CBS News editor in chief Bari Weiss decided to shelve a planned 60 Minutes story titled Inside CECOT, creating an uproar inside CBS, but the report has reached a worldwide audience anyway.

On Monday, some Canadian viewers noticed that the pre-planned 60 Minutes episode was published on a streaming platform owned by Global TV, the network that has the rights to 60 Minutes in Canada.

The preplanned episode led with correspondent Sharyn Alfonsis story the one that Weiss stopped from airing in the US because she said it was not ready.

Several Canadian viewers shared clips and summaries of the story on social media, and within hours, the videos went viral on platforms like Reddit and Bluesky.
Watch fast, one of the Canadian viewers wrote on Bluesky, predicting that CBS would try to have the videos taken offline.

Inside the Bari Weiss decision that led to a 60 Minutes crisis
Progressive Substack writers and commentators blasted out the clips and urged people to share them. This could wind up being the most-watched newsmagazine segment in television history, the high-profile Trump antagonist George Conway commented on X.
A CBS News spokesperson had no immediate comment on the astonishing turn of events.
Alfonsis report was weeks in the making. Weiss screened it for the first time last Thursday night. The story was finalized on Friday, according to CBS sources, and was announced in a press release that same day.
On Saturday morning, Weiss began to change her mind about the story and raised concerns about its content, including the lack of responses from the relevant Trump administration officials.
But networks like CBS sometimes deliver taped programming to affiliates like Global TV ahead of time. That appears to be what happened in this case: The Friday version of the 60 Minutes episode is what streamed to Canadian viewers.
The inadvertent Canadian stream is the best thing that could have happened, a CBS source told CNN on Monday evening, arguing that the Alfonsi piece is excellent and should have been televised as intended.
People close to Weiss have argued that the piece was imbalanced, however, because it did not include interviews with Trump officials.
Weiss told staffers on Monday, We need to be able to get the principals on the record and on camera. However, in an earlier memo to colleagues, Alfonsi asserted that her team tried, and their refusal to be interviewed was a tactical maneuver designed to kill the story.
At the end of the segment that streamed on Global TVs platform, Alfonsi said Homeland Security declined our request for an interview and referred all questions about CECOT to El Salvador. The government there did not respond to our request.
The segment included sound bites from President Trump and Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem. But it was clearly meant to be a story about Venezuelan men deported to El Salvador, not about the officials who implemented Trumps mass deportation policy.
