CBS has said it pulled its "60 Minutes" report on El Salvador's CECOT prison because it needed "additional reporting," according to Reuters. The broadcaster removed a link to the "Inside CECOT" segment before it was scheduled to be broadcast on Sunday.

"The broadcast lineup for tonight's edition of 60 Minutes has been updated," the program posted on X. "Our report 'Inside CECOT' will air in a future broadcast."

The decision came under fire from multiple journalists and commentators, who criticized CBS News' editor-in-chief Bari Weiss, who took over the role in October shortly after Skydance completed its takeover of Paramount and its subsidiaries.

Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist Glenn Greenwald wrote on X: "It's almost impressive how much damage Bari Weiss has done to CBS News in such a short period of time. Someone quickly schedule a prime-time Town Hall with Alan Dershowitz to rectify the harm."

1. Weiss needs to "fluff" it up for tRUMP

Pathetic weasel. tRUMP preachers hate her for her lifestyle. What an obsequious jackass.

[BOSSHOG]

2. "Additional Reporting"

The facts are extremely ugly. Trump can’t handle the truth. Weiss has no integrity, no soul. The Republican Party is a den of lying, cowardly criminals hell bent on pleasing him. He is a virulent, incredibly deadly cancer. And republicans think of ways to please him. Republican supporters are scum of the earth.

14. "Additional Reporting" aka major editing to remove facts that are

embarrassing and ugly for the fascist regime

3. As long as the CBS news continues along this vein, I, for one, won't be wasting my time watching.

[BonnieJW]

4. Nor I.

I had only been watching 60 minutes and Sunday morning until now. Done

[Paladin]

10. Yeah, that's it for me, until Bari Weiss is out of the picture.

Her trump-groveling is on full, unapologetic display. Damn shame what's happened to a once-respectable news source.

I urge other Democrats to do the same.

[Grim Chieftain]

5. Aside from sports, CBS is banned in our home n/t

[FarPoint]

6. I do have Paramont Plus

I have it with the need for my Star Trek/ Enterprise series.... a favorite... I do like some of their shows as well..." Matlock", Mayor of Kingstown...a few more...

I don't watch their news etc...

[moonshinegnomie]

16. rather than pay them (which is what they are counting on)

i found "alterative" ways to watch any paramount show i want without giving them a nickle

[DownriverDem]

17. Okay

How? Don't just leave us hanging.

7. Trump has his next press security

Trump has his next press security if Karoline Leavitt is fired or resigns.

8. I wish...

they didn't quote G Greenwald. He's turned into quite a crank in the last few years. And a Russian cheerleader to boot!

[BumRushDaShow]

9. I agree

His name came out of the blue although at this point, I suppose anyone from any end of the spectrum hurling tomatoes at CBS is fine.

[Ray Bruns]

11. Hey CBS! If you're going to lie, at least make it believable.

[Javaman]

12. this is what happens when you sell your soul to a psychopath.nt

[Bengus81]

13. There ya go...officially State regime media

[3Hotdogs]

Pravda, 24 hours a day.
