This time, it's to Kevin Federline, a
26-year-old dancer who met Britney
while his girlfriend was still pregnant
with their second child.

Some competitors have accused CBS
for stretching the limits of journalistic
ethics to produce a bad story about
President Bush.
CBS didn't have ill intent, it just
tried to be the first to break the story,
instead of the first to get the story
right, and now its credibility is in ques-

shoddy work of a reporter or anchor, it
must do whatever is necessary to cor-
rect the mistake.

When the news is too scary or unreli-
able to deal with, those who don't
view sports or poker tourna-

reality shows where contest-
ants vie for a billionaire's
acceptance, swap mates, get
married to strangers or eat
horse innards for
money.
