CBS News chief Bari Weiss holds another 60 Minutes story critical of Trump's policies

CBS News boss Bari Weiss has put another 60 Minutes story critical of Donald Trump’s policies on hold, a new report claims.

Veteran journalist Anderson Cooper spent months working on the piece, said to be about the administration’s decision to accept South African refugees, the newsletter Status reports.

The as-yet unaired segment was viewed by producers in December with Weiss subsequently giving “extensive editorial feedback”, the outlet claims. The story was “all but guaranteed to provoke Trump” and had an “abnormal” level of review, Status adds.

. . .

Sources told the newsletter that a meeting was held to persuade Weiss into approving the story's release, unsuccessfully. Cooper has yet to comment on the story allegedly being pulled. . . .

The new ownership has certainly revealed a fascist bent.
