Controversy in the US Over Pulled 60 Minutes Report

Controversy has erupted in the US following the withdrawal of a CBS News "60 Minutes" report on the deportation of migrants to a prison in El Salvador. The report, which had been vetted five times and approved by the channel's legal department, was pulled at the last minute, a move editors described as a political rather than a journalistic decision.

Journalist Sharyn Alfonsi, who brought the case to light, expressed concern about "corporate censorship." According to CNN sources, CBS News Managing Editor Bari Weiss raised questions about the lack of response from the Trump administration.

The report focused on testimonies from men from Venezuela who were deported to a maximum-security prison in El Salvador. The withdrawal of the report has raised fears of the show's dissolution and threats of resignation from collaborators.
