Meiselas: I’ve got to ask about your reaction to CBS censoring a report it was going to air on 60 Minutes… Is this something you see investigating?
Garcia: There are many members of Congress looking at this issue in particular, and I think CBS still has a lot of explaining to do.

I am furious that DOJ ignored the new federal law requiring release of the Epstein Files. I am equally angry that so many in legacy media seem not to care.

BRENNAN: What are you going to do to force DOJ to comply?
MASSIE: The quickest way and most expeditious way to get justice for these victims is to bring inherent contempt against Pam Bondi. That doesn't require going through the courts. We're drafting that right now.

In the 60 Minutes controversy, Weiss is likely doing what she always does: producing a line of propaganda masquerading as news coverage that serves the interest of her patrons–in this case, David Ellison, whose interests are served by protecting Donald Trump.

Bari Weiss's Counter-Journalistic Crusade Targets “60 Minutes”
