After killing the CECOT story in the USA, CBS goofed and aired it in Canada. Now, as Canadians are uploading it to YouTube, CBS is filing copyright violations to block its further release.
But it's too late. Under Bari Weiss, CBS is state run media desperately cosplaying as legitimate journalism.

The redactions in the Epstein files are not consistent. In one place it looks like victim names are redacted including redacting the name of an Epstein girlfriend and then in other documents victim names are everywhere. ⚖️🤨◼️◼️◼️

Setting aside the journalistic malpractice of what Bari Weiss did, her inability to foresee that the piece would leak is stunning. Now they can never run the piece, because everyone would be able to see whatever changes they make. And everyone will see the original piece while CBS gets no revenue!

Had Bari Weiss just ran the story, it would have been seen by a couple million people tops. The bootleg has now gone viral, and may end up being the most-watched 60 Minutes segment ever. It might be time to rename the Streisand Effect.

There are legitimate reasons to think that there’s a problem with US public companies’ obsession with quarterly reports.
And then there are Trump’s reasons. He’s done well out of a lifetime of hiding his personal and company financials, and thinks he can also do well by hiding the next recession.

Journalism fail(s)
It does no one any good for Kirk’s life to be sane-washed or for reporters to rush to publish unverified information. It seems far too many people need to be reminded of that.
