I refuse to watch 60 minutes.... Don't read tabloids and certainly don't watch tabloid news programs. (something about Audi 5000's, unintended acceleration, and misreporting facts.) -Tim "David G Fisher" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:41jC8.111670$[email hidden]... > Story on MS on 60 Minutes II. > >
You and I both Tim; only thing 60 minutes does well is heavy film editing to distort facts/support their point-of-view on X subject, which they go into every show segment, with the express purpose of doing what ever it takes to support it. Everything bad about journalism, is found in each episode of this rag. Speaking from personal experience; in the 80's, they did an episode of the elk hunting in Grand Teton Park. I was a Ranger there at that time, working the hunt. Having seen the interviews filmed, and then having seen the edited versions on the actual show, disgusted doesn't begin to describe it. Only things factual were the place names. They came in with an anti-hunting attitude, and did everything they could to their filming to support it. Haven't watched an episode since. -John "Tim Miser" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:[email hidden]...

Uh, John.

Tim, I agree. I used to think the 60 Min crew were crusading investigative reporters. Over the years, it became obvious that they're just another slavering bunch of pandering hucksters chasing the next JFKJr. sob story. I'm surprised they haven't ressurected the old streetcorner tabloid headline" "Spit Found in Coca-Cola!" Ed Murrow must be spinning in his grave.... --Steve Smith "Tim Miser" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:[email hidden]...
