It sure seems like someone got to Bari Weiss between Thursday evening (left), and then late Friday night (right) www.nytimes.com/2025/12/22/b...

i can’t decide if bari weiss is an idiot or a covert whistleblower bc that 60 minutes video is ALL OVER MY FYP ON TIKTOK & X cbs can try and claim copyright or whatever but it is out and been saved on millions of devices

Bari Weiss is so wildly unqualified for her job she didn't know to check for international streaming rights before spiking the 60 Minutes CECOT piece. Blame Canada. www.hollywoodreporter.com/tv/tv-news/s...

The full spiked 60 Minutes CECOT package, clean & subtitled. 1/5

So apparently there are many Epstein files on the DOJ website where you can highlight the redacted text, copy it, and paste it onto another document to read the redactions

One of the revelations in the 60 Minutes CECOT story, as sourced by the UC Berkley students, is that Kristi Noem's torture porn video was filmed in a different part of the prison - not with the deported Venezuelans, but with domestic criminals from El Salvador.

Closes by discussing the Trump admin's current deals to do third-country deportations to other countries with well documented histories of torturing prisoners. Again, new

HRW student interns talking about how they confirmed. Including an influencer video with the warden talking about the torture. Now interviewing an expert explaining why all of these details mean that the detainees stories are believable and should be trusted. Again, VERY new

30 minutes. Some deportees described sexual assault. Detainee describes the guard sexually assaulting most detainees. Lights left on all day. Prisoners not given clean water. Now the DHS tour. Nobody spoke to the detainees. Noem's video was in a different area of the prison.

Leavitt saying "these are the worst of the worst" Deputy Director at HRW says the point was to send a message to other migrants, only 8 convicted of any sort of violent offense. ICE's own records said as much. 70 men had pending criminal charges of some sort. The rest had none.

Guards began beating him. Beat him until he bled. Knocked his face into the wall, broke all his teeth. No access to outdoors, no contact with relatives. Now describing US knowledge of CECOT's torture practices, followed by footage of Trump praising those practices.

Delivery to CECOT. A detainee describes the warden's welcome speech to them: You'll never see the light of day or night again. Welcome to hell. I'll make sure you'll never leave. Thought they were already the living dead.

This has been made available, so for purposes of commenting on Bari Weiss's decision to spike the story, here's a live-post of that segment. It begins with a "you may recall" summary of the deportation to el Salvador. Describes the admin's claim that it could deport the men without due process

Just within the past hour, nearly a dozen YouTube accounts have posted the pulled 60 Minutes CECOT story. CBS and Google can keep trying to take them all down, but it's sort of pointless now.

Just watched the 60 Minutes segment. Basically it debunks the fundamental claim used by Trump admin that the detainees it sent there are “terrorists” and corroborates torture using clips from El Salvadorean influencers Bukele uses internally. Would be a shock to low information voters, probably

I have now watched the 60 Minutes CECOT episode. It is indeed an indictment of human rights violations being committed in our name by the Trump Administration. What's also remarkable is that students at UC Berkley are using open source data to map the prison and document the abuses.

Here's the thing: if 60 Minutes had just aired the CECOT episode, it would simply be added to the pile of atrocities committed by the Trump Administration. Now it's escaped containment and become an issue unto itself. Like the Epstein files, it's not the crime, it's the coverup.

BREAKING: WATCH the full 60 Minutes CECOT segment here. This was sent to me anonymously. It appears to be the segment CBS' Bari Weiss killed. www.muellershewrote.com/p/watch-the-...

If there’s anything Republicans should never let themselves forget about Bill Clinton, it’s that he knows how to put a knife in with Cheshire-cat smile.

Bill Clinton releasing a statement saying 'release the Epstein files, you cowards' was not on my bingo list.

!! Here’s a link to full video of the 60 Minutes segment that Bari Weiss killed last minute, via @jasonparis.bsky.social: is.gd/paU8Ko (It was uploaded to the Global TV app in Canada, seemingly by accident, and has now been taken down)

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

As someone who is a proud graduate of the actual UT Austin - the Keep Austin Weird UT - I can absolutely name, shame, & loathe Bari Weiss for grifting off my alma mater with her fake 'University of Austin'. She's always been a con artist paid to make rich people comfortable with their predjudices.

Weird how The Free Press was able to publish all of these without comment from the Washigton University Transgender Center at St. Louis Children's Hospital.

A week after two mass shootings, Australia intends to tighten its gun laws - and the US does this. One survivor of Parkland also survived the Brown U shooting. Another survivor died by suicide Dec 15. Utter insanity.

Among the many issues with Weiss’s memo on the CECOT story, most of the additional info she’s demanding, about the administration’s legal rationales and the prisoners’ criminal histories, was actually covered in this piece that ran earlier this year on—wait for it—“60 Minutes”.

This is probably the most revealing section of “Bari does not understand the discipline she is trying to manage” with an implicit statement of what she thinks is less important. It is not actually the reporters job to make a case for the Admin, especially if they will not make it themselves

The Weiss memo is basically a gish gallop against her team's reporting. You do not need to debate executive power before airing interviews with tortured detainees.

obviously what this amounts to isn’t “moving the ball forward” but a demand that any reporting also include on the record assertions from the administration about how the immoral, illegal thing they’re doing is good and fine. no one is on the record because this stuff is indefensible!

The full Weiss memo is dogshit -who cares if administration figures “regret” sending people to CECOT -who cares about the criminal histories of the people we sent to CECOT, we sent them to a torture prison —who cares about the “debate” over the legality of sending people to a torture prison

Re-upping this because it deserves constant attention. RFK Jr has decided to revive the Tuskegee syphilis experiments, this time with Hep B and babies in the small African nation of Guinea-Bissau.

This beautiful child's death and blood is on the hands of every single elected official in this country that has refused to deal with the realities of and strategies to prevent gun violence. He was clearly a blessing in life, and may his memory be a blessing in death. people.com/parkland-sch...

This is 404 Media's @jasonkoebler.bsky.social waving at himself through a Flock camera; one of 60 we learned was left exposed to the open internet. Not only could anyone with a link livestream it, but some admin portals were open with no login credentials required. www.404media.co/flock-expose...

The New York Times investigated 346 people who donated at least $250,000 to Trump and found that more than half of them (197) have received pardons, jobs, government contracts, special treatment, or favors.

Perfect.

It's sexist when qualified women are passed over for jobs for unqualified men. It's also sexist when unqualified, stupid women like Bari Weiss are promoted by men to do their bidding in service of the patriarchy.

What we have here is a top editor spiking a story not because of serious editorial concerns, but because: 1) she is insecure and needs to assert authority; 2) she wants to drive serious journalists out of CBS; and 3) she craves attention, which is her oxygen. Especially number 3

In case it wasn't completely obvious, any liberal participating in Bari Weiss' fake 'debates' on @cbsnews.com needs get the hell out and withdraw, now. It may cost you money but will save your integrity.

really cannot be emphasized enough that bari weiss has literally never done journalism. i don’t mean that in the pejorative sense. i mean that in the “has never performed the job she was hired to do” sense

Inside the federal government as Trump and DOGE pushed it past its breaking point in 2025, as told by some of the more than 1,200 federal workers @hannahnatanson.bsky.social and @merylkornfield.bsky.social have spoken to this year

it's not that you have to be stupid to be an effective regime mouthpiece, but it certainly helps bari weiss that she has a wind tunnel between her ears www.nytimes.com/2025/12/21/b...

Apparently the actual thought police wanted Trump Administration approval of a story about its brutal concentration camp in El Salvador. www.nytimes.com/2025/12/21/b...

Per NY Times’s Michael Grynbaum on X, this is Sharyn Alfonsi’s email to her “60 Minutes” colleagues in full:

By trying to grease an interview with Stephen Miller, she sends the White House the message that they should work through her rather than CBS journalists. It’s a terrible way to run a newsroom, and it is exactly what you’d expect from an insecure editor who knows she’s over her head.

So Bari Weiss’s first real editorial intervention at CBS is to repress coverage of American concentration camps.

Gift link to story. Bari Weiss spiked a @60minutes.bsky.social story that made the Trump Admin look bad because her boss, David Ellison, wants Trump's approval for a hostile takeover of Warner Bros/Discovery network. www.nytimes.com/2025/12/21/b...

In case it wasn't completely obvious, any liberal participating in Bari Weiss' fake 'debates' on @cbsnews.com needs get the hell out and withdraw, now. It may cost you money but will save your integrity.

And there it is...
