Business as Usual? -
CBS
An exploration of corporate greed, this story centers on a
California carpet company that went out of business after faking multi-million
dollar restoration jobs. The story is told by Mark Morze, the CFO, who said
he was motivated by greed and a complacent regulatory system. In the report,
New York Attorney General Eliot Spitzer expresses concern over the lack of
contrition by corporations and those on Wall Street still fighting tightened
regulations.

The Little Engine that Could, Spam - CBS
In his CBS News Sunday Morning essays on emerging technologies, David Pogue
takes complex technological applications such as Google or Spam and makes them
comprehensible to the ordinary, non-technophile viewer. In these segments Pogue
takes viewers inside the workings of Google, exposing its roots, its working
environment, and the ideology of “do no evil” that drives its idealistic
young founders. He also adroitly exposes the complicated issues swirling around
Spam, the junk mail that is clogging the internet, and arousing the ire of
American computer users and of Congress.

Tricks Of The Trade: Auto Sales - NBC
This year-long investigation took viewers into the backrooms of the auto sales
business, focusing on Sonic Automotive, a seven billion dollar, publicly traded
megacorporation with 187 dealerships nationwide. When Dateline uncovered a
pattern of fraud, Sonic claimed these were “isolated cases” involving
a few “rogue” employees. Dateline’s hidden cameras then followed
a young woman with impeccable credit through the process of buying a car from
Sonic’s flagship dealership, literally in the company’s corporate
backyard, and captured the many deceitful “tricks of the trade” she
encountered along the way.

Do No Harm – Sulzer Hip Implants - NBC
Sulzer Orthopedics’ marketing of faulty hip implants led to one of the
most devastating medical device recalls in recent times. In “Do No Harm” Dateline
shows how Sulzer put profits over safety, and caused immeasurable pain and
suffering, by intentionally withholding crucial information from doctors and
patients. Not only did the company continue to sell the hip implants after
they were shown to be faulty, they even “reprocessed” faulty hips
and put them back on the market. To date almost 4,000 implants have been removed
from patients. The story generated an overwhelming public response. One doctor
described Sulzer’s actions as “one of the greatest organized acts
of medical fraud…in the history of American medicine.”

Gimme Shelter - CBS
Corporate tax shelters cost the United States government $50 billion
a year in lost revenue. Giant companies, including the Big Four accounting
firm Ernst and Young, law firms and investment banks have been involved in
selling tax shelter advice to their clients—only to abandon them when
caught by the government. This story revolves around Henry Camferdam who sold
his computer company for $50 million dollars and was shown how to keep from
paying taxes on the big sale even though he was prepared to do so. When, under
pressure from the government, Ernst and Young turned his name over to the IRS,
Camferdam responded by suing them and telling his story on national television.

Follow The Money
- Discovery Times Channel
"
Follow the Money" went behind the scenes of the most expensive election
season in American history to see what it takes to raise the millions
and millions of dollars both major parties use to try to reach the critical
sliver of undecided voters that exists between increasingly divided partisans.
Viewers see a variety of fundraisers at work, including Republican moneyman
Larry Bathgate preparing for an event that brings in nearly $600,000
for the Bush-Cheney campaign, and Joe Trippi's online grassroots effort
for Howard Dean, which brought in an unprecedented amount of "hard" money
in small denominations from mostly new donors.

CNN's Lou Dobbs Tonight
Exporting America - CNN
For over a year, this nightly series has been at the forefront of reporting
on the trend of outsourcing American jobs overseas. Neither the Labor and Commerce
Departments, the Business Roundtable, nor the U.S. Chamber of Commerce have
previously kept records of jobs lost to outsourcing. The Lou Dobbs Tonight
web page was the first source to provide individuals with a list of companies
that move American jobs to cheap overseas labor markets – a list that
now identifies over 1,000 companies. The extensive and detailed reporting in
the “Exporting America” series has sparked strong public interest
and helped to launch a national debate in Congress.
