This has to hurt, especially WNBC has such a good reputation. Can you say "ratings nosedive?"

Something like that happened in KCBS and Nancy Bauer Gonzales was very pissed about that. We have to see what will happen to Foreman and the Channel 4 producer who did this story.

Well I wouldn't exactly call it a ratherism here. And he supposedly got the list from 2 separate sources. It happens all the time. If you look at the list that was reported, that should've been the list that was in the Mitchell Report. So much was omitted form the poorly done Mitchell Report it makes you wonder if there weren't more names on that list that were later amended. Maybe these sources had copies of earlier drafts.

This is what happens when you rush to be first and don't check all your facts. Let's just hope that the appropriate actions are taken in this.

Probably not. News people usually don't like report on their own. It's a mutual agrreement they have. If they or their family become the story, they will keep it low-key. Usually less than one news cycle.
