Just watched the 60 Minutes segment. Basically it debunks the fundamental claim used by Trump admin that the detainees it sent there are “terrorists” and corroborates torture using clips from El Salvadorean influencers Bukele uses internally. Would be a shock to low information voters, probably

To everyone following the Bari Weiss story and struggling with the question of whether this is rank incompetence or malignity: Doesn't matter, because rank incompetence plus arrogance IS malignity, so even if you give her the benefit of the doubt (btw, there's no reason to), that's where you end up.

Mark Harris@markharris.bsky.socialDec 22(source)

For anyone who thinks I'm exaggerating, here is a direct quote from Weiss: "Of the 252 Venezuelans sent to CECOT, we say nearly half have no criminal histories. In other words, more than half do have criminal histories. We should spend a beat explaining this."

Mark Harris@markharris.bsky.socialDec 22(source)

All of Bari Weiss' notes on the CECOT piece are on the order of "We spend a lot of time on the people that O.J. Simpson killed. This implies there are other people he didn't kill. We need to flesh that out." www.deseret.com/politics/202...

Why Bari Weiss held a '60 Minutes' story

The CBS News editor said a report on El Salvador’s mega-prison failed to meet editorial standards. The correspondent behind it called the decision political.

Mark Harris@markharris.bsky.socialDec 22(source)

Hiring Bari Weiss was the first major decision that the Ellisons made after acquiring Paramount. Neither father nor failson should get his hands anywhere near Warner Brothers Discovery.

Mark Harris@markharris.bsky.socialDec 22(source)

Two problems with this frantic "The story wasn't ready" statement are 1) When a story isn't ready, you know it days, sometimes weeks in advance, not hours and 2) Bari Weiss' idea of how "to do more" has already been made public, and it was to call Stephen Miller. In short, she's lying.

NEW: Bari Weiss addresses her decision to hold last night's CECOT story on the CBS News morning editorial call: "Our viewers come first, not a listing schedule or anything else..."

Mark Harris@markharris.bsky.socialDec 22(source)

This is Bari Weiss in stonewalling, chin-out, "I won't let the haters get to me" mode. Whether she gets away with it will be determined by whether Sharyn Alfonsi's colleagues at 60 Minutes and CBS News decide to fight back. Pelley, Stahl, Cooper--this decision goes on everyone's permanent record.

Almost every story Weiss greenlit at the Free Press lacked sufficient context. It's kinda their entire schtick.

Ms. Weiss said in a statement late Sunday: “My job is to make sure that all stories we publish are the best they can be. Holding stories that aren’t ready for whatever reason — that they lack sufficient context, say, or that they are missing critical voices — happens every day in every newsroom. I look forward to airing this important piece when it’s ready.”

Mark Harris@markharris.bsky.socialDec 22(source)

Because Bari Weiss is an opportunistic political maneuverer, it probably doesn't get said clearly enough that she is also an astounding clod, in wildly over her head. The fact that she seems to have spiked this story without realizing this would happen tells you all you need to know about her.

Per NY Times’s Michael Grynbaum on X, this is Sharyn Alfonsi’s email to her “60 Minutes” colleagues in full:

News Team,
Thank you for the notes and texts. I apologize for not reaching out earlier.
I learned on Saturday that Bari Weiss spiked our story, INSIDE CECOT, which was supposed to air tonight. We (Ori and I) asked for a call to discuss her decision. She did not afford us that courtesy/opportunity.
Our story was screened five times and cleared by both CBS attorneys and Standards and Practices. It is factually correct. In my view, pulling it now-after every rigorous internal check has been met is not an editorial decision, it is a political one.
We requested responses to questions and/or interviews with DHS, the White House, and the State Department. Government silence is a statement, not a VETO. Their refusal to be interviewed is a tactical maneuver designed
to kill the story.
If the administration's refusal to participate becomes a valid reason to spike a story, we

have effectively handed them a "kill switch" for any reporting they find inconvenient.
If the standard for airing a story becomes
"the government must agree to be
interviewed," then the government effectively gains control over the 60 Minutes broadcast.
We go from an investigative powerhouse to a stenographer for the state.
These men risked their lives to speak with us.
We have a moral and professional obligation to the sources who entrusted us with their
stories. Abandoning them now is a betrayal of the most basic tenet of journalism: giving voice to the voiceless.
CBS spiked the Jeffrey Wigand interview due to legal concerns, nearly destroying the credibility of this broadcast. It took years to recover from that "low point." By pulling this story to shield an administration, we are repeating that history, but for political optics rather than legal ones.

We have been promoting this story on social media for days. Our viewers are expecting it.
When it fails to air without a credible
explanation, the public will correctly identify this as corporate censorship. We are trading 50 years of "Gold Standard" reputation for a single week of political quiet.
I care too much about this broadcast to watch
it be dismantled without a fight.
Sharyn

CBS News now has to decide if it's a news organization or a White House propaganda instrument. If it is the former, Bari Weiss should lose her job over this decision, and CBS News staffers should go public and say she does not have their confidence. www.nytimes.com/2025/12/21/b...

Some of the best (I think) material in Five Came Back is there because a librarian saw what I was working on over 3 days and asked me if I'd like to take a look at a box of old George Stevens papers that had not been catalogued yet. So no, for a ton of reasons, AI cannot "do the research for you."

At some point very soon, all of the people who make 60 Minutes are going to have to decide where their personal line is.

"Look, in fairness, I was talking to a group of racists and Nazis, and I needed to sound like them to get them on my side because no one has ever loved me, probably due to my lack of anything approaching human decency or a moral core.

I saw this tonight--it's a fantastically sharp, thoughtful, tough and uproariously funny take on Austen (btw one that doesn't smirk at Pride & Prejudice but attests to its brilliance), with the best comic cast I have seen in ages. This richly deserves more life in NYC and elsewhere.

Much to my regret I only saw Emily Breeze's "Are the Bennet Girls OK" at Bedlam last night--they close on Sunday, and so the tickets are now TIGHT and also, lbr, pricy. But it's gorgeous! I had clocked it was an Austen-in-modern-idiom project and thought, oh, we've seen those already...(1/7)

Lizzie (Elyse Steingold), wearing blue, and Kitty Bennet (Violeta Picayo), in mauve, sit by a staircase reading a letter that is about to disappoint them, perhaps because it says the remaining tickets to their show are one hundred and eighty nine dollars.

I've spent the last 5 years on a book about the complex relationship between pop culture and the gay rights movement. This thread is a good reminder that art can do a great deal, but it's slow and cumulative. It gives people new ways to think, but it's not its job to "fix" things, and it doesn't.

Again, I truly *loved* this week’s episode of Heated Rivalry, but IT IS A WISH FULFILLMENT ROMANCE. The success of a gay hockey romance TV show, largely watched by people who are neither hockey players nor hockey fans, is not “proof that the world is ready and all we would do is love you”
