Weiss pulls ’60 Minutes’ segment about El Salvador prison, WSJ reports

CBS News Editor in Chief Bari Weiss held a “60 Minutes” segment about a maximum-security prison in El Salvador, citing a need for further attempts at interviews and additional voices, The Wall Street Journal’s Isabella Simonetti reports. The decision sparked internal conflict, with correspondent Sharyn Alfonsi calling it political and a person close to the show saying the administration’s point of view was represented six times in the segment, including prior public comments from White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt about the deportees and that DHS had declined a request for an interview. The controversy unfolds as Paramount (PSKY) pursues a bid to acquire Warner Bros. Discovery (WBD).
