CBS News says it’s issuing takedown orders for a shelved “60 Minutes” segment after it was posted on Global TV’s app on Monday and then spread online.

A representative for the network says its Canadian broadcast partner had “mistakenly published” the segment, dubbed “Inside CECOT,” after CBS News decided to delay it for a future broadcast.

Though Global has since removed the episode, the segment has been shared widely on social media.

CBS News says its parent company Paramount is in the process of issuing takedown orders to accounts that have shared the footage.

1. They can order whatever they like, it isn't going to work.

It's out. Downloaded and available across the interwebs. If they want to play a futile game of whack-a-mole, I suppose that's their prerogative. But once leaked, the damage is done.

2. worst scenario:

putin et al hired the most inept crew since the Three Stooges

best scenario:
despite being directed on exactly what to do, an undercover clique knew what was right and did the right thing

6. I have no doubt its been intentionally leaking all over the place.

There's a lot of angry people at CBS with this new news editor, I'm sure there'll be plenty of leaks of any other pieces that she kills.

4. Frenzied shouting, screaming, finger-pointing, career sabotage, and threats at CBS now. Rats on crank. I love it.

7. Too late.

Bootleg copies are all over the internet.

8. I watched it yesterday...

...so if CBS does actually air the episode some time in the future we will be able to see if they added any "additional reporting", as Bari Wiess claimed, or if they edited/censored the version that is out there now.

11. It will air when there are

Tornados, hurricanes, earthquakes, massive fires, or a 3 day weekend.
Preferably all at the same time.
Otherwise it will air opposite the Super Bowl.

9. So what was so important about it?

10. They are closing the barn door after the horse has escaped.

40 years ago killing a story worked but with the Internet today it is just about impossible to do that.
