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

A crossword a day in the hopes to keep dementia away (for me, at least)
sownow.bsky.social The Story of Writing @sownow.bsky.social · 16h
On this day in 1913, the first crossword puzzle appeared. It was published as Arthur Wynne’s “word cross” in the New York World newspaper. Soon after the puzzle first ran, a typesetting error made its name appear as “crossword” and it’s been called that ever since.

No one I know cares about Bill Clinton.

We care about the felon is that is sitting US President.

All of that redacting was further evident of guilt of T🤡ump.

Impeach him. Again. Put him in jail.

Photojournalist David Burnett is as thoughtful a writer as he is a wonder photographer. His OpEd in the @washingtonpost.com, about the Nick Ut/napalm girl documentary The Stringer, is a must read.

I had the pleasure of working with Dave a couple of times. He's a good man. #PhotoSky #Photojournalism

If that's the case... she should be fired. She doesn't understand media.

If that's not the case....she should be fired. For diarrhea of the mouth. And not understanding the media.
