Harry Houdini 0 Posted December 14, 2007 Share Posted December 14, 2007 Seems like WNBC pulled a page out of the CBS play-book with a bogus steroid story. Someone might take it in the pants for this latest Ratherism. http://www.thesmokinggun.com/archive/years/2007/1214071wnbc1.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rtmclaug 51 Posted December 14, 2007 Share Posted December 14, 2007 This has to hurt, especially WNBC has such a good reputation. Can you say "ratings nosedive?" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amra 130 Posted December 14, 2007 Share Posted December 14, 2007 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.

WABC and WCBS have both done it and now its WNBC's turn, lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NYnewsFan 0 Posted December 17, 2007 Share Posted December 17, 2007 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.

Harry Houdini 0 Posted December 17, 2007 Author Share Posted December 17, 2007 The keyword is "supposedly". Dan "I Have My Angenda" Rather was only using one source. Another flake with his own agenda. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rtmclaug 51 Posted December 19, 2007 Share Posted December 19, 2007 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harry Houdini 0 Posted December 19, 2007 Author Share Posted December 19, 2007 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
