Local news keeps neighborhoods informed — but it’s struggling to survive while our politicians and their political campaigns spend big with billionaire-owned platforms. If candidates care about community, their ad budgets should support local, independent, and BIPOC media too.

“60 Minutes” correspondent Sharyn Alfonsi is reportedly out at CBS following months of internal tension over editorial decisions and newsroom independence.

The conflict began after a segment Alfonsi reported on Venezuelan migrants sent to El Salvador’s CECOT prison was pulled in December. CBS News leadership said the piece was not ready. Alfonsi pushed back internally, accusing management of deferring to political pressure — a dispute that later became public. The report ultimately aired weeks later with minimal changes.
Despite continuing to file reports in the months that followed, Alfonsi says CBS stopped communicating with her team and allowed her contract to lapse.

The situation is raising broader concerns inside “60 Minutes,” long regarded as one of the most editorially independent programs in network television. Staff departures and internal criticism point to growing unease over whether corporate priorities and political considerations are influencing editorial decisions.

CBS leadership says the changes are part of an effort to modernize the program’s format and adapt to evolving audience habits.

LaBode Obanor draws a chilling line from Mobutu's Zaire to modern Washington — and the parallels are impossible to ignore. When institutions stop serving the people and start protecting the powerful, democracy doesn't collapse overnight. It quietly decays. The republic is being tested.
