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.
EDIT: A webrip (non phone recording) to circulate: https://archive.org/details/60minutes-cecotsegment
Y'ALL -- someone anonymously sent Alison Gill (Daily Beans, The Breakdown, @MuellerSheWrote ) the FULL #60Minutes #CECOT episode and she just shared it out:

"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 is the 60 Minutes segment on CECOT by reporter Sharyn Alfonsi that Bari Weiss killed yesterday.
#BariWeiss should be in the Guinness Book of World Records. I'm pretty sure no one has killed a major news organization so quickly. https://newrepublic.com/article/204723/bari-weiss-cbs-news-cecot?utm_source=newsletter&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=tnr_daily
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! 😡

CN: Torture, Sexual & Physical Abuse
Watch the full CECOT segment (the one Bari Weiss killed)
Don’t let the U.S. regime get away with this. We need International Criminal Court arrest warrants for everyone involved. Wishful thinking? Maybe. But still…
Disgusting—that’s what the U.S. has become.
Taking people who never broke any law and torturing them for the entertainment of a Mad King.
(And to be clear: we don’t think torture camps should exist for people with criminal records either)
Now let the Streisand effect do its work.
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.
Canadians are the BEST neighbors! Here they've gone ahead and leaked the #CBS #60Minutes CECOT segment that Bari Weiss pulled for Trump. Enjoy!!!
