CBS News says it’s issuing takedown orders for a shelved “60 Minutes” segment after it was posted on Global TV’s app on Monday and then spread online.
A representative for the network says its Canadian broadcast partner had “mistakenly published” the segment, dubbed “Inside CECOT,” after CBS News decided to delay it for a future broadcast.
Though Global has since removed the episode, the segment has been shared widely on social media.
Wasn’t a mistake, was it. It was a big fuck you.
is all this incompetence that’s been happeing recent getting worse, is it planned,or just too hard to hide nowadays? it seems to be constant near weekly corporate incompetence in some form or another.
Its sabotage. The leadership is incompetent, but they only make the rules. The people below them are the ones actually doing things.
I feel like the biggest problem in getting people to react to torture is that it’s so unrelatable.
I think a lot of people hear “stress positions”, “24 hour lights”, “pitch blackness”, and they think, ‘Well I’ve been tired before. I’ve been stuck in a hot airplane with the lights too bright. I’ve been in the dark before, these are minor discomforts.’
And I don’t think they understand that the point of all torture is to induce suffering. If the people doing this aren’t slicing someone’s body parts off with hot knives, it’s because you can get the same effect by telling someone to kneel on the ground and not letting them up for a full day, but there’s less mess.
It makes me really sad that I think people are often able to get away with torture because a key part of modern torture has been finding techniques that minimize visual signs of damage and have no similarity to things most people have experienced, and thus sound benign.
Not mentioned in all of this is that torture is – to many people’s surprise – actually very damaging for torturers too. The prison guards at this place are probably at an extremely elevated risk of intimate partner violence and suicide.
Fuck all it, especially weak-ass complicity in this fascist bullshit.
Honestly one of the most torturous things I’ve ever heard of was “little ease” a prison cell in the tower of London. It is a cell too short to stand in and too narrow to lay down in. You cant stretch out in any way. As much as I love sleeping in the fetal position, the impossibility of it would drive me insane rather quickly. The only problem is that when I think of little ease, my mind simply goes to, “why didn’t they make the floor at an angle?” And I’m like Jesus Christ, am I a horrible person for thinking of how they could make it worse? Yeah probably. But then I picture shoving musk in there and I feel better about myself.
Remember all the apologists who defended waterboarding?
17 years later, Sean Hannity still hasn’t fulfilled his promise to be waterboarded for charity.
Ironically, Archer handled it pretty well. He initially blew it off until he had to experience it for training, then he had a lot to say about how horrible it was, with a 1000-yard stare and everything. It was a little surprising, given how ridiculous the show usually is.
I mean, they get how loud (and bad) gunshots are for your ears.
And alligators……
They’re a mixed bag on what they treat even semi-seriously. They keep using guns and complaining about hearing damage, but they never get ear protection. And also, a female driver is a chauffeuse.
Can you blame people? We’ve had at minimum of 4 decades of Hollywood (over-)dramatization on what torture and espionage should look like. Who is to say that wasn’t done on purpose?
It’s absolutely on purpose. There’s even a term for it: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Copaganda
the segment has been shared widely on social media
Not widely enough.

Even if they do eventually air it, it would be enlightening to play “spot the difference” between what they didn’t want to air and what they finally do. My guess would be CBS doing something like
sed s/Trump/Biden/gto the script.Apparently Weiss’ problem with the piece in its current form is that they didn’t interview Stephen Miller so he could tell viewers why it was all actually OK
Thanks for posting other sources besides Catbox. Those links have never worked for me.
They’re only drawing more and more attention to it.
Could that be our Canadians brothers point? They are our ally after all.
I think snotflicker means the subsequent take down request. Not CBC airing it.
It was Global, not CBC
What even is there in that video?
Facts.
Not much we don’t already know, but confirmation is important, spreading the information further is important, and the fact that it makes the administration mad is important.
Barbara Streisand would like a word.
Donald Trump doesn’t find her attractive, plus she’s Jewish so MAGA would like the term to be renamed to winning biggly effect.
I’m liking Weissand Effect
“Between firing people who criticise Trump or refusing to acknowledge his mental decline, it’s clear that the people at the top of U.S. media are complicit in whitewashing the crimes of the Trump regime,” said media watchdog Kurt Oyj. “By contrast the people in charge of Canadian media are just, like, pretty checked out.”
“Oops”
The correct term is “Sorry”.
This is like the fuck up with redacting the Epstein files.
“Oops! Sorry!”
I’m still astonished people think these events are screw ups and not intentional.
It’s too bad nobody is brave enough to dump the raw files for that.
It could also be that they didn’t trust the regulars and installed trusted, inexperienced idiots to get it done.
Maybe. What better form of protest than an insider leaking sensitive information?
Very cute. I already have it on my RAID array. Take me down.
