60 Minutes caught faking car noise on their report on the electric Tesla.


 "The latest example came a week ago today when CBS' 60 Minutes aired a report on Tesla and its amazing electric car. It was basically the kind of coverage that any automaker would kill to have (and must have left flummoxed General Motors executives wondering why they never got it for the plug-in Chevrolet Volt).
Just one problem: As the Associated Press reported, a CBS editor made what is being called an "audio error" in dubbing the sound of a loud traditional car engineover footage of the much quieter Tesla electric car. The Model is whisper quiet, no matter how hard you push it.
Auto website Jalopnik broke the story of the fake sound and CBS was in retreat all week."

  1. This, that same 60 Minutes et al that brought us: the fake Benghazi interview, the faked exploding Chevrolet gas tank, the faked Jeep rollover, the faked exploding truck wheel, the faked Audi 5000 acceleration, what a whore house.
