Mugshots: 50 men were arrested after the latest installment of the "Dateline" report .... We want to warn you some of what you'll read is explicit. parents need to know what their kids can confront when they sit down at the computer. SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA - A month ago, Dateline launched its third investigation into a growing national epidemic—grown men trolling the Internet, many looking for sex with children. This time, to expose them, we set up multiple hidden cameras in a house in Southern California. A decoy coaxes the men in, but instead of finding a 12- or 13-year-old home...

Hank Hanegraff: I want to draw your attention to “Dateline NBC: The Birth of Jesus,” a special that ran this past Friday, almost a carbon-copy of Peter Jennings’ “The Search For Jesus.” In this particular special what’s called into question is the biblical account of the virgin birth, the idea that Jesus was actually born in Bethlehem , and they note that the Gospels are really contradictory in nature. So far from being complimentary, one with another, they’re contradictory. The one thing that they drive at over and over again is this idea that Luke is not a credible historian,...

Abrams asks why men looking for underage sex were allowed to walk free. TRANSCRIPT - During "Dateline NBC's" recent hidden camera investigation, 19 were caught going to a suburban home where they thought they'd be meeting with sexually available teens. Some made a run for it when they went into the kitchen and saw NBC's Chris Hansen waiting. One came into the house completely naked and sat down in the kitchen, where Hansen met him and kindly handed him a towel to cover himself up. A rabbi was so upset at being caught that he even seemingly went after Hansen....

Tom Brokaw has been one of the great TV journalists, a man of intelligence, diligence and wit.

NBC News edited out a comment by Sen. John Kerry about his military records not being public after including it in a previous version of an interview. A transcript of the version of the interview that appeared on "Dateline," however, does not include the reference to Kerry's records being secret. The senator's response to the question in the edited broadcast is: "That's great. More power. I don't know how they've done it."

<p>Many readers have written us, expressing outrage that when NBC's Dateline rebroadcast Tom Brokaw's interview with John Kerry, which was previously shown on MSNBC, Kerry's admission that not all of his military records have been released was edited out. Other bloggers are accusing NBC of covering up Kerry's admission that he has repeatedly lied about making all of his records public.</p>

NBC Nightly News is airing an interview with President Bush that Tom Brokaw did recently. Bush actually called "old brokjaw" a Monday Morning Quarterback when Brokaw asked him if he would do everything the same in regards to Iraq! Bush was awesome!!!! Will be airing more of the interview on Dateline... (Mom, I promise the tv was still on NBC from the Nascar race...I didn't deliberately watch NBC News)

...CBS has dismissed calls for an internal investigation into its reporting of the story, arguing that it was thoroughly reviewed before broadcast. "I'm confident in the process of vetting that got the story on air. When we say we continue to report the story you can be sure we're being conscientious in responding to these allegations," says CBS News President Andrew Heyward. CBS may offer further evidence in support of its story as early as today. The stakes are high for "60 Minutes," the undisputed gold standard in television news.... Its longtime producer, Don Hewitt, 81, has retired unenthusiastically, and...

I just got done watching the Dateline interview with George Bush and Tom Brokaw and I was impressed, even by my already high opinion of George Bush, on how well he did. What impressed me most was the fact he corrected Brokaw and in my opinion led the interview instead of being led himself. His answers were full of self-confidance I havent seen in him in awhile and his demeanor was of absolute control. My only grudge with Bush is the same one I have always had on his answers. Stop and think for a few seconds before answering, thoughtful...

Dateline NBC just now running an hour long special, asking "how did Jesus really die". Is anyone watching this? It's an outrageous "hit piece", portraying Jesus as nothing more than a controversial, politically motivated "Jewish preacher" trying to challenge the rule of the day. One "biblical scholar" actually just equated Jesus' statements about "tearing down this temple" to a Terrorist threat!! Apparently failing to stop Mel Gibson's "The Passion of the Christ" movie, the liberal elite are now trying to change the story itself. (Not that any outside of the far left will buy into the attempt). NBC (aka "the...

A Few Wrinkles in Shriver's Marriage to NBC NewsBy Jim RutenbergOctober 8, 2003 New York Times  http://www.nytimes.com/2003/10/08/national/08SHRI.html?ex=1066190400&en=5281fed95d433bc2&ei=5062&partner=GOOGLEWASHINGTON, Oct. 7 — Maria Shriver, who has at times acted as a shock absorber for her husband, Arnold Schwarzenegger, in his campaign for governor, plans to return to her job as a correspondent and occasional anchor at "Dateline NBC." But NBC News officials said on Tuesday that they had not decided what journalistic duties she would take on. And some people at NBC News and at other networks questioned whether Ms. Shriver's role as a disinterested journalist had been compromised, at least for...

So, as the title implies, did any Freepers out there see last night's Dateline special? I only caught a few segments of it, but from what I could see, it was very interesting on more than one level. For one thing, it documents rather clearly not only the extent to which the Saudis have been protecting terrorists, but further, and more importantly, the extent to which our own government has been whitewashing them. On one of the leads they were tracking, the reporter went to Saudi Arabia to interview a man who was on Washington's list as a financial supporter...
