CBS News, a network of Edward R. Morrow, Walter Cronkite, and more. Screwd up today.

CBS reported someone died, who had not died. How this happened is not important. All over the world, people were feeling the pain of death for someone who had not died. CBS lied in a way that unimaginable. This shows how far that network has fallen. CBS, a network with a great history of news reporting, became a joke today.
What died this afternoon was CBS's reputation for honesty and integrity. A particular man did not die this afternoon. CBS's reputation for reporting the news in an accurate way did indeed die today.

1. umm it is a mistake which has been corrected. hardly the death of any person or entity. nt

2. A mistake it was.

I believe that most who follow the news will not forgive this kind of reporting. That is my opinion.

3. I REALLY hold a grudge.

I haven't watched CBS since Dan Rather called Florida for Gore - an hour before the polls closed in the panhandle!

Nobody watches the network news anymore.

Les Moonves: Trump's run is 'damn good for CBS'
By ELIZA COLLINS 02/29/2016 06:15 PM EST

Donald Trump’s candidacy might not be making America great, CBS Chairman Les Moonves said Monday, but it’s great for his company.

"It may not be good for America, but it's damn good for CBS," Moonves said at the Morgan Stanley Technology, Media & Telecom Conference in San Francisco, according to The Hollywood Reporter — perfectly distilling what media critics have long suspected was motivating the round-the-clock coverage of Trump's presidential bid.

"Most of the ads are not about issues. They're sort of like the debates," Moonves said, noting, "[t]here's a lot of money in the marketplace."

The 2016 campaign is a "circus," he remarked, but "Donald's place in this election is a good thing."

"Man, who would have expected the ride we're all having right now? ... The money's rolling in and this is fun," Moonves went on. "I've never seen anything like this, and this going to be a very good year for us. Sorry. It's a terrible thing to say. But, bring it on, Donald. Keep going.”
