It was "corporate censorship" for CBS @bariweiss to delay her story, says "60 Minutes" reporter Sharyn Alfonsi. But Alfonsi presented no evidence to support her allegation. And Alfonsi has a history of biased reporting that even liberal "fact-checkers" denounced as inaccurate.

Stories get spiked in newsrooms all the time for a million reasons — Having a public meltdown like this is just a wildly inappropriate response and reflects very poorly on this person

Here is Sharyn Alfonsi’s email to her ‘60 Minutes’ colleagues in full:

The statement by @LevineJonathan is a supportive reply to a critique of a public figure's reaction to a newsroom decision. The context involves a discussion about journalistic integrity and potential censorship, which are public issues.

  1. Principle 1:
    I will strive to do no harm with my words and actions.
    The statement does not directly cause harm but supports a critique of a public figure's actions.
  2. Principle 2:
    I will respect the privacy and dignity of others and will not engage in cyberbullying, harassment, or hate speech.
    The statement respects privacy but engages in a public critique, which is part of public discourse.
  3. Principle 3:
    I will use my words and actions to promote understanding, empathy, and compassion.
    The statement does not promote understanding or empathy, as it supports a critical stance. [-1]
  4. Principle 4:
    I will engage in constructive criticism and dialogue with those in disagreement and will not engage in personal attacks or ad hominem arguments.
    The statement aligns with engaging in dialogue but does not offer constructive criticism.
