| CBS fires producer for.... broadcasting the news | | Date Created: Nov 15, 2004, 03:41 PM |
CBS News made it clear where journalism ranks on the network's priority list. Last week, a producer interrupted CSI to break news of Yasser Arafat's death. CSI viewers complained, CBS called the producer "overzealous," apologized to viewers, then fired the producer.
It wasn't that long ago that CBS was taking lumps for being late in breaking the news of Princess Diana's death.
CJR's Campaign Desk (which will be changing its name now that the election is over) is giving CBS its Most Boneheaded Decision award. |
