The now-infamous '60 Minutes' segment pulled at the 11th hour by CBS News head Bari Weiss has surfaced anyway, notably because Bari doesn't realize how affiliate relations and marketing works in the TV business, but after watching it (you get to hear it - also shared @RonShowATL on X and BlueSky), Ron's left wondering what the big deal was.A similar '60 Minutes' story on the same el Salvadoran hellhole prison at CECOT aired in April; Ron spotlighted it, then. So okay, maybe Weiss' insistence that Sharyn Alfonsi's story didn't move the story "forward" has some merit, but then why did Weiss miss five screenings then essentially sign off on it Thursday, then again Friday before having a last-minute change-of-heart? Makes no sense, and ⁠now the organization's in chaos⁠.Weiss, we learned, pressed for someone from Homeland Security or the Trump administration to go on camera, to which Alfonsi and producers said they'd been invited and declined. Ron's hunch (and that of Alfonsi, too)? The "wait til they go on camera prior to airing" gambit is a ⁠tacit "kill switch"⁠ to stories the Trump White House wants bogged down.Ron walks through what the report revealed, why journalists inside 60 Minutes pushed back, and how the unaired segment ultimately leaked online anyway. Along the way, he explores the larger questions raised by the decision: media independence, political pressure, and what happens when powerful interests collide with journalism.Tune in to catch the Ron Show weekdays from 4-6pm Eastern time on Georgia NOW!

Mike Pesca, host of “The Gist” joins Chuck Todd for a wide-ranging conversation about the state of media, technology, and trust at the end of 2025—and where things may be headed next. They dig into how legacy media is being reshaped by new owners, shrinking business models, and audience capture, with a close look at CBS, the Ellisons, and whether disruption is a threat or a lifeline for traditional news brands. Pesca also reflects on the rise of nonprofit journalism, the limits of AI in reporting, and why Congress has largely abdicated its role in regulating both media and tech. The discussion then turns to the growing unease around AI, gambling, and prediction markets, from bipartisan support for getting smartphones out of schools to fears that unregulated betting is distorting journalism, sports, and public life. Pesca and Todd explore why optimism around AI is collapsing, how insider information can be exploited in everything from sports gambling to political markets, and why many of today’s “innovations” feel eerily similar to past technological panics. The throughline: institutions are lagging behind rapid change, and the cost of that delay is showing up everywhere—from newsrooms to classrooms to democracy itself.

Chuck Todd digs into the growing crisis of trust in American media and politics, sparked by CBS News pulling a 60 Minutes episode amid controversy and perceptions of corporate and political pressure. He examines how Bari Weiss’s handling of the situation exposed a lack of understanding of television news culture, why 60 Minutes has become the ultimate measure of CBS’s credibility, and how ownership, mergers, and appeasing power have once again put business interests ahead of journalism. The episode also explores troubling signals from the Justice Department’s handling of Epstein-related releases and what they reveal about political favoritism and eroding institutional independence. Chuck then widens the lens to the political fallout, arguing that Donald Trump squandered his political capital and failed to build a durable coalition, and lays out how cracks in Trump’s coalition are becoming chasms.

De Amerikaanse nieuwszender CBS besloot zondagavond op het laatste moment een tv-reportage uit het programma '60 Minutes' niet uit te zenden. In de reportage waren deportaties van Venezolaanse migranten naar een gevangenis in El Salvador te zien. Volgens CBS-hoofdredacteur Bari Weiss was de reportage niet evenwichtig genoeg, omdat er geen reactie van het Witte Huis in zat, terwijl er wel om wederhoor was gevraagd. "Nadat de hoofdredacteur de reportage gezien had, heeft het nog twee dagen geduurd voordat besloten is het niet uit te zenden. Die tijdspanne vind ik heel bijzonder", zegt Bas van Sluis, onderzoeksjournalist bij Dagblad van het Noorden. CBS zou niet kritisch durven zijn op het deportatiebeleid van Trump vanwege een eventuele overname van het mediabedrijf Warner Bros door moederbedrijf Paramount. "Het was wachten op de eerste fout of controversiële beslissing die Weiss zou maken. Hier zouden zakelijke belangen achter kunnen zitten die het verhaal kunnen kleuren", merkt Jildou van der Bijl, hoofdredacteur van Het Parool, op. 

To round out a very dark year, Will and Felix take a look at some grim stories: the Brown shooter's identity, another Epstein drop, Bari Weiss's promotion to Regime Censor, and Jelly Roll being pardoned. We then turn to the TPUSA conference where the fight for Charlie Kirk's legacy continues, with Nicki Minaj joining the fray and JD Vance working overtime to hold together a splintering coalition. Finally, we dive into a City Journal panel on the state of the modern right, where we learn what Gen Z conservatives think about Jews, Hitler, and marriage. By popular demand, ¡No Pasarán!

We're seeing the same far-right media consolidation in America as during Putin's rise to power. Bari Weiss is the new Roger Ailes, hired to destroy CBS News. The far-right Ellisons are aggressively going after Warner Bros. to build a media monopoly to dumb down more Americans so that we're easier to control.  That's why Andrea spoke at Courier News' Courage & Cowardice event in Washington, DC on December 11. Courier, the team that built the searchable Epstein files database released by Congress, brought together independent journalists and creators who still believe journalism is a public good. The main focus of the conversation, which you can listen to here on Gaslit Nation, was how to build and sustain independent media. Andrea was joined by progressive YouTuber Jack Cocchiarella, Brian Beutler, formerly of Crooked Media and The New Republic who now runs  Off Message; TikTok comedian Meredith Lynch; and in a discussion moderated by veteran editor Mark Jacob, formerly of the Chicago Tribune, to talk about media capitulation and how to fight back. Here's some info on the event.  Luckily, the Media and Democracy Project (MAD) exists and provided us with the following actions you can take:  Make videos highlighting moments of real accountability like celebrating the ABC reporter Mary Bruce who pressed MBS and Trump with tough, substantive questions. Credit your sources clearly and encourage your audience to click through and read the original reporting. Introduce your audience to journalism and media-education initiatives such as States Newsroom, the News Literacy Project, and Rebuild Local News.

Today's Headlines: CBS News is in full self-own mode after killing a 60 Minutes segment on El Salvador's CECOT megaprison—right before airtime—because leadership said it didn't “advance the story” or sufficiently platform the administration, despite months of reporting and unanswered requests for comment. Predictably, the backlash ensured way more people now care about the story than ever would have otherwise. Meanwhile, a federal judge let former CECOT detainee, Kilmar Abrego-Garcia remain free while his case continues, openly questioning whether ICE can be trusted to follow court orders at all. The DOJ, in the spirit of never taking a hint, is also appealing the dismissal of Trump's revenge prosecutions against James Comey and Letitia James, insisting Halligan was totally legit, therefore the indictment stands. At the FBI, Director Kash Patel is reportedly cruising around in a custom armored BMW with massage seats—purchased at his request—because Suburbans apparently don't scream “covert.” Elsewhere, the US is chasing another Venezuelan oil tanker in international waters (Venezuela calls it piracy), Trump is back to casually trying to acquire Greenland via a part-time envoy who is also the governor of Louisiana, and the administration is pulling dozens of career diplomats from posts around the world for reasons it will not explain. Dems seek to find Bondi in contempt, because actual accountability isn't a thing anymore. And finally, Trump capped off 2025 by announcing plans for new “Trump Class” Navy warships, which feels spiritually correct as a closing note.

On the Epstein matter, the current DOJ is not just putting its thumb on the scale for Trump. It's his defense team. Make no mistake: The top two officials at the Justice Department are executing Trump's wishes to cover-up the victims' statements and the details about Epstein's 2008 sweetheart deal. It's the president's cover-up, and the mainstream media needs to call it for what it is. And over at CBS's "60 Minutes," Bari Weiss wants Trump to know she's on the administration's side as well. Meanwhile, Vance made clear at AmericaFest that he's cool with literal Nazis in the MAGA coalition as he readies for his 2028 run.

Bari Weiss killed a 60 Minutes episode about the brutal prison in El Salvador where the Trump regime illegally deported Venezuelans.

David Waldman and Greg Dworkin have returned, and already it feels like there's more sunshine today. There! The DOJ released less than a percent of the Epstein files. Happy now? Apparently, dumping 500 pages with black lines over previously accessible documents and removing photos that even they had released previously fails to meet the spirit of the Epstein Files Transparency Act… Ok, the law of the Epstein Files Transparency Act, along with several other laws. It does fulfill the spirit of screwing as many as possible while keeping your buddies' backs, however. You couldn't catch the latest 60 Minutes episode because Bari Weiss caught and killed it first. CBS says the story wasn't ready, but it did take a while for Bari Weiss to get her story together as well. Trump is removing dozens of career diplomats from overseas posts, because what would they know? Louisiana Governor Jeff Landry will be special envoy to Greenland, because Jeff is a noted expert on agreeing with Trump.  Landry will remain Governor as Louisiana's constitution does not explicitly prohibit "side hustles". Nobody told ambassador to Israel Mike Huckabee to not to talk with Jonathan Pollard, who was convicted of selling American secrets for Israeli gold, who now hates Donald K. Trump for selling America for Saudi gold. The getting is good for Cynthia Lummis and Elise Stefanik, so they're gone, while Mike Johnson might not be aware that he's already been quiet fired.  The Federal Reserve pre-fired 11 of its 12 regional bank presidents before Trump could. How does Lindsey Halligan keep not doing it?

Don breaks down the explosive reporting surrounding CBS chief Bari Weiss pulling a planned 60 Minutes segment, a decision that has sent shockwaves through the journalism world. Don also highlights the courage of reporter Sharyn Alfonsi, who spoke out forcefully against the move in a blistering internal critique, raising urgent questions about editorial independence, corporate pressure, and the future of one of the most trusted names in American journalism. What does this say about the direction CBS is taking? Who gets to decide what stories the public is allowed to see? A necessary conversation about media power, integrity, and the cost of speaking truth inside legacy newsrooms. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
