CBS News Deletes
Two Iraq War Articles from Its Website
|
>>> While perusing the CBS News Website, I found something odd--two pages in which the article text had been stripped out and replaced with the messages, "This story has been deleted," and simply, "Deleted." Very strange. If the stories had factual errors, why not just correct them? If the entire story was in error (i.e., the events described never happened), why not add a mea culpa at the top of each page? And you would think that if this were the case, CBS would've taken down the whole page. My email to the administrator of the CBS News Website has gone unanswered. If you'd like to try to get an explanation, click on "Feedback" at the bottom of the homepage. |

It appears that this story from 22 March 2003 was about a public opinion poll conducted by CBS. Why delete it? |

Based on the photographs, captions, and URL, this story was about an attack on a location in Iraq, probably the Baghdad market that was hit by an air strike on 26 March 2003, killing 15 civilians and wounding 30. Again, what would cause the entire story to be scrubbed? |
