Anyone else paying attention to the stories scheduled for 60 Minutes?

There was supposed to be a story about the "recent large scale firings at the IRS".

60 Minutes is running late (because of golf). They just did the lead in previews for the stories. The scheduled segment about the IRS was not previewed. Instead a segment that was not mentioned in the synopsis on "the Guide" (cable) was "teased".

Was 60 Minutes forced to pull a segment that questioned the actions of the ~~administration~~ take over?

This is unnerving.

Whoa!!??

It helps nobody to panic when imminent events will resolve it. In this case Bernardo de La Paz May 18 #1

The segment was being promoted on several platforms, from which it has "disappeared". yellow dahlia May 18 #4

If the show has finished and the segment has not aired, then yes, I understand and share the concern. . . . nt Bernardo de La Paz May 18 #6

... the IRS segment has been advertised before. It makes sense for them to spend a bit of the precious time to advertise other segments.

When you don't know and can't know something and can't do anything to know more ... relax!

"Content no longer available", on TikTok, The 60 Minutes FB page, You Tube, Paramount Plus - 60 Minutes overtime. There was a 25 second promo video,which existed two days ago, and is now no longer available.

Very obviously - the story was pulled.

I am going to continue to search for an explanation. But clearly my initial concern was well founded. I hope someone else is paying attention and digs deeper (in the journalism-type world).

Sometimes some of us know why we are NOT relaxing.

The season ends tonight.

I wanted to see the segment on China, but it's over.

The Cajun one w/ the accordions is the one that was added to tonight's line up, at the last minute. It was an added segment to compensate for them pulling the IRS segment.
