"Miller joined Fox News' Charlie Hurt on Tuesday night, where he blasted CBS producers pushing back on CBS News editor-in-chief Bari Weiss spiking a segment on CECOT, the Salvadoran prison where the Trump administration has been deporting and indefinitely jailing migrants it claims are tied to organized crime. The report was advertised, but postponed just a couple of hours before it was supposed to air."
"I held a 60 Minutes story because it was not ready. While the story presented powerful testimony of torture at CECOT, it did not advance the ball the Times and other outlets have previously done similar work, she said. She added, The public knows that Venezuelans have been subjected to horrific treatment at this prison. To run a story on this subject two months later, we need to do more."
Stephen Miller publicly called for immediate firing of CBS 60 Minutes producers who opposed airing a report about CECOT, a Salvadoran prison where migrants have been deported and detained. Miller appeared on Fox News and demanded that producers who engaged in a revolt be fired for allegedly protecting violent criminals. CBS News editor-in-chief Bari Weiss postponed the segment, citing that the story was not ready, lacked on-the-record responses from principals and did not sufficiently advance previous reporting. Reporter Sharyn Alfonsi criticized the decision as political and corporate censorship, arguing refusal by officials to be interviewed appears tactical to kill the story.
