My former colleague and amazing journalist @Sharyn_Alfonsi explains what happened with her @60Minutes story last night. A sad day for journalism. ☹️

[Yashar Ali 🐘 @yashar]

BREAKING

Sharyn Alfonsi, a correspondent for 60 Minutes, sent an internal email to colleagues stating that CBS News editor in chief Bari Weiss “spiked our story” about the Trump administration and the transfer of deportees to a prison in El Salvador.

In the email — which was first reported on by the Wall Street Journal — Alfonsi compares the decision to spike the story to the Jeffrey Wigand scandal.

Jeffrey Wigand was a tobacco industry whistleblower whose interview was initially withheld by CBS in the 1990s over legal concerns, a decision that severely damaged the network’s credibility and became one of the most infamous episodes in broadcast journalism.

Alfonsi writes that Weiss declined to speak with her about the decision.

She also says the move was political rather than editorial.

“Our story was screened five times and cleared by both CBS attorneys and Standards and Practices,” Alfonsi wrote. “It is factually correct.”

TV photog friends - I need your help. I can't keep https://t.co/rnybXb4T9K online - but I don't want to lose the wealth of information gathered over nearly 30 years. Can you help spread the work of our GoFundMe to pay the server costs to keep us online. https://t.co/SyuP84cfAw

@JacobFenston @CityCast_DC My son would love to show you around Bunker Hill Park - a quirkly one square block park (and former Civil War Fort) in the middle of Brookland.

There's a push in Congress to give tax breaks to businesses using draft beer systems called the CHEERS Act.

“It would be tremendous," a brewery owner told me. We break down the impact the measure would have on small businesses on @WPXI

My photog & I traveled to the border to shoot a 30 minute show on the fentanyl crisis. We were there for about 24 hrs and embedded w/ Customs and Border Protection to see how they’re stopping drugs from coming here. The show will start airing/streaming nationwide next week

[Blair Miller @BlairMillerTV]

We spent the day with @CBPPortDirNOG - the @CBP port director in Nogales, AZ. He showed us the front line of the country’s fight against #fentanyl for upcoming 30 minute show we are doing on the topic and some various stories. @brollnet

[Blair Miller @BlairMillerTV]

- @brollnet and I are spending some time with @CBP and @DHSgov along the Mexican border. We’re working on a series of stories and upcoming @Const_Ave episode - Today, Kevin is getting in some beauty shots. #drone #dronephotography #mexicanborder #nogales #fentanyl

[Blair Miller @BlairMillerTV]

Re: shoot at the border. This is the 1st time we’re shooting a show without traditional big cameras. Instead, @brollnet is using 2 full frame mirrorless cameras (they look like still cameras) & a drone. It’s gives the viewer a more “news magazine” view. Love the creativity.
