CBS News is facing scrutiny after pulling a segment from its flagship Sunday broadcast about the Trump administration's deportations of Venezuelan men to a detention centre in El Salvador.
The last-minute decision by top editor Bari Weiss sparked widespread criticism, including from the CBS correspondent who reported the story.
Sharyn Alfonsi, the CBS reporter, told colleagues on Sunday that the move was "political", according to a private note that leaked to the media.
CBS had promoted the segment on social media ahead of its scheduled airtime on 60 Minutes, but said in a statement on Monday that the piece needed additional reporting.
The programme was set to document allegations of "brutal and torturous conditions" at the Terrorism Confinement Center in El Salvador, known as CECOT.
