60 Minutes' scandal in Iran
Watching The Insider (1999) for the first time, reminded me of a strong rumor that the same CBS show, 60 Minutes, had pulled off a show about Iran's former president, Hashemi Rafsanjani, and his family's wealth and business activities which is widely seen inside Iran as result of vast corruption, especially in the oil industry.
I don't remember anyone in the States was aware of that and might've investigated it at the time. But these sort of things will never be too late.
