60 minutes didn’t include a statement from the White House calling on it to amplify stories of Angel Parents.
The statement said this, “60 Minutes should spend their time and energy amplifying the stories of Angel Parents, whose innocent American children have tragically been murdered by vicious illegal aliens that President Trump are removing from the country.”
The White House sent CBS a statement that it did not use for the “60 Minutes” CECOT segment that was delayed by network editor-in-chief Bari Weiss, in which it called on the show to amplify stories of Angel Parents.
“As ’60 Minutes’ finalized its ‘Inside CECOT’ report last Thursday, CBS sent the White House a request for comment. A WH spokesperson responded within a few hours. The quote was not included in the ‘60’ report – so, judge for yourself whether it should have been included,” CNN media analyst Brian Stelter wrote on X Tuesday.
The statement from White House spokesperson Abigail Jackson said, according to the New York Times, “60 Minutes should spend their time and energy amplifying the stories of Angel Parents, whose innocent American children have tragically been murdered by vicious illegal aliens that President Trump are [sic] removing from the country.”
The segment was pulled from air by CBS News editor-in-chief Bari Weiss.
The “60 Minutes” segment pulled from air by CBS News editor-in-chief Bari Weiss did not include new comments from Trump administration officials, according to a copy of the segment viewed by Axios.
Why it matters: The segment, anchored by correspondent Sharyn Alfonsi, caused uproar internally over whether it was pulled for political reasons.
The package was distributed via an app owned by Global Television which airs “60 Minutes” in Canada.
