60 minutes a pawn for Sgrena's fiction.

First of all I can't believe 60 minutes Wednesday is still on the air but it was last night and the timing couldnt have been any worse for this fictitious report from Italian communist journalist Giuliana Sgrena Below is her account of what happened on March 4. Scroll down to see what MSNBC has found out from the Joint US-Italian investigation.....

60 Minutes--when your credibility is shot and you've got nothing left to lose.

no worries, everyone was watching either the movie Revelations on NBC or America's Top Model on UPN

Revelations is an interesting if not confusing movie since I am not intimately familiar with Revelations

the baby they cast as the returning Messiah is quite adorable

yes because this is just how much I think of CBS.....not much

I saw some of this in the emergency room last night--I drove a friend over--and what I thought was, Has 60 Minutes ever done such a story without taking the anti-US position, ever? It seems like the only time they ever take such a position is if the subject of the story is someone they hate in the first place, i.e. some corporate leader ("But then he tried to rob the US taxpayer, and the government shut him down.")

Journalists SHOULD be watching the government, but I think it says something when I can see who the show is featuring and instantly know what 60 Minutes' position will be, even if I can't see the entire story.
