Sooo...what became of that 60 Minutes CECOT story?

It was pulled last minute for CBS to add balance from the administration. It aired in its entirety in Canada. But what became of it ever getting on the air in U.S.? Was it effectively killed never to be seen ANYWHERE on CBS platforms?

But was there ever a promise to air it during 60 Minutes in the U.S. with the edits Weiss was looking for?

... that making it verboten sharpened the interest in it and more people saw it because they weren't allowed to first.

I stopped watching 60 Minutes and CBS minus football and Colbert, so I wouldn’t know or care I guess. It’s see BS news now.
