  2. Oh great, now he’s going to try to grab our beaver again.

  4. Anybody got a link for the actual video? It doesn’t appear to be in the article about said video.

  5. This will go down in the history books as a tipping point of how legacy media died

  6. “I want you to know it was me.” -Canada

    edit: I spelt Canads wrong like a jabroni

  8. Canada:

    Merry Christmas and don’t try to twist this we just pressed play on a tape your current administration willingly and wrongfully imprisoned people

  9. At least Canadian TV broadcaster Global just REALLY had the motherfucking balls to air the segment since Bari Weiss made a weak ass political attempt at censorship by having it removed from the prior US broadcast of the very same episode that Global had just broadcasted.

  10. No one in MAGA has any concept of what the Streisand Effect is.

  12. Karma..it is a bitch.

    Or should it be Carma in honor of our northern brothers and sisters?

  21. Don’t just upvote it, but also watch the actual segment. It’s horrifying and shameful. We need new Nuremberg trials when this is over.

  24. So funny that we showed the clip on one of our networks. And another network cuts out Trump’s cameo in Home Alone 2

  25. Thanks, Canada! Really appreciate you guys looking out while our country’s been hijacked by the forces of evil. Sorry for the inconvenience regarding all that, btw. We promise to make it up to you later.

  26. Just watched the segment.

    This is truly disgusting.

    Donald….there’s a spot in hell for when you cross over.

  27. In my very limited mind, it’s ironic that Murphy Brown – a once incredibly successful show about the world of broadcast news and politics – aired on CBS and would tackler stories exactly like this. There is no way CBS would allow a show like that on the air today.

  28. I hate to say it but maybe you guys might want to start watching Canadian news. CBC has some of the best reporting in the world. You’ll actually see and hear what’s actively happening in your own country.

  31. The fact that freedom of press is under attack is a dire sign of the state of our country. I guess you say fake news enough times and freedom dies.

  32. I hope this story gets a Pulitzer, just to fuck over CBS and Weiss.

  33. Just checking – is basically all the same stuff Hilter did?
    But with better information technology now available?

  34. Thank you to our kind neighbors to the north, we can view it. We love you Canada!

  35. I just rewatched the segment as it has been leaked in multiple places. Here are some of the key talking points that came up:

    – once deportees arrived, the director of CECOT told them that they would never see the light of day or night again and said, “Welcome to Hell. I’ll make sure you never leave.”
    – one of the detainees who was interviewed by 60 Minutes was a college student with no criminal record who had been seeking asylum in the United States
    – once inside, detainees’ hands and knees were tied and they were forcibly shaved
    – guards began savagely beating detainees with their fists and batons. The college student interviewee was beaten until he was bleeding and had his head smashed against the bars, breaking one of his teeth
    – international observers note that CECOT does not meet UN standards for minimal humane treatment of prisoners (no mattresses or sheets, constant lights on, crowded cells with bunks stacked 4 high, no access to the outdoors, no contact with relatives, solitary confinement without lights)
    – 2 years ago, during the Biden administration, a US state department report on El Salvador observed “torture … and life-threatening conditions” in its prison system
    – in March, Trump administration struck a deal to pay El Salvador 4.7 million dollars to house detainees
    – Karoline Leavitt: “These are heinous monsters. Rapists, murderers, kidnappers, sexual assaulters who have no right to be in this country and who must be held accountable.”
    – this is demonstrably false: in an 81-page November report by the non-profit Human Rights Watch, they found that at least 48.8% of the Venezuelans who were sent there had no criminal record, and only 8 (or 3.1%) had been convicted of a violent or potentially violent offence
    – the Human Rights Watch also cross-referenced federal and state databases to confirm that the detainees were not gang members and obtained criminal records from Venezuela.
    – Records they obtained from the United States based on data obtained by ICE, and these confirmed that only 3% had been sentenced for a violent or potentially violent crime. CBS confirmed this.
    – CBS reporting stated that pending offences for deportees – which it speculates are immigration related – can’t be investigated because the Department of Homeland Security never released a complete list of the men it has sent to CECOT
    – 60 Minutes reviewed a document that ICE agents used to assess Venezuelans. A person with 8 points was designated as a gang member and therefore deportable. Tattoos that agents suspected could be gang related earned 4 points even though professional criminologists have pointed out that they are not an accurate way of identifying Venezuelan gang members
    – some of the deportees reported sexual assault by the guards, including having their genitalia beaten
    – food and medicine were often withheld, and CECOT doctors told detainees to just drink water to recover
    – an interviewee stated that this water was the same water being used for baths and toilets
    – when Secretary Kristi Noem toured the prison, her photo op in front of prisoners was in another area of the prison – not where the Venezuelans were. These detainees in that video were from El Salvador who were likely accused of being gang numbers.
    – No one from the administration spoke to any of the Venezuelan deportees.
    – Human Rights Watch confirmed detainees’ stories in consultation with students at UC Berkeley, who studied publicly available data (including videos that social media influencers have filmed within CECOT)
    – An interview with the prison warden confirmed that lights are on 24/7 and that spoke to the high temperature in the prison. Using harsh light and temperature – which is used in CECOT – is prohibited by UN standards
    – the Department of Homeland Security declined CBS’ request for an interview and referred all questions about CECOT to the government of El Salvador, who did not respond to CBS’ request.
    – in July, after 4 months, the 252 Venezuelans were released from CECOT in exchange for 10 Americans who were being held in Venezuela
