The network, make an apology to Zach. Then, hold a crash course in, uh... "New York City culture" to ensure that no future food journalists are clueless as to the meaning of Halal. WTF?!

The only difference is (besides the telecast-vs-blog) Zach described the issue and had the details down cold (natch!), while the CBS idiots confused things and basically missed the point.
