The controversial Catholic church in Dedham, MA. Very liberal priest. Last time he had baby Jesus in a cage when they were locking kids up. Diocese wants him not to do it, but he has lots of support.

Outrage after CBS pulls 60 Minutes segment on El Salvador’s Cecot prison
Guardian: CBS News was dealing with internal and external uproar on Monday after it pulled at the last minute an investigation for its flagship 60 Minutes show into the harsh prison in El Salvador where the Trump administration deported hundreds of Venezuelans from the US earlier this year.
The episode about the Cecot mega-prison was due to air on Sunday night. However, in an “editor’s note” posted on X late that afternoon, the broadcaster’s official account announced that “the lineup for tonight’s edition of 60 Minutes has been updated. Our report ‘Inside Cecot’ will air in a future broadcast.”
Outrage followed, including from the key correspondent on the planned segment, Sharyn Alfonsi. She had interviewed some of those recently released about the “brutal and torturous” prison conditions. The Paramount Plus website had said on Sunday the segment was scheduled to air at 7.30pm ET that evening.
Bari Weiss, controversially appointed editor-in-chief of CBS News in October despite a lack of experience and fears of politicization at the storied TV network, after owner Paramount acquired her conservative startup the Free Press, addressed the issue on Monday morning.
She spoke at the company’s morning staff call amid reports that journalists at the news channel were threatening to quit and as parent company Paramount Skydance tweaked elements of its offer in the corporate battle to gain control of Warner Bros Discovery, which owns news rival CNN alongside its movie and streaming assets.
Weiss said: “I held that story and I held it because it wasn’t ready.” She said the story presented “very powerful testimony” of abuse at Cecot but the issues had already been reported and it needed more. However she then said: “We need to be able to make every effort to get the principals on the record and on camera.”
This expanded on points made by a CBS News spokesperson on Sunday that the segment “needed additional reporting” and on reporting by the New York Times that the piece should include interviews with relevant leaders from the Trump administration. Alfonsi had previously said the administration did not provide comment despite multiple requests and invitations from 60 Minutes.
Weiss said the public was already aware of what happened at the prison. -- nordy
