CBS news anchor Scott Pelley offered an apology — for the wrong reason.
“Our house is on fire,” said the CBS News managing editor and evening anchor. Pelley, in a recent speech at Quinnipiac University, said: “Today, right now, as we occupy this house (of American journalism) that was built for us, our house is on fire. These have been a bad few months for journalism. We’re getting the big stories wrong, over and over again.”
Oh, please, pass the Kleenex.
You mean news outlets frequently get facts wrong when competing to satisfy the public’s desire for information?! When has that not been the case? Remember when we were told that given the number of people working at the World Trade Center on 9/11/01, we should expect 20,000 to 40,000 dead? During Hurricane Katrina, some news outlets described gun battles that turned out to be nonexistent and offered up death totals that thankfully turned out to be exaggerated.
Not to mention NOT EVEN REPORTING some of the big stories.
Trying to reclaim some credibility for the post-Obama world?
That single period has to stand as the shortest excerpt ever posted on Free Republic.
Why did you even bother?
If Pelley were actually sorry, he’d eat a bullet in contrition after encouraging the other fifth-column fourth estate talking heads to do the same. Instead, he shows up on his “news” show and broadcasts more leftist propaganda. Maybe Pelley will choke on his own vomitous lies.
