Has 60 Minutes Been Caught Again?

A couple of University of Alabama professors think so. They accuse 60 Minutes, and lead reporter Ed Bradley, off "sloppiness" and including "numerous errors and misleading information" in their report.

Impact quote:

In the wake of "Memogate", "60 Minutes" has done it again. Sunday’s report on the killing of Emmett Till was an example of slipshod and misleading journalism. The producers have few excuses in this case. They did it with their eyes open. They were warned not just once but several times that their forthcoming report might contain inaccuracies. In a rush to air the story, however, they plowed ahead, instead of following the first rule of journalism: getting their facts straight.


Sound familiar?
