How far back does this sort of outright fabrications in journalism go? IMO, it really started to take root and increase around the early to mid 1990's such as the Oklahoma bombings. Since those initial inconsistencies between local reported facts vs. very different stories spun through national reporting of the incident we have slipped off a cliff. Before the Oklahoma inconsistencies incident, CNN had been caught green/blue screening backdrops, using props and claiming they were reporting in the field when in fact they were in a studio and faking the story... those scud missile attacks over in Iraq. Anyone recall the two journalist hunkered down fearing death from scuds? Completely phony and done in a CNN studio. http://www.staticmediahub.com/2014/09/25...le-attack/ This is just one example of many.
The number of these incidents aren't even countable anymore. One lie after another.
