Why did CBS delete this promo and cancel this from airing in full?

All of these links went to promotion of this story earlier today. All these links are dead now — that's how thoroughly they've scrubbed this.

"When it fails to air without a credible explanation, the public will correctly identify this as corporate censorship. We are trading 50 years of ‘gold standard’ reputation for a single week of political quiet.” www.nytimes.com/2025/12/21/b...

Ive been thinking how much a 60 min bit about CECOT wouldnt have gotten much long-term traction airing over the holidays but now that we have a bona-fide Media Scandal and there's blood in the water for others to draw out for days

It is soooo normal for a country to have a TV news report about its gulag system removed from the broadcast

(And this was earlier in the day)

Now seems like a swell time to point out that Frontline just released this excellent 11-minute mini-documentary about what happened inside CECOT.

(Haven't watched it)

Worth noting, I guess, that inside of a year we've gone from administration officials taking selfies of themselves at CECOT and bragging about how it's hell on earth to now getting their horrible little media worms to kill stories about it

An absolutely magnificent Freudian slip! 🤌🏼

(If you're wondering)

Now would be a great time for a 10 episode, 20 hour prestige series about the ten years between 1916 and 1926, covering the establishment of the 8-hr work day & 5-day work week, in the US. Each episode would be one year & the middle episode should be entirely devoted to the Battle of Blair Mountain.

I deeply want some games journo deep-diver to figure out what the absolute hell is going on with Cookie's Bustle. I want a full exposé on whatever freak is doing this. I'm sensing drama on Tallarico levels here

They updated the article with a correction. The only other place I found with the Blue Prince Ai claim was r/Asmongold

A reminder that The Escapist that people remembered does not exist anymore. Almost all the core staff packed up and left. Most reformed as Second Wind, which is doing decent work. The Escapist now exists to promote online gambling and act as a mouthpiece for unhinged venture capitalists. Let it die

In Mr Beast’s new video, a woman is alone for two weeks on a platform in the sky. and each day, a balloon is released at an inopportune moment for her. And if she fails to shoot the balloon with an arrow, they take a small portion of the platform that is her home

(What's the vision? Universities are just minor league football, basketball, and women's volleyball programs plus AI subscriptions for aspiring social media influencers?)

"As a writer, I find it hard to believe--" Oh please. :P Also, I remember when Frasier made his dad a main character despite the fact he was always dead on Cheers. They never mentioned it until Ted Danson guest starred. "You told them I was DEAD...?!" "We'd just had a fight, I was mad at you."
