"Newsroom culture clash" at CBS News

No I'm not. We all have a choice.


Regardless, we all have a choice. At one time I had a job working for a big company, making a big salary, and I walked away. I made a choice. I can find other ways to get fed. And I did. I was much happier.

Were you ever a journalist? Being a journalist for some is not like selling insurance or working retail. It's also a choice.

No. However, I did take journalism classes when I was an undegraduate.

You're wrong! She didn't "kill" the story. She didn't "cancel" it. She postponed it. It will air. We can compare the new version with the producer's version. We will see if it was worth it. But none of that changes the fact that we all have a choice.

As I pointed out in an earlier post, this administration is *absolutely* determined that the truth about how prisoners are treated in El Salvador is not made known to the general public in the U.S. Therefore, I'll stand my ground until the segment has aired (if it does).

It already has been made public. Many times. By many people. I posted one of them here from April. If they want it to be a secret, it's too late.

So, all stories are equal? All platforms have the reach, impact and credibility 60 Minutes has had for 57 years (until...y'know...this week)?

You have been so maddeningly obtuse about what most of us seem to understand as a deliberate move to spare the Trump administration any embarrassment, scrutiny and potential criminal charges while attempting to pull off a hostile takeover that you'd think we were offering cash prizes for the margin by which the point can be missed.

What appears to be new here, though, is the careful and detailed corroboration and verification of the testimonies of the men who were detained regarding their abuse at the hands of CECOT officers. The administration has tried various forms of hand-waving to detract from the detainees' credibility. That has become much harder to do now.

No. Read what I was responding to IN CONTEXT. He says "this administration is *absolutely* determined that the truth about how prisoners are treated in El Salvador is not made known to the general public in the U.S.:

My response is: It already has. Nowhere did either he nor I talk about platforms. But the story has been told.

Once again, the story has been reported.

I'm just putting that quote there so everyone can stare at it.

So what?

A reminder of a previous story:


Here's another one:


The response by our government was: They were here illegally, and are subject to deportation.

The supreme court says it's OK

 
Senator Cory Booker has apparently obtained his own stream rip of Global's copy of the censored 60 Minutes segment, and has uploaded it to his personal Youtube channel.

Unless Youtube is willing to delete an upload from a sitting U.S. Senator, this copy may join the bittorrent version posted earlier as a permanently-available source. Posting as an FYI for those without bittorrent clients who also want a decent quality copy (1080p 60fps in this case).

 
And now there are more credible stories to add to the compendium. A case is built up through the steady accumulation of evidence.

Yes we all know. But the point is if the government wants it to be a secret, it's too late.

My question is: Evidence for what? The courts don't care and the congress doesn't care. The Supreme Court says he's free to keep deporting people to foreign countries. Out of jurisdiction of US laws. So it keeps happening.
 
"The court of public opinion". That's the best a journalist can do.

Here's what the polls say:


All of this is based on the reporting that's being done. The government doesn't present both sides. To them, everything is positive.
 
Come on. Pretending this isn’t semantic nonsense? If some version airs, ever, it won’t be the version originally produced and carefully vetted. Don’t try shoveling the manure that Bari is peddling as sincere.

However, you already have the producer's cut. So you can compare the two versions.

This is a test. We are now going to see who is in charge and how things work. Bari won the first battle. But she also laid out the reasons. What happens next means more than what happened. Because this woke everybody up. Tanya Simon is the EP. Do you trust her? Do you trust Sharyn Alfonsi? Do you trust the people who still work there? That's what this is about.

They're not just sheep who follow whatever the boss says. These are all fighters. They've been there before. We know this because Sharyn Alfonsi told us. If she hadn't, we would not have known any of this. Are they still there, or did they all quit? If they're all still there, they will fight for their reporting. They will do it in public. You don't get to be on the staff of 60 Minutes because you're a follower. You're a leader. That's how you got hired. So this is a test. We'll see what happens.
