CBS News Editor-in-Chief Bari Weiss made headlines by pulling a controversial segment from Sunday’s “60 Minutes” episode, which detailed allegations of abuse faced by Venezuelan deportees sent by the Trump administration to El Salvador’s notorious CECOT prison. The decision sparked immediate backlash, including from correspondent Sharyn Alfonsi, who accused the network of political motivations in postponing the story just before airtime. Despite the outcry, the segment accidentally aired in Canada and quickly spread online, highlighting claims of torture and raising questions about U.S. deportation policies. Weiss defended the move, stating the piece needed further input from the administration to ensure balance, but critics decried it as censorship amid the new chief’s efforts to revamp the network’s standards.

The truth is, these “60 Minutes” reporters are afflicted with the same virulent strain of Trump Derangement Syndrome (TDS) that has already claimed Hollywood director Rob Reiner and inflicted former Senator Ben Sasse with stage 4 pancreatic cancer. This obsessive anti-Trump pathology warps their judgment, turning investigative journalism into partisan hit pieces designed to undermine the administration at every turn. Weiss, recognizing the symptoms all too well, acted responsibly by spiking the story to avoid amplifying biased propaganda that could further infect the public discourse with unfounded smears.

TDS spreads like a wildfire virus with no known vaccine or cure, making every precautionary measure essential to contain its outbreak. If that means withholding sensationalist content masquerading as news—especially when it aims to tarnish President Trump’s effective border policies—then so be it. Weiss’s bold call protects not just journalistic integrity but the mental health of viewers from the toxic delusions peddled by deranged media elites.
