Video: The 60 Minutes Story The Trump Administration Doesn’t Want You To See
This video is a 60 Minutes segment about how the Trump administration violated our constitution and people’s basic human dignity. The editor-in-chief of CBS News tried to suppress the story in order to curry favor with the Trump administration.
Running time: 13 minutes
Just a day and a half before it was set to be broadcast, new CBS News Editor-in-Chief Bari Weiss pulled a planned 60 Minutes investigative segment centering on allegations of abuses at an El Salvador detention center where the Trump administration sent hundreds of Venezuelan migrants last March.
Weiss told colleagues this weekend the piece — planned for Sunday night’s show — could not run without an on-the-record comment from an administration official. She pushed for 60 Minutes to interview Stephen Miller, senior advisor to President Trump, or someone of his stature. That’s according to two people with knowledge of events at the network who spoke on condition of anonymity, citing job security.

You can’t see the video in Italy? Why not? I thought YouTube was everywhere except China.

To suppress something like this is a decided danger to our nation. It is so important that we, the people, learn the truth or something close to it. More and more we will probably see news hidden or reworked to change the meaning. Thank you for posting this important piece which was beautifully and powerfully done.

Yes, I saw it. Could barely watch it. But it’s so powerful and important to go viral – which I think it did/is about to do.
