You sure? I thought it was a part of "60 Minutes".

Nope it was NBC for sure.

They all do it. ABC did the Food Lion deal where their undercover
reporters fabricated dirty working conditions for the food, then filmed
it, sold moldy food to their employees, actually filmed themselves selling
themselves moldy food several times to get a good take. Of course, they
lost the court battle when Food Lion sued them. They stupidly kept the
outtakes.

CBS decided to preempt all the other networks on the start of the Iraq war
and aired a live attack piece, problem was, there was no war at the time,
not for quite some time. They ended up saying it was a rehearsal for the
real thing. You had to see it to believe it, they actually sent out a
live feed to the affiliates and claimed all this stuff was happening right
there, right now, when it wasn't... Gotta give them an E for effort
though.

Of course there are many many other fabrications by the big 3, plus also
Fox and CNN have been caught in the game to boot. Do a google search and
you'll be amazed at the court battles lost by them, they're all nothing
more than a propaganda machine for somebody, though who nobody knows...

For those that think this is a new thing, it's not. This has been
happening for a long time, but there's very little coverage of it because
if they nail the other network, they themselves become fair game as well,
a no win for them, and so it continues unchecked.
