warped prioroties
At CBS News, it's okay to lie about a story, use forged documents to push a political agenda and otherwise flaunt the rules of respectable journalism. But don't you DARE break into the final moments of a hit program to announce that Yassir Arafat finally died after a week of being semi-dead, almost dead, brain-dead, not dead and dead again.
They'll fire your ass for that kind of mistake. After all, CBS News has high standards.
Hell-- at least the fired producer got the story right, which is more than I can say for Dan Rather, who still has HIS job.
The documents were not forged they were fake. There are not some real documents out there somewhere that they were copied from.
I'm thinking Spellcheck is a prioroty, too.
Good point! I had not thought of that. Also, it is not like they won't show that particular episode 20 more times before next season.
Maybe he thought those at home would like an emergency update on one of the American left's unsung heroes.
But you gotta remember, CSI NY is a hit show.
After all, who the hell watch 60 Minutes 2 any way?
Never fuck with a money winner.
Why do you folks give Fox News a pass for it's blatant deception and outright sleeze?
Doncha think that Vibrator O'Reilly should lose his job?
Right on! My sentiments exactly!
