Zirinsky said she didn’t know the image of the front page covering Ryan Ferguson’s sentencing had been drastically manipulated.

Zirinsky blamed the fakery on a freelancer hired by CBS

If she knew, she's a lousy newspaper person.

If she didn't know, she's a lousy producer.

You just can't get good help anymore...

The swirl they're caught in goes counter clockwise ... the flush handle was pulled several years ago.

the Tribune’s Dec. 5 front page for some reason showed a photograph of Ferguson in a suit and tie at his sentencing. The original photograph showed Ferguson in a bright orange jail uniform.

Seems strange that his Managing Editor would beef about it, though.

I presume the suit and tie looked better than the orange jump suit.

"It was a graphic, and we don’t feel it changed the editorial value of the story, per se."

I see they're still trying to peddle the "fake, but accurate" excuse.

"It was an egregious oversight for us not to know it," Zirinsky said, according to the Tribune. "It was a graphic, and we don’t feel it changed the editorial value of the story, per se."

Yup. "Fake, but accurate."

Sheesh.

How did they alter the picture...put horns on the guy or something? After all, such minor changes are only editorial and don't change the facts.

The culture of deception is prevalent in CBS, even the newly hired interns know the score.

CBS. Hmmm Isn't this the same station that aired a movie about the Atlanta child murders and came to the conclusion that the man convicted might be innocent? Even though the murders ceased with his imprisonment!

c-B-S in action!

more fake documents from CBS. Clearly losing Rather and that other hump, hasn't solved their ethical problems.

Absolutely incapable of accepting responsibility for their dishonesty even when caught. Minimize the importance of the fraud and blame others everytime is the standard CBS (Corporation for Bias and Slant)posture in all of these.

Does anyone still watch this stuff?

Nice to see Mary Mapes found work, after that gig as a writer didn't work out so good.
