Staff at one of the USA’s top investigative programs are weighing a mass walkout after the network’s MAGA-curious chief allegedly spiked a chilling segment on the Donald Trump administration’s nationwide deportation drive.
“Inside [60 Minutes], where journalistic independence is sacrosanct, ‘people are threatening to quit over this’, I’m told,” CNN’s chief media analyst Brian Stelter posted late Sunday night of the mounting firestorm.
CBS had announced earlier in the afternoon it would pull a 60 Minutes segment otherwise billed as an inside look at “brutal and torturous conditions” at CECOT, the feared El Salvadoran megaprison to which the MAGA administration has deported hundreds of migrants this year.
