>> FOX took them to task
Took *who* to task? One or more actual individuals representing NBC?
Or did they just do a third-party panel gripe about what NBC did, with no one from NBC present?
Reason I’m asking: once the media pulls this crap, they themselves become *newsworthy* and their lies to frame an innocent individual become a *story* — and other news outlets OUGHT to be cornering them on the street, 60-minutes style, covering the story and demanding answers!
Both said there no excuse for NBC. No excuse not naming the people involved.
Miller pointed out that they had not apologized to Zimmerman, had not really admitted their guilt, and have not reported anything to their audience, but simply published a news release to others that was very vague.
Kristin joined in and said that the standard was not just irresponsible, but.... (Don't remember all of the adj she used) but pointed out the entire breakdown of news vetting. How others had picked up the story and repeated without verifying it.
They both said that the network was not responding with answers that everyone. including other media services, were asking.
