The Justice Department said it found over a million more pages of Jeffrey Epstein documents, extending the time it will take for a full release. A law passed by Congress gave the department a deadline of last Friday to release the files. nyti.ms/49rG0QL

I don't think comms people for government will ever stop pitching story ideas to the public for what they think the media needs to cover.
Does the public actually think this is how the media ought to do their work?

WH spokesperson Abigail Jackson said "60 Minutes should spend their time and energy amplifying the stories of Angel Parents, whose innocent American children have tragically been murdered by vicious illegal aliens that President Trump are removing from the country."

Also, for #Weiss to assert that a component of the “additional reporting” that the report ostensibly “needs” is for Admin officials to be quoted, is utterly absurd: The #60Minutes team provided the Administration that opportunity and they declined. She should not EVER be called a Journalist.

Weiss said she didn't air it said because it doesn't break new ground. Plenty of 60 Minutes segments don't break new ground.
And even so, fine, that editing critique is usually incorporated in early drafts of projects, not right before they are about to air.

He looks wildly out of shape. I thought the story was neat last week. But putting this inflatable balloon out there against men in their 20s seems like a bad idea for his health.

I wonder what their response to this would be? And knowing that the billionaires chosen media gatekeeper is bad at the job she was hired to do, and that the government doesn't want them to see this?
Just watched the 60 Minutes segment. Basically it debunks the fundamental claim used by Trump admin that the detainees it sent there are “terrorists” and corroborates torture using clips from El Salvadorean influencers Bukele uses internally. Would be a shock to low information voters, probably

It's streaming on a Canadian website, but there is no telling for how long.
