A '60 Minutes' Segment Allegedly Pulled for Being Anti-Trump Just Aired in Canada

A 60 Minutes segment, reportedly yanked from U.S. broadcast for not being “friendly enough” to the Trump Administration, has surprisingly surfaced on Canadian television. The piece in question covers the deportation of Venezuelan migrants to El Salvador's notoriously harsh CECOT prison.

According to reports circulating online, the decision to pull the piece was made by journalist Bari Weiss. The segment was allegedly deemed politically unfavorable, focusing on the controversial policy of sending Venezuelan migrants to the Center for the Confinement of Terrorism (CECOT) in El Salvador.

The prison is infamous for its brutal conditions and has faced international scrutiny over human rights concerns. The allegation that such a critical piece of journalism was shelved due to political pressure raises serious questions about editorial independence at the acclaimed news program.

In a strange twist, while the segment never made it to air in the United States, it was broadcast in Canada. It didn't take long for the news to spread, and links to downloaded versions of the show are now being shared across social media. The attempt to keep the report from view seems to have ironically drawn more attention to it.
