Controversies
Quixtar
In 2004, Dateline NBC aired a report, alleging that some high-level Quixtar Independent Business Operators (IBOs) make most of their money from selling motivational materials, rather than Quixtar products, and make unrealistic claims about potential income. "MMIV" redirects here For the Modest Mouse album see " Baron von Bullshit Rides Again " [1] Quixtar declined to respond on camera, instead publishing an official Quixtar Response website. Quixtar is a Multi-level marketing (MLM or Network marketing company founded on September 1, 1999 in Ada Michigan [2] Quixtar states on its response site that Dateline declined their request to link to the site. Another response page can be found at [1]
General Motors
Dateline NBC aired an investigative report about General Motors pickup trucks allegedly exploding upon impact during accidents due to poor design of fuel tanks. General Motors Corporation ( GM) ( is a multinational automobile manufacturer founded in 1908 and headquartered in the United States. A pickup truck is a light Motor vehicle with an open-top rear cargo area which is almost always separated from the cab to allow for chassis flex when carrying or pulling Although there were fuel tank design problems with GM cars before, Dateline's film showed a sample of a low speed accident with the fuel tank exploding. In reality, Dateline NBC producers had rigged the truck with remotely detonated explosives. The program did not disclose the fact that the accident was staged. GM investigators studied the film, and discovered that smoke actually came out of the fuel tank a split-second before impact. GM subsequently filed an anti-defamation lawsuit against NBC after conducting an extensive investigation. On February 18, 1993 GM conducted a highly publicized (view broadcast in 1993 section of GM 1990s history) point-by-point rebuttal that lasted nearly two hours after announcing the lawsuit. The lawsuit was quickly settled by NBC, and Jane Pauley read an apology on the program.
The following Dateline NBC producers were dismissed: Jeff Diamond, executive producer; David Rummel, senior producer; and Robert Read, producer of the report on the pickups. Michele Gillen, the reporter involved in the segment, was transferred to Miami station WTVJ. WTVJ, channel 6 is the NBC owned-and-operated Television station for South Florida, licensed to Miami. Michael G. Gartner, president of the news division, resigned under pressure.
Trapping story targets
Dateline NBC soon returned to the controversy spotlight via a May 4, 1993 piece titled "Cataract Cowboys" in which Brian Ross claimed that doctors unnecessarily performed surgery on elderly patients. Events 1256 - The Augustinian monastic order is constituted at the Lecceto Monastery when Pope Alexander IV Year 1993 ( MCMXCIII) was a Common year starting on Friday (link will display full 1993 Gregorian calendar) Brian Elliot Ross (born October 23, 1948) is an American investigative correspondent for ABC News. The controversy brought into question techniques used such as disregarding evidence that contradicts a story's claim and using planted accomplices to entrap targets of the story. The Southeastern Eye Center attempted to sue NBC over the story, but later dropped the suit altogether.
St. Louis Helicopter Hijack Attempt
On August 11, 2004, two Dateline NBC employees posing as terrorists entered St. Louis Downtown Airport and attempted to gain access to a helicopter and pilot. Events 2492 BC - Traditional date of the defeat of Bel by Hayk, progenitor and founder of the Armenian nation "MMIV" redirects here For the Modest Mouse album see " Baron von Bullshit Rides Again " St Louis Downtown Airport is a public-use Airport located in the St They attempted to pay for a flight using cash and presented out-of-state driver licenses. The airport personnel suspected foul play and contacted the FBI and local authorities, who responded to the scene and detained the NBC crew. Searches of the NBC crew's rental car revealed an assortment of hijacking tools including box-cutters of the type used in the September 11, 2001 attacks and audio tapes of conversations with the airport employees. After being taken into custody, the NBC crew revealed their identities and told investigators that Dateline NBC was planning a story highlighting failures in general aviation airport security and the threat posed by private aircraft as a vector for terrorist attack. General aviation (abbr GA) is one of two categories of Civil aviation. Airport security refers to the techniques and methods used in protecting Airports and Aircraft from Crime. The NBC crew were subsequently released with no charges filed against them. Dateline NBC killed the story and it was never aired. It is very difficult to find any information on this incident outside of aviation news media. [3] [4]
To Catch a Predator
The "To Catch a Predator" Dateline series hosted by Chris Hansen has been accused of making news rather than reporting news, blurring the line between being a news organization vs. To Catch a Predator is a Reality television show that features a series of Hidden camera investigations by the television newsmagazine Dateline Christopher Edward "Chris" Hansen (born March 26 1959) is an American television personality best known for his work on the Dateline an agency of law enforcement[5], and having its host impersonating a police officer [6].

After being confronted by Hansen, the men are arrested by local police.
In February 2007, a man who was featured on "To Catch a Predator" committed suicide when TV crews surrounded his home as police arrived to arrest him[7].
DEFCON
During the 15th DEFCON hacker conference, Dateline producer Michelle Madigan failed to register as a reporter and used a hidden camera to covertly film attendees, apparently intending to catch hackers admitting to crimes[8]. DEF CON (also written as DEFCON or Defcon) is the world's largest annual Hacker convention held every year in Las Vegas Nevada. On four occasions, DEFCON staff asked her if she wanted to obtain press credentials, but she declined. On August 3, 2007, DEFCON founder Jeff Moss publicly outed Madigan during the "Spot the Reporter" contest, and Madigan ran from the room with several attendees trailing her, taking pictures and video [9].
