"See BS News": Behind the 60 Minutes Story That Angered a Nation (02.02.26)
from Pulp News | Campus Skinny | The Pub · host KUCI News
On December 21, 2025, 60 Minutes pulled their story, “Inside CECOT”, from the programming just one day before it was set to air. It was a harrowing account of the conditions in the El Salvadorian prison where alleged Venezuelan gang members were detained. Now, nearly a month later, the segment was released to the public, much to the scrutiny of Americans who became aware of the network’s suspected allegiance to the Trump administration. Can this incident be merely passed off as a broadcast precaution? Or does it provide some shocking hints toward the suggestion of media censorship?
