This is an excellent explanation of how unbelievably incompetent and full on nonsense the note from Weiss was. My guess: 1. Someone who has very little experience is journalism (and not the stuff that tickles billionaires) is clearly a mile wide and foot deep as an editor and in far over her skis.
Watching the segment: The first thing I'm going to zero in on is the crime stats. Here's how 60 Minutes set it up:
- Leavitt saying the people going to CECOT were the worst of the worst
- Then 60 Minutes saying the Human Rights Watch report says that nearly half had no criminal history at all
- Leavitt saying the people going to CECOT were the worst of the worst
- Then 60 Minutes saying the Human Rights Watch report says that nearly half had no criminal history at all
Here's the rest of Bari Weiss' memo. "We do not present the administration's argument for why it sent 252 Venezuelans to CECOT," and on Sec. Noem's trip "no comment from her or her staff about what her goal on that trip was... or if she had or has concerns about the treatment of detainees." LOL!
