Correspondent Erin Moriarty joined CBS News in 1986 and was the consumer correspondent for CBS "This Morning" and the "Evening News." Since 1990, she has been a correspondent for "48 Hours." Trained as a lawyer, Moriarty has covered a number of major legal issues for CBS News. Below Moriarty talks about why she’d like to see more coverage of the Sudan, why she’d like to see less of the “mob mentality” in journalism and shares a story that you likely don't know about the Oklahoma City bombing.

What do you do at CBS News?

I am a CBS News correspondent assigned to the magazine program “48 Hours,” but I also report regularly for “Sunday Morning.”

What single issue should be covered more at CBS News?

I would like to see more coverage of the genocide that continues in the Sudan and the conditions and conflicts that cause it. The current food and supply crisis has gotten little attention. I have tremendous guilt as a reporter when I am allowed to devote an hour to a single murder trial in the U.S. and very little time is spent by network television covering the deaths of thousands outside this country.

Give us a great behind the scenes story.

Few people know that after the horrific bombing of the Murrow Building in Oklahoma City, there was a bomb threat called into one of the hospitals caring for people injured in the blast. The entire hospital was evacuated, except the floor with critically injured children. Because moving the children could kill them, hospital officials made a controversial decision: bring in bomb sniffing dogs to see if they could determine whether the threat was real or not. It was a very tense time; after all, 163 people had just been killed hours earlier by a bomb. The doctors and nurses continued caring for the children as the dogs did their work. (We stayed too for what was a very dramatic story).

Except for a few nurses quietly crying, there was no sound. Suddenly, an attractive blonde female doctor in her early forties piped up. “So they were right!” she said. We all turned to look at her and wondered, right about what? With a smile on her face she said, “They said I had a better chance of getting killed by a terrorist than getting married again. I guess they were right.” We all paused for a moment and then started to laugh. It was exactly what all of us needed. The mood lightened…and as we all know now, the bomb threat was a false alarm. I have often thought about that brave doctor and hoped she did get married again.

Erin Moriarty joined CBS News in 1986 and was the consumer correspondent for CBS "This Morning" and the "Evening News." Since 1990, she has been a correspondent for "48 Hours." Trained as a lawyer, Moriarty has covered a number of major legal issues for CBS News. Most recently, we spoke with Moriarty about coverage of John Mark Karr, who falsely confessed to murdering JonBenet Ramsey. You can read that story here and send in your questions for Erin e-mail us or in comments. She'll respond to our 10 questions and one of yours.

Correspondent Erin Moriarty has been following the JonBenet Ramsey case for almost eight years for CBS News' "48 Hours," and she, along with many critics finds coverage of the story's most recent development to be "out of control," she told me. For the most part, said Moriarty, much of it seems focused on rumors. "It's a feeding frenzy," she said, something that tends to go with territory of a 24-hour news cycle in which information is often reported too quickly.

"There's all this stuff floating around that isn't being fully verified," but is still being reported, said Moriarty, citing recent rumblings about the significance of a plush Christmas bear – an issue that Moriarty says was resolved years ago as having nothing to do with the murder. "That's not what we're supposed to be doing," she said. "48 Hours" may or may not do an hour program on the story soon, she said, but right now she isn't comfortable going on the air with a story about the case, because there aren't any notable developments.
