24 December,2025 12:17 AM ISTCBS is under intense scrutiny after a shelved 60 Minutes investigation triggered a full-scale newsroom and public backlash. The controversy deepened when a Canadian affiliate accidentally aired the original segment, sparking questions about transparency, decision-making, and who ultimately controls the editorial direction at one of America’s biggest news networks. At the center of the storm is CBS News Chief Bari Weiss, who is now pushing a sweeping overhaul of the network’s editorial standards and workflows. According to internal reporting, Weiss is preparing a streamlined masthead designed to tighten oversight of politically sensitive or high-risk stories. WATCH ... [Read More]
24 December,2025 12:03 AM ISTA buried `60 Minutes` investigation has resurfaced and the world is watching. A pulled CBS segment, blocked from airing in the U.S., quietly appeared on a Canadian streaming platform and ignited an international firestorm.

But the withheld report reveals something far more disturbing: Venezuelan migrants describing torture, deprivation, and systematic brutality inside the world’s most feared detention facility. WATCH ... [Read More]

According to Alfonsi, the decision was tied to the lack of an on-camera response from the Trump administration. But she argues this is a dangerous new precedent: government silence shouldn’t become a “veto button” that kills investigative journalism. WATCH ... [Read More]
