I'm surprised at the firings, truth be told. If the same interviews ran in the Enquirer, nobody would have batted an eye.

True, but the Enquirer doesn't pretend to be a real news source. I've never seen the senior editor of a tabloid appearing on the front cover swearing that the "bat boy" is real.
It's not that they should be held to a higher standard, but CBS didn't even meet the minimal standards for ethical journalism. Hell, they didn't even try.
