CBS surprises no-one

The article CBS censors “60 Minutes” report on torture of immigrant detainees by Patrick Martin (WSWS) writes,

“The leaked version of the “60 Minutes” segment is devastating. The courage of the men who testified is remarkable, as is the compassion of the students and human rights advocates who helped them, and the determination of Alfonsi and her team of journalists to bring this information to the public. The segment exposes the blatant lying and inhuman callousness of the Trump administration, particularly Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem […]”

I can confirm that these men were courageous to speak out. They speak Spanish. I watched the video at the post 🚨Holy shit. Someone leaked the entire 60 Minutes episode CBS didn’t want you to see. by @CallToActivism (Twitter).

It’s not like we’re not going to see it, people. There is no stopping it.

The footage of CECOT is horrifying, They’re not ashamed of it. Bukele is happy to let influencers show the world how prisoners are stuffed into cells, stacked on beds four high, like chickens on a roost. They show prisoners lined up in six rows, each seemingly nude, each with his head shaved, each with his hands tied behind his back, each with his forehead pressed into the spine of the person in front of him.

There is footage of Katherine Leavitt, who is an evil witch of a fu@&ing demon, denouncing everyone as a litany of horrific things, none of which they’ve even been accused of. She’s a demon, I cannot stress this enough. She is a true believer. Either that, or she’s a brilliant actress, like the Daniel Day Lewis of her generation. Either way, she’s intrinsic in helping her bosses do a lot of damage. How many people think to themselves, how could this pretty, blonde, Christian lady be wrong? She wouldn’t lie to us; she loves Jesus! Fock, dood, fix your scam radar before it’s too late.

Sharyn AlfonsiProps to Sharyn Alfonsi (Wikipedia) for this excellent report, described as follows by Patrick Martin.

“The domination of giant corporations and the billionaire families who control them is the fundamental source of the attacks on democratic rights faced by the entire working class. As the WSWS has emphasized, the return to power of Trump and the ongoing effort to establish a fascist dictatorship in America means that the political forms of rule are being brought into line with the underlying social reality. It is impossible to maintain even the pretense of democracy in a society riven by such massive economic and social inequality.

“The censorship of “60 Minutes” underscores the critical importance of the working class gaining access to the information needed to develop a clear understanding of the capitalist crisis and the dangers that it poses.”
