They'd done a smear job on MOMA, believe it or not. Said the Metropolitan Museum of Modern Art had not done due diligence when buying a painting, at auction, which 60 minutes "proved" was a forgery.

The problem was, PBS also did a report on the painting, in depth and thorough, proving the painting to be authentic beyond any reasonable doubt. 60 Minutes never responded, nor did the boobs running 60 Minutes ever apologize to the curator of the museum, whose reputation they had dragged unfairly through the mud.

It will be interesting to see whether anyone at 60 Minutes now feels compelled to step forward and admit they screwed up -- and maybe fire the parties responsible for going with this lying s.o.b.s story when just a little bit of due diligence (!!) would have raised questions about his honesty.
