That's an outrageous statement. CBS did not intend to do anything falsely. Nor did they believe that the documents were false. You cannot supply any evidence of it.

LOL. Perhaps you think all the people at SeeBS involved in this story are complete morons and incompetents and had no way of knowing the docs were forgeries because they hadn't the intellectual capacity to see what was obvious to the rest of the world at first glance. That's pretty much the argument you'd have to make for your defense to hold water for even an instant.

It's like if you were charged with driving the getaway car at a bank robbery and tried to defend yourself with "when they asked me to pull up and stop in front of the bank and wait with the engine running, I thought they just needed to run to the ATM and when they came running out with stockings over their heads, guns in their hands and carrying bags of money, they said that's how banks work, so I just drove away with them. I really didn't know why the police were chasing us. After all, my IQ is 60."

The fact is that the people at that network, however biased, are far from incompetent boobs. They are well trained at sniffing out scam artists - that what 60-minutes is famous for. To not know the docs were forgeries, they had to choose not to know. They had to turn a blind eye to the scam developing around them. Even if they didn't conspire in their creation, they knew. Bet your house payment on it. And they are as culpable as the forger himself.
