CBS News Faces Backlash Over Deportee Story
Update: 2025-12-22
Description
CBS News faces controversy as Sharyn Alfonsi, a veteran correspondent, accuses the network of corporate censorship for pulling a sixty Minutes segment on Venezuelan deportees sent to El Salvadors maximum-security prison. Alfonsi argues that the decision gives the government control over tough reporting, turning sixty Minutes into a government stenographer. New editor-in-chief Bari Weiss defends the move, stating its routine to hold stories lacking context or key voices. The situation unfolds amid coverage of the Trump administrations mass deportations, with fifty percent of adults disapproving, leaving everyone watching how the story evolves.
