Heroin in Ohio, plagiarism in 60 Minutes

When I was a youngish adult, I looked forward to watching 60 Minutes every week, but over time the reporting became more and more shallow, and in a couple of instances, quite biased. That’s when I stopped watching it. Nevertheless, it saddens me to see how far this once favourite show has sunk.

The link below leads to a blog post by Sam Quinones, an old-school investigative journalist whose work on the epidemic of heroin in Ohio formed the unacknowledged basis for the 60 Minutes show on the same issue.

My thanks to DV Berkom for posting about this. If you’re as shocked angry disappointed as I was, please share the link with your followers.

cheers
