CBS News Changes Its Story-- Again

Without noting previous error, CBS News slips in mention of Beverly Cocco's partisan connections to Parents Against the Draft

This is sort of what I expected, but I'm still surprised. But Rathergate has a clip of the story as it actually aired-- no mention of an ideological affiliation, and they don't seem eager to correct the record.

No mention about the sham emails CBS endorsed, but I expect we'll be seeing a rowback on that score shortly. Another rowback seen by at most thousands, when the actual dishonest broadcast was viewed by millions.

This is a corrupt organization. I said it, I meant it-- corrupt.

There are affiliate phone numbers and emails at the sidebar. It would probably be a good time to use them.

Update: Protein Wisdom has some documents of its own to report.

Oh sure, they want gays in the military, just not THEIR gay sons.

I think NBC is about to hatchet the fuck out of the CBS story.

Posted by: Joe R. the Unabrewer on September 29, 2004 06:33 PM

Eh, it wasn't so much a hatchet, but a mild debunking.

Brit Hume carried the newest fake story. Unfortunately, he seemed to yawn - you know, so what's new.

The leftist group is actually called People Against the War.

CBS: Putting the ANAL in analysis. Must be true, cuz only bullshit passes thru their signal.

Here is what Unabrewer mentioned. On the one hand, they don't mention CBS at all. On the other hand, if you see the video, when they show the e-mail they stamp a giant red "BUNK" on it. The good news is that it is far more responsible journalism than at CBS. The bad news is no well-earned spanking for Rather.

If anyone at CBS had a pulse, they would have immediately (after the Killian memo fiasco) hired a blogger -- or at least, someone who has read blogs and has been around the internet for a few years, and has a passing knowledge of the "hoaxes" and how to verify (or at least raise flags about) questionable email.

You know -- a college intern, or something.

These people are dinosaurs.

Terry Notus: thanks for the MSNBC link. That was a fairly decent article. I may actually try watching the news sometime, if this keeps up. It would've been kinda nice if they'd pointed to some of the obvious warning signs in the email (friend who works there! did the email end with 'send this to everyone you know'?) and referenced some of the hoax-watching sites, but all in all not too bad.

As for pointing more fingers at Dan Rather, I'm glad NBC did not. That sort of behavior is rarely wise on a news show. In fact, that's the behavior that has us all riled up, reaching conclusions instead of providing facts.

Chris Dreja RIP: of the legendary 60s Rock band The Yardbirds has died at 79. Dreja co-founded The Yardbirds in 1963; playing rhythm guitar alongside lead axman Tom Topham, singer Keith Relf, drummer Jim McCarthy and bassist Paul Samwell-Smith. The group would go on to feature three of the most celebrated guitarists in rock history in Eric Clapton, who replaced Topham in 1993; Jeff Beck, who took over for Clapton in 1965; and future Led Zeppelin heavyweight Jimmy Page, who joined in 1966; when Samwell-Smith left.

Amazon removed the guns from key art used on every James Bond film on Prime -ostensibly to provide a unified look for the series on streaming. Alas, removing the weapons left 007 in some awkward poses.
What does this portend about Amazon MGM's handling of Bond?
