[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Other media outlet can run it for her? Will Bari let someone else take it for their network? (Big of her, and big of me to ask)[/quote]

Seriously?  The whole point is to keep the public from seeing it.  Why would she give it to another outlet?[/quote]

Maybe she wanted a more balanced story?  [b]It's quite possible that the story on CECOT was well-researched, factual, etc... but still negative against it.[/b] I know it's a hard concept to fathom, but journalism used to be far more neutral than it is today.

I miss Walter Cronkite, who maintained that journalists must adhere to high ethical standards, including fairness, balance, and accountability.  He understood that trust is built through consistent, honest reporting and that journalists must earn the public's confidence by being transparent and reliable.  Today's "news" is anything but that anymore.[/quote]

I say this respectfully, but what would be the “positive” spin on the sending of US detainees to CECOT? The prison had been flagged for human rights violations way before US detainees were sent there.[/quote]

The organizations flagging CECOT aren't exactly unbiased.  Then again, if you're worried about CECOT, feel free to help find another country where people can be deported.  They can't stay here.[/quote]

That's just it -- they CAN stay here.

Let's send you to CECOT for a month and have you report back about your experience. [/quote]
