 '60 Minutes II' column gets readers ticked off Chicago Sun-Times - Find Articles
Wednesday's column reporting on the hiring of Lara Logan as a contributing correspondent for "60 Minutes II" struck a nerve with a lot of readers.
Foremost among those who reacted were officials of CBS News, whose spokeswoman branded the column "irresponsible journalism" and flatly denied British press reports that before she was hired by CBS, Logan had been reprimanded for wearing low-cut tops and skimpy outfits and for "shamelessly flaunting her gender" while covering British and American troops in Afghanistan.
No one, however, disputed that Carol Marin had been dropped as a correspondent for "60 Minutes II" because of budget constraints or that Logan was indeed a former swimwear model who came to be known affectionately in the British tabloids as "34D Lara" for her flirtatious antics.

 Protest 60 Minutes - May 2000
Bob Simon's report on 60 Minutes II (March 27, 2000), "The Killing Zone" about the Israeli occupation of southern Lebanon constitutes one of the most shameless pieces of propaganda broadcast on American network television in recent years.
Naturally, 60 Minutes II fails to mention UN Security Council Resolution 425 which in 1978 ordered Israel to withdraw from Lebanon "forthwith," or any of the other countless UN Security Council resolutions which condemned the Israeli occupation as an illegal aggression and ordered Israel to withdraw.
But, of course, there was no space for this reality on 60 Minutes II, where only Israeli parents grieve, Israeli occupation soldiers are the principal victims of their own brutal occupation of another country and Israeli aggression is merely a quest for peace in a hostile region.

 Cbs 60 Minutes Program On Slave Redemption By Bona Malwal
60 Minutes II turned up no new or convincing evidence of fraud to present to its American viewers: not a single fake slave, not a single fake Arab slave retriever, not a single witness to corroborate Fr.
60 Minutes II has only recycled an old, story published by several other newspapers, written by two correspondents who never went to Southern Sudan to interview slaves, slave retrievers and the community leaders of the enslaved.
The racist attitude conveyed by 60 Minutes II and the original press articles seems to be that CSI, a Christian organization, should stop its slave redemption program and let the people Africa get on with slaving themselves.

 In the Bullpen » ‘60 Minutes II’ Canceled   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-01)
CBS is shutting the door on ‘60 Minutes II’ due to low ratings and claiming it had nothing to do with the episode where they trotted out fake documents and claimed they were “fake but accurate.” That’s a shame.
“60 Minutes” Wednesday has been sinking in the ratings, a decline accelerated by the success of the ABC drama “Lost” in the same time slot.
Sure, CBS didn’t outright cancel the show directly because of the show’s sensational fake news stories, but the drop in ratings can be traced back to the network editorializing the news and using fake documents as evidence.
