Archivists have saved and uploaded copies of the 60 Minutes episode new CBS editor-in-chief Bari Weiss ordered be shelved as a torrent and multiple file sharing sites after an international distributor aired the episode.

The moves show how difficult it may be for CBS to stop the episode, which focused on the experience of Venezuelans deported to El Salvadorian mega prison CECOT, from spreading across the internet. Bari Weiss stopped the episode from being released Sunday even after the episode was reviewed and checked multiple times by the news outlet, according to an email CBS correspondent Sharyn Alfonsi sent to her colleagues.

The Streisand Effect sends its regards.

I don't watch 60 Minutes but I watched this episode.

Seems like a perfect video for Peertube.

[–] Chozo@fedia.io 43 points 20 hours ago (2 children)

That'll ensure nobody sees it.

[–] 0_o7@lemmy.dbzer0.com 8 points 15 hours ago (1 children)

It will be more than how many people will see it by being just a torrent.

If it's on peertube, you can just send a link to people and it'll stream right on the browser (granted it has enough peers which I'm pretty sure it will).

Nah, nah, someone does.

...surely. Someone does, anybody?

They always need more content. This would be a great addition.

“Goverment silence is a statement, not a VETO. Their refusal to be interviewed is a tactical maneuver designed to kill the story,”…

Couldn’t have said it better myself.

If she gets more people to watch 60 minutes, has she not done her job? 😂

[–] njm1314@lemmy.world 32 points 18 hours ago (1 children)

They're not watching 60 minutes. They're watching a story elsewhere that 60 Minutes didn't want to air. So basically 60 Minutes did all the work and gets none of the rewards here. They don't get the ratings they don't get the eyes and they don't get the advertising dollars.

[–] nonentity@sh.itjust.works 9 points 16 hours ago (1 children)

Advertising and ratings are toxic metrics to bind journalism to.

The proper way to proceed is to build systems and infrastructure that replace these vacuous incentives.

[–] notgold@aussie.zone 4 points 13 hours ago

But that's what pays for the content in our current system. Publicly funded journalism is my preference but the problem is some governments bend those to their will and we don't get true reporting. I agree with you that advertisers metrics are bullshit and we should do better but I just don't see where we can go.

Get fucked Bari!

Bwahaha. Love it. More of this!

[–] Treczoks@lemmy.world 14 points 10 hours ago

This is the best advertizing they can get to spread it wide and far.

[–] NatakuNox@lemmy.world 8 points 19 hours ago (2 children)

Where can I find it? They put so much effort into hiding it. Gotta watch it

[–] avidamoeba@lemmy.ca 6 points 15 hours ago

Make it famous!
