This is almost not funny because it will embarass CBS all the more. The whole point of this is to diagnose and fix a problem, not to work backwards from a predetermined outcome to spin the story into a mistake made by underlings. It’ll come down to an error by a low level fact checker who will lose his/her job and CBS will very seriously consider the matter resolved.Passing the buck. How noble. It seems that Les Moonves is not at all serious about correcting the problems that have placed CBS news behind Jon Stewart’s fake news.They may as well have dropped the pretense and hired Janet Reno or Jamie Gorelick to do the investigation.
