CBS has announced it will finally air a controversial 60 Minutes segment investigating one of the Trump administration’s most bizarre claims. After weeks of uncertainty following MAGA-curious Bari Weiss’s takeover of the broadcaster, the “white genocide” segment headed by outgoing 60 Minutes correspondent Anderson Cooper will air on Sunday.

The episode, which was delayed due to an “abnormal” editing process, is slated to reveal the whole story about an alleged “genocide” of the caucasian diaspora in South Africa.

“President Trump says that White farmers in South Africa are victims of a genocide,” 60 Minutes wrote in promotional copy ahead of the release. “The South African government disputes that claim. 60 Minutes traveled to South Africa to see for ourselves.”

Weiss is reported to have delayed the release and left veteran 60 Minutes producer Michael Gavshon “exasperated” with her “extensive editorial feedback” on the episode.

10. IIam working on it

I think that there is too much airtime ( and band width) to fill.
And not tenough talent to fill the space.

[Polly Hennessey]

5. I agree about not watching CBS.

As always there must be an exception. For me, the exceptions are Elsbeth and Matlock. Gotta love Carrie Preston and Kathi Bates.

7. But there's one more program that's great!

I always watch CBS Sunday Morning 'moment of nature'.

Always relaxing!

13. I do

watch CBS Sunday morning show, but only the segments that are not political. I record it and skip over anything political.

[Marcuse]

6. Lying is his hate language.

14. 60 minutes is valuable in that it reaches the elderly Trump Voters like my father.

It could possibly inform them that Trump is a fucking lying asshole - since they haven't seemed to notice to this point.

Although I don't know anyone who actually watches 60 min. My dad will probably be watching a Gunsmoke rerun.
