CBS Gets Some Leads for New Show About 'False Stories, Conspiracy Theories and Bad Facts'

Twitchy

The timing of this story on rooting out "bad facts" is quite fortuitous because it comes on the same day former CBS News investigative reporter Catherine Herridge and others are testifying on Capitol Hill:

Right on cue is a report about a new CBS News venture that will focus on "bad facts," misinformation and conspiracy theories (you know how many of those have ended up being true these past few years): 

A former CNN producer now at CBS News will handle the show rooting out "bad facts" (the irony no doubt escapes them): 

Two programs already in place are set for expansion. “America Decides,” a weekday look at Washington news and politics, will expand to an hour from 30 minutes on April 22. John Dickerson’s early-evening “Primetime” newscast will expand to 90 minutes from an hour in weeks to come, and the show will be renamed “The Daily Report With John Dickerson.”

A new show focused on disinformation, “CBS News Confirmed,” will debut this summer. CBS News earlier on Tuesday said it had hired Melissa Mahtani, who had previously been a producer at CNN, as executive producer of a new “Confirmed” unit that seeks to identify and fight the spread of false stories, conspiracy theories and bad facts.

In the name of "journalism," CBS News is already getting some leads for what the new show should focus on: 

Maybe CBS News should start with a history of "fake news" and report on why they had to fire Dan Rather.

We wouldn't put it past them to do something like that.

Will CBS News report about methods "disinformation" is spread, such as by media outlets running with claims from the Gaza Health Ministry (Hamas) as factual information

"Information unhelpful to the Democrats" is what that usually translates to.

As usual, "bad facts" will often be realities that don't line up with what they want people to think.
