CBS News Public Eye
"When a prominent news personality makes a statement that directly contradicts something that they said in the past, I believe we owe a duty to viewers to point it out," says CBS News reporter
Randall Pinkston. "This is especially true on matters of public policy. Unless contradictions are reported, repeated misstatements can become accepted as facts and the officials who propagate those falsehoods are free to make ill-founded decisions without fear of complaint from the electorate."
