CNN's Brian Stelter reports that 60 Minutes, with little fanfare, plans to air Sharyn Alfonsi's "60 Minutes" story about Venezuelan men deported by the US to a hellish prison in El Salvador. A bootlegged copy of the story was already published the web so everyone will see if what the new CBS head Bari Weiss allows is the same as first planned, Stelter reports.

According to Brian Stelter, 60 Minutes is finally airing the "Inside CECOT" story that Bari Weiss shelved.

She made Sharyn Alfonsi fly to DC to get an interview with Tom Homan and Kristi Noem for the segment, but both refused.

So it'll run tonight -- with no promotion and against the NFL playoffs.[image or embed]
