CBS has axed four producers over the "memogate" scandal which broke right before the Presidential election.
According to a CBS statement, an independent panel appointed by the network concluded that CBS News failed to follow basic journalistic principles in putting together the piece, which aired September 8. That failure was compounded with a "rigid and blind" defense of the report, the statement continued.On a related note, CNN exercises a little schadenfreude.

Is that REAL???
Is that a Photoshop job or an actual screenshot? If it's real that is Awesome.
Posted by: Strider at January 11, 2005 10:40 AMI strongly suspect it is real. These advertising sections are generally filled by a 'bot that tries to match words in the story to key words supplied for each advertisement.Often the result is simply stupid, sometimes it's hilarious. So if they had one CBS advertisement, jobs listing, that's what the bot would pick. You don't expect a bot to have good taste...
