It seems some people are up in arms that 60 Minutes II
was one of this years George Foster Peabody Award winners, a show that
was recently under lots of scrutiny over a story based on falsified
documents. Though the award wasn't for the bogus story, the same
producer (who was later fired from CBS) was involved. The Daily Show won its second Peabody for its election coverage last year, while HBO won three awards including one for Deadwood.
