On Sunday, CNN Reliable Sources host Brian Stelter offered a retrospective on 60 Minutes that was more of a puff piece, conveniently eliding any mention of Dan Rather’s attack on President George W. Bush in 2004 that was based on false documents.
Stelter was interviewing 60 Minutes executive producer Jeff Fager, who has just published a new book titled, Fifty Years of 60 Minutes: The Inside Story of Television’s Most Influential News Broadcast. After noting some of the highilights from the show, Stelter asked Fager, “Were there any low points?” How naive or uninformed does that sound?
