One of the finest investigative journalists of our times, a veteran of CBS news foibles himself, has posted a definitive explainer -- with deep context -- of the "60 Minutes" takedown by "oligarch functionary" Bari Weiss.
"Weiss simply has no idea what it took to report this story, and even less about the value of what her reporter delivered. Ellison would not have installed someone who did."
Good - and damning - quote.

Bari Weiss would probably be very upset if everyone were to download a copy of this video and watch it. It's the 60 Minutes segment on CECOT that CBS pulled off the air in an act of cowardice and capitulation to the fascist regime.
It seems that it was briefly available for users in Canada, and someone was able to make a recording of their screen with the contents.

Y'ALL -- someone anonymously sent Alison Gill (Daily Beans, The Breakdown, @MuellerSheWrote ) the FULL #60Minutes #CECOT episode and she just shared it out:

for those cowards at 60 Minutes, i do recommend #PBS Frontline on #CECOT

Judging the number of copies I've seen mentioned of the "suppressed" 60 Minutes segment about CECOT… I think the US authorities and CBS management are about to learn what Streisand Effect is.
Let's try this again.
This is the 60 Minutes segment on CECOT that got pulled in the US, but aired and airs in Canada, and is, at this moment, watchable here:

Here's that 60 minutes segment - not the Canadian guy filming his TV (thank you), but a 1080p grab from a browser someone posted to Internet Archive.
That 1080p video is 1.4GB. This 720p version (crf:35) is under 40MB, which just happens to be the default / most common media size limit for mastodon instances.
NOTE: mastodon re-encoded the upload to 100MB so HERE'S THE 40MB version

This is unconscionable, and must not be covered up. Apparently CNN is running "the story" now; those jackals just want the clicks.
share / download / re-post elsewhere, etc.
And here's a local version that's less than 75MB:

I also uploaded the pulled #CECOT #60Minutes footage to my video mirror in case Archive is forced to take it down.

If you are having trouble finding a working link to the 60 Minutes segment on CECOT that Bari Weiss spiked, here’s one that works as of the time of this post. https://www.reddit.com/r/Trumpvirus/comments/1ptgexq/60_minutes_inside_cecot_bootlegged_episode_not/
@heidilifeldman there's also a PBS Frontline take that aired well before CBS got around to capitulating on airing their own expose. Might as well support real journalism with "views" while boosting interest for a waffle house.
