Turmoil at CBS News After Bari Weiss Pulls a ‘60 Minutes’ Segment (www.nytimes.com)

CBS News remained roiled on Monday by fallout from the decision by its new editor in chief, Bari Weiss, to abruptly postpone a segment of Sunday’s episode of “60 Minutes” that was critical of the Trump administration.

“I held that story because it was not ready,” Ms. Weiss, who joined CBS News in October, told colleagues at the top of a 9 a.m. editorial call with the newsroom, according to a recording of her remarks. She said that while the testimony of the imprisoned men was “very powerful,” other news organizations had already reported their basic story.

That viewpoint found little sympathy within “60 Minutes.” The show’s staff and correspondents convened for a somber Monday afternoon meeting, where the correspondent Scott Pelley expressed frustration at Ms. Weiss’s handling of the situation and raised questions about her management style. He asked why she had weighed in at the last minute after not attending five screenings of the segment as it was being completed. “It’s not a part-time job,” Mr. Pelley said, according to four people familiar with the discussion who requested anonymity to describe a private exchange.

I'm not convinced this is the real reason it was pulled since that would have happened way earlier if so... but I kind of agree that it was mostly information that had already been reported. There were a few new details and the interviews were good but I think they should have followed up on the CECOT reporting by talking with people who have been imprisoned in other foreign prisons by the US, now the American CECOT prisoners have been released.
