Media Literacy 101: WBBM (CBS) Criminalize 4-Year-old Child



(Maynard Institute):
 
CBS Television Station WBBM in Chicago is being criticized for airing a misleading the video of a 4-year old boy saying he wanted a gun. The boy made the comment, after being asked loaded questions by a freelance photographer, because he wanted to be a police officer.
 
The Society of Professional Journalists says the decision to edit the video "reveals a lack of understanding of the very basic tenets of journalism."
