Back in 1995, General Motors sued NBC after the "Dateline NBC" program rigged two car-truck crashes with incendiary devices to show that GM pickups were prone to fires in side-impact crashes. 

 

Even after being forced into a settlement with GM in their slam-dunk defamation case, NBC would only admit their deception was a "bad idea."

It seems that being too arrogant to accept fault and apologize has always been a trait of leftist media companies.
