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."

Edit to add - We DO watch Colbert, too! Can't miss Colbert! 
Me too.
Brannon Braga nearly destroyed it in the beginning but Manny Cotto saved it the last 2 seasons (with attempts to fix the nonsense that Braga did to the Vulcans). Still have all the eps on VHS in a cabinet in my basement recorded when they were airing first run starting almost 25 years ago... 
I have seen many pics over the years of people doing that. 
I had a coworker who was really into it with her hubby and had gone to the very first convention in NYC in the early '70s... and I wouldn't be surprised if they did that too.
I have an old TNG costume (blue one since I was a labby) that I haven't donned in a long time and had debated wearing it to the last Creation Con I went to that was over 20 years ago but then didn't. It was part of Bill Shatner's and William Nimoy's last convention tour together and I have Shatner's autograph on a paperback of one of his Trek books that I brought and have Nimoy's on one of my TOS DVDs. I also got to meet fellow Philadelphian Bob Picardo from Voyager and Herb Jefferson Jr. from the original BSG.
And amazingly enough, I met Keir Dullea from 2001: A Space Odyssey. I was shocked that Dullea looked almost the same as he did in that movie 35 years earlier!
What was funny was that I had brought my laserdisc set of that movie, which is record album size, and people had an option for an autograph on a photo or whatever else (book, etc) and I handed Dullea's assistant (a young woman) the disc and they both stared at it, opened it up and intensely studied it, before I had to tell them what it was (I told them that it was the movie on 2 sides of 2 discs - my laserdisc player was an auto-changer one).
They apparently hadn't seen that before (by that point, DVDs had been out for a few years but I bought that before the DVD era so I could watch it in Dolby Digital 5.1). Looks like this -
I did get his "John Hancock" on the inside of the disc jacket!
LOL! 
True story but back in 1976, I had tics to be in the studio audience of a "Mike Douglas Show" taping which was done here in Philly in the-then KYW TV studios right near Independence Hall (the Weitzman National Museum of American Jewish History is at that location now).
The guests included Barbara Carerra, Don Knotts, and the-then hot child star Kristy McNichol. Well when the taping was done and we were leaving, I spotted Don Knotts hurriedly walking down a corridor to the back exit and I managed to catch up to him to ask for his autograph (had my handy little book ready) and he graciously stopped and obliged (he looked like his mind was on a million other things, which I expect it was).
But the most dramatic thing was out in front of the building when they brought Kristy McNichol out. She was 14 at the time and her managers basically shoved her into the middle of a growing crowd of fans, spectators and media. As me and the group I was with edged closer, I watched in sadness because when I was about to hand her my little book, the terror in her eyes due to all the people and media lights (it was dusk at the time), etc., impacted me so profoundly - especially when her manager gripped her shoulders to keep her in place, that after that, I refused to do anymore autograph-seeking for the next, almost-30 years (until that convention).
they didn't quote G Greenwald. He's turned into quite a crank in the last few years. And a Russian cheerleader to boot!
Lying Pile of Shit.
