Having to watch a bootlegged copy of a video from another country because my country censored it is making me feel as if I'm living in 1980s Eastern Germany.

Based on how much attention the “60 Minutes” piece is getting, I would like to ask Bari Weiss to please say she won’t publish one of my columns.

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!

If refusing to comment is enough to kill a story, then the government now has veto power over journalism.
That’s what CBS normalized last night — and it should scare everyone.

CBS Pulled a “60 Minutes” Story Because the White House Refused to Comment — That’s a Veto on Journalism
Pulling a finished investigation because the administration refused to comment isn’t journalism. It’s submission.

Don’t hang by your toes waiting for this story to air.
Hours before 60 Minutes was set to air a story on deportees who were sent by the Trump administration to prison in El Salvador, describing “brutal and torturous conditions,” 60 Minutes announced that it has pulled the segment and will air it in the future.

Instead of going through the time and tedium of subpoenas, hearings, and due process, Congress should just do as the Pentagon does: acting on a vague hunch without any evidence, declare that Pam Bondi is a "narco-terrorist" and bust some doors down.

When they wanted to release the files early this year, they paid $1M in overtime and put 1000 people on it - until they realized what was in the files. Now they’re slow walking the release.

I fully expect this administration has done everything possible to tamper with the Epstein files and protect Trump. I have zero confidence the release will change anything. But I will say the administration and House Republicans are certainly acting like something very bad is coming.
