The new head of CBS News, Bari Weiss, is facing accusations of censorship after she abruptly canceled a segment from Sunday's episode of "60 Minutes" just three hours before broadcast. The segment centered on the stories of Venezuelan immigrants sent to El Salvador's brutal CECOT prison by the Trump administration. "When so much of our ability to communicate out facts to the world is concentrated in a small number of people, and there's a squeezing of independent media and the ability to get independent perspectives and voices out more broadly, I think we're working with an information ecosystem that is highly dangerous," says Alexa Koenig of the Human Rights Center at University of California, Berkeley. The center's research on torture and other human rights violations at CECOT was to be featured in the segment.
