"The CBS makeover has gone far beyond just slanting the news. It has become a portal pushing viewers to MAGA junk that masquerades as news. Because of Weiss, any news story by a CBS journalist now links to at least two companion pieces by the non-journalists at the Free Press. It isn’t just individual stories. The CBS News website now has a big section that features Free Press content."

"As with everything in the MAGA Upside Down, this means the ordinary citizens standing up to neofascist masked Proud Boy thugs wearing federal uniforms and invading our neighborhoods get labeled 'insurrectionists,' and the seditionists wielding guns to topple our democracy get called 'patriots.'”

"The strategy in Minnesota, California, Oregon, and elsewhere has less to do this time around with Trump’s desperation to maintain a grip on power and has far more to do with the manifestation of authoritarian aggression that has been inevitable since the day he won re-election."

So Trump provokes insurrectionist violence on Jan. 6 and he and his followers then flip the script so that the violence is being fomented by Antifa, with the state needed to put down the purported leftist insurrection….

"Fast forward five years."

David Neiwert notes that "projection has long been a dominant feature of the Republican mindset—indeed, it’s a core political weapon that they wield constantly in order to control public discourse in the mass media."

We’ve noted repeatedly how right wing billionaire Larry Ellison hired an unqualified troll named Bari Weiss to run CBS News for a very obvious set of reasons: to coddle wealth and power (particularly Trump and Netanyahu), validate and amplify right wing grievance and engagement bullshit, divide and distract the electorate, and undermine real journalism.

"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.

#CECOT #60Minutes #CBS

Regarding #CBS suppression of the CECOT story on 60 Minutes, I've determined I'm done with future subscriptions to any of the US corporate media streamers. There are other ways to get media. They can well and truly go fuck themselves.

Also, somehow we all survived without #Amazon, I deleted that account months ago. Bezos can also fuck himself.

Free yourself from these #fascist fuckers. All of them. #Boycott companies that do #fascism.

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.

EDIT: A webrip (non phone recording) to circulate: https://archive.org/details/60minutes-cecotsegment

CBS may as well start airing a 24/7/365 yule log fire with public domain music. They’ll save a lot of money—which they’ll need when their only advertisers are MAGA.

Good luck, fuckers!

"The story she killed was about people—real, breathing, suffering people—being thrown into the meat grinder of El Salvador’s CECOT prison, a place so notorious it makes Rikers look like a Sandals resort. [...] CBS had the receipts. They had the footage. They had the interviews. They had a chance to force the country to look directly at what’s being done in its name.

But Bari Weiss decided Trump’s feelings mattered more."

This from the same nation who pulled a documentary on one of it's concentration camps on foreign soil on Sunday?
That and thousand other things.
Sit down you Yankee clown! 😡

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.
