (maybe fake? maybe actually a money laundering operation?) TV show, starring a ton of 80s and 90s has-beens, while clicking around IMDb and it's one of the weirder things I've come across on the internet in a while. www.cracked.com/article_4100...

(Des Moines, Iowa, Register)

Dec. 22, 1925: Frank Munsey, a publisher who built an empire on pulp magazines, middlebrow journals and daily newspapers, dies at 71 in New York. The businessman, whose titles included Argosy and Munsey’s, pioneered the technique of acquiring papers to merge and consolidate them.

“It turns out that banishing the slur from public discourse was, in fact, important. Because now it’s back and it turns out that it does matter when subtext becomes actual text, when terrible people enable open hatred and bigotry, encouraging others to emulate them, degrading us all.”

The story could be that Ben Shapiro effectively called Vance out at this conference for failing to stand up to antisemitism. But Shapiro wasn't brave enough to say Vance's name and the press isn't allowing themselves to make any sense of this on their own.
