Au contraire! Planting spoiled meat in the Food Lion (ABC), planting dynamite inside a gas tank (NBC), deliberately mistranslating foreign speakers (CBS)...

They still rely primarily on omission - what was that story that Dan Rather refused to report upon for weeks? - not that omission is any better than concocting details, as Orwell once said, omission is the most powerful form of lie. But Debka should not be excused simply by saying that CBS is also full of crap.

Oh no, I don't excuse them. It seems to me by saying that they are as reliable as ABCNNBCBS it is a recognition that I take it with a grain of salt.

FWIW, so far this story has been omitted by ABCNNBCBS. :-)
