The story, exposing conditions at El Salvador's hellish Centro de Confinamiento del Terrorismo prison, had been advertised and promoted by CBS over the preceding days. The story's lead reporter, veteran correspondent Sharyn Alfonsi, said Sunday night that the story had been fact-checked, had gone through five internal screenings, and had been cleared by the company's attorneys. Weiss, in a pretty severe and dramatic move, overruled the company's checks and unilaterally determined that the story "needed additional reporting," as communicated by a company spokesperson.
