Senate Chaplain Barry Black and CBS Whipsaw Reporting
A specific instance of "whipsaw" reporting on CBS News involves correspondent Nancy Cordes claiming that Senate Chaplain Barry Black "hailed" Jeff Flake's courage. Upon review of the actual clip, the chaplain’s prayer for "patriots who will stand for right" is found to contain no specific mention or endorsement of Senator Flake, despite the reporter's framing.
