It seems that US news media has been getting caught more often with its hands in the cookie jar of lies and other falsities lately. Im not even talking about journalists completely fabricating stories like we've seen with former CNN Journalist of the Year Claas Relotius, or Mike Barnicle who was forced to resign from the Boston Globe in 1998 after plagiarizing George Carlin. I'm not even talking about Jason Blair from the New York Times who, in 2002, had to leave after getting caught stealing material from other news outlets.
Actually, maybe CBS is pretty close to what Blair did ... no, CBS actually used footage from an Italian hospital and played it off as being from a NYC hospital. Yup, CBS Blaired it. They stole the news and video from another news outlet and used it, without credits given, as their own,
If you or I did that in college that would be called plagiarism. We would be facing expulsion from school. CBS? Well, that appears to be just business as usual in the fear mongering, propaganda machine that is the news media.
