#CBS announced the change 3 hours before the broadcast, a highly unusual last-minute switch. The decision was made after #BariWeiss, the new editor in chief of #CBSNews, requested numerous changes to the segment. CBS News said in a statement that the segment would air at a later date & “needed additional reporting.”

But #SharynAlfonsi, the veteran “ #60Minutes” correspondent who reported the segment, rejected that criticism in a private note to #CBS colleagues on Sunday.…
“Our story was screened 5 times & cleared by both CBS attorneys & Standards & Practices. It is factually correct. In my view, pulling it now, after every rigorous internal check has been met, is not an editorial decision, it is a political one.”
