This conversation reminds me of several I had with my sister decades ago. I'm on the autism spectrum, picky about facts. She's neurotypical, and usually prefers to generalize.
She'd get upset about some injustice, an make a wildly overbroad statement about it. I'd be annoyed and "fix" it. ;)

Expect a "revolt" among 60 Minutes staff over Bari Weiss pulling the CECOT segment at the last minute, one network insider told me.
Another CBS News reporter added that a Rubicon had been crossed with this decision, which 60 Minutes correspondent Sharyn Alfonsi called "political" and not editorial.

If you think switching which corporate owned legacy media outlet you consume is the solution, you don't really understand how deep the problem is. It's not just ABS, CBS, WaPo or the LA Times. It's the system in which they work.
The only solution is to support pro-democracy independent media.
