NEW YORK ¨C What appeared to be a ¡°60 Minutes¡± report on a Salvadoran mega prison housing U.S.-deported migrants spread online on Monday, a day after CBS News pulled the segment prior to its scheduled Sunday broadcast, saying it needed additional reporting.
Reports from other news outlets indicated that the segment, which included allegations that Venezuelan deportees sent to the prison were tortured and raised questions about how the U.S. characterized them, had first streamed on Canada¡¯s Global TV app.
An online video labeled as the segment in question and carrying the Global TV logo in the lower right-hand corner of the screen was reviewed. Global TV normally streams new ¡°60 Minutes¡± ?episodes on Mondays, according to the app¡¯s website.
