CBS News Editor-in-Chief Bari Weiss defended her decision to hold a 60 Minutes segment about the notorious Centro de Confinamiento del Terrorismo in an email to staff, arguing it was part of her strategy to restore viewers’ trust in the press. 

“Right now, the majority of Americans say they do not trust the press. It isn’t because they’re crazy,” Weiss wrote. “To win back their trust, we have to work hard.”
