Per NY Times’s Michael Grynbaum on X, this is Sharyn Alfonsi’s email to her “60 Minutes” colleagues in full:
News Team, Thank you for the notes and texts. I apologize for not reaching out earlier. I learned on Saturday that Bari Weiss spiked our story, INSIDE CECOT, which was supposed to air tonight. We (Ori and I) asked for a call to discuss her decision. She did not afford us that courtesy/opportunity. Our story was screened five times and cleared by both CBS attorneys and Standards and Practices. It is factually correct. In my view, pulling it now-after every rigorous internal check has been met is not an editorial decision, it is a political one. We requested responses to questions and/or interviews with DHS, the White House, and the State Department. Government silence is a statement, not a VETO. Their refusal to be interviewed is a tactical maneuver designed to kill the story. If the administration's refusal to participate becomes a valid reason to spike a story, we have effectively handed them a "kill switch" for any reporting they find inconvenient. If the standard for airing a story becomes "the government must agree to be interviewed," then the government effectively gains control over the 60 Minutes broadcast. We go from an investigative powerhouse to a stenographer for the state. These men risked their lives to speak with us. We have a moral and professional obligation to the sources who entrusted us with their stories. Abandoning them now is a betrayal of the most basic tenet of journalism: giving voice to the voiceless. CBS spiked the Jeffrey Wigand interview due to legal concerns, nearly destroying the credibility of this broadcast. It took years to recover from that "low point." By pulling this story to shield an administration, we are repeating that history, but for political optics rather than legal ones. We have been promoting this story on social media for days. Our viewers are expecting it. When it fails to air without a credible explanation, the public will correctly identify this as corporate censorship. We are trading 50 years of "Gold Standard" reputation for a single week of political quiet. I care too much about this broadcast to watch it be dismantled without a fight. Sharyn

No one fuels the Epstein-related conspiracies more than the Trump White House.

The White House has been caught.

The administration inserted a photo of Bill Clinton, Michael Jackson, and Diana Ross into the Epstein files and falsely implied it showed them with victims.

In reality, it’s a publicly available fundraiser photo featuring Jackson and Ross’s own children.

Who coined "Metroidvania"? It wasn't @jparish.bsky.social, and he'll be the first to tell you. Besides, there are far more interesting questions, like: How did it spread? Evolve? And what's it got to do with rickrolling?

Watch til the end for a post-credits sting.

I'm increasingly convinced Trump's inner circle is giving him busy work (the White House ballroom, Kennedy Center, presidential plaques, gold decorations, etc.) while they essentially run the government. He admits that he doesn't even know who he is pardoning anymore.

David Brooks, who wrote in the NYT last month, "The Epstein Story? Count Me Out" is... in the latest Epstein photo dump published by @oversightdemocrats.house.gov.

He should absolutely be fired by NYT for this. Major conflict of interest that he didn't disclose.

Trump implying that one of his supporters murdered Rob Reiner for criticizing him is really something

Classy as always.

Really enjoyed the Pragmata demo. When I saw footage of the real-time hacking, it seemed a bit awkward? Now that I've tried it, was surprised how well it blends with the action. It's like Diana's casting cyber spells. But instead of hand gestures a la Arx Fatalis, it's a hacking mini-game.

If they’re only blowing up narco boats, boats they are certain are carrying tons of drugs, why would she need to worry?

It’s almost as if…
yasharali.bsky.social Yashar Ali 🐘 @yasharali.bsky.social · 12d
Nobel Peace Prize Winner María Corina Machado’s escape from Venezuela was particularly risky because her team had to inform the US military that she was escaping so they wouldn’t mistake her boat for an alleged narco boat and bomb it.

Full Story: bit.ly/3XJXIsh
Photo of María Corina Machado on a balcony in Oslo, Norway after escaping Venezuela. She had almost completed an escape that had been in the works for about two months and was carried out by a Venezuelan network that has helped other people to flee the country, the person close to the operation said. The group said it made an important call to the U.S. military before they set out to sea, warning American forces in the region of the vessel's occupants to avoid the kind of airstrike that has hit more than 20 other similar vessels in the past three months, killing more than 80 people. "We coordinated that she was going to leave by a specific area so that they would not blow up the boat," said the person close to the operation. The Trump administration was aware of the operation, said people familiar with the matter, but the extent of its involvement was unclear.

Will Arnett was on Conan and told a story about how Conan dealt with the death of his parents by accusing Jason Bateman of killing them. It’s so funny.
