CBS Responds to Pulling '60 Minutes' Episode as Bari Weiss Under Pressure [View all]

Source: Newsweek

Published Dec 22, 2025 at 03:54 AM EST


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."
