Can Faux and Matt PUDGE Live Up to CBS Panel Recommendations?

[UTUSN]

Somebody asked O'REILLY once whether Faux had an ombudsman. He went, like, "Pfffft.... maybe in some closet in the basement somewhere..." (paraphrasing). It was quite clear that he regarded the premise of HAVING one as...RIDICULOUS!

.... The panel made a number of recommendations for changes, including:

Appoint a senior Standards and Practices Executive, reporting directly to the President of CBS News, who would review all investigative reporting, use of confidential sources and authentication of documents. Personnel should feel comfortable going to this person confidentially and without fear of reprisal, with questions or concerns about particular reports.

Foster an atmosphere in which competitive pressure is not allowed to prompt airing of reports before all investigation and vetting is done.

Allow senior management to know the names of confidential sources as well as all relevant background about the person needed to make news judgments.

Appoint a separate team, led by someone not involved in the original reporting, to look into any news report that is challenged.
