All Lies Apparently.
She's a Shill for Jewish Mass Killers and American Criminals.
Scum.

CBS parent company Paramount Skydance is owned by a MAGA Republican.
CBS was purchased by a MAGA Republican to do things like quash a 60 Minutes story critical of Republicans.

"If the standard for airing a story becomes, 'the government must agree to be interviewed,' then the government effectively gains control over the 60 Minutes broadcast. We go from being an investigative powerhouse to a stenographer for the state."

Censorship? It's called editorial decisions. Heck, Sharryll Atkinson was fired by Ben Rhodes brother for her dogged coverage of Benghazi. Nobody on the left shed a tear over that.

Editorial decisions like this are POLITICAL,not news based. She is acting as a house censor.
The very opposite of what she was being Feted As.
She's a Fraud.
A plant to silence real journalism.

Yeah, I thought the #18 was quite funny, especially since Pres Trump seems to be forming a ruling oligarchy, and their first real long-term efforts seem to be taking control of the media.(e.g., the Ellison family and Paramount)
Pres Trump seems to be following Orbán's playbook ...
How Hungary's Orbán uses control of the media to escape scrutiny and keep the public in the dark (July 2024) www.ap.org
... In the months leading up to elections for the European Parliament, Hungarians were warned that casting a ballot against Prime Minister Viktor Orbán would be a vote for all-out war. The right-wing Fidesz party cast the June 9 election as an existential struggle, one that could preserve peace in Europe if Orbán won -- or fuel widespread instability if he didn't. To sell that bold claim, Orbán used a sprawling pro-government media empire that's dominated the country's political discourse for more than a decade. The tactic worked ...

Bull. Give examples of "hard left advocates" in journalism. Anderson Cooper? Rachel Maddow? Idiot.
Where does that put The Young Turks on your spectrum?
You know this story was fully vetted multiple times so why is Weiss there to kill it?
If the White House can just not comment so it's advocates kill critical news that isn't journalism.
Your entire party is going to be destroyed by it's sheer inhumanity. CECOT is just another Abu Garib, Gitmo or the Metropolitan Correctional Center in New York City.

Or ...
"It goes without saying" means something is so obvious or self-evident that it doesn't need to be stated, but is said anyway to emphasize its truth, introduce a known fact, or sometimes as a slightly passive-aggressive way to point out something obvious to someone else. It functions as a synonym for "obviously," "of course," or "needless to say".

Is Trump the President?
Does the Buck stop with the President?
If Trump is Really in Charge, than this policy is Implemented with his tacit and active Approval.
He's setting the tone and demanding certain results.
Cruelty, Torture, No Due Process,the Demonizing of people for nothing.
Dehumanizing Torture for no purpose but sheer Sadism.
Human Rights Violations. Actual Torture.
These are the Lewser's chosen and desired Policies.
He is Totally Responsible Legally and Morally.
Fuck that Prick and his Satraps.

Was it incompetence, or was it intended?
Asked differently, was Ms Weiss' censorship intentionally applied only to the United States?
If so, why?
If not, well, she seems to be incompetent.

Really?
I found this ...
Between 2021 and 2022, more than 1,600 titles were removed from U.S. schools and libraries at the behest of parents, advocacy groups, elected officials, etc. The paradox? Banning these titles often dramatically increased readership interest in the circulation of banned books. business.gmu.edu
... What began as banning a book over specific themes -- race, gender, or sexuality -- has turned into a widespread and successful unintended promotional tool for lesser-known authors and politicians. In a forthcoming paper for Marketing Science, Sabari Rajan Karmegam, assistant professor of information systems and operations management at the Costello College of Business, found a 12% rise in circulation for the top 25 most-banned books. ...
