-Typical for tabloid TV shows, ''Rock Bottom'' spins its stories for maximum shock value. Whether the stories present the truth is generally deemed irrelevent by the show's producers. However, the show has a history of being caught out and thus forced to air retractions.

 Jones interviewed Homer, but the interview was heavily and blatantly edited to make Homer look like more of a pervert and to convey the impression that Homer physically attacked Jones. The show aired Homer's story under the title "Babysitter and the Beast", and Homer was utterly shocked and devastated by the show's portrayal of him. Reaction in the community was swift: People were more convinced than ever of Homer's guilt and the media circus intensified.
-Homer was exonerated (and ''Rock Bottom'' was caught out), however, when [[Groundskeeper Willie]] came forward with a video he had made that clearly showed Homer grabbing the Gummi Venus rather than Ashley's behind. After this evidence surfaced, the show was forced to run a [[Homer Badman/References|long list of corrections]], including a retraction of its accusations against Homer.

 Other stories aired by ''Rock Bottom'' include the following:
 *A report on Sasquatch (which Homer considered to be "fair and even-handed").
-*A "sex farm" where the farmer initially claims to be only growing sorghum, but is quickly and easily manipulated into revealing that the hookers are "'round back".
+*A "sex farm" where the farmer initially claims to be only growing sorghum, but is quickly and easily manipulated into revealing that the hookers are "round back".
 *A "foreigner" (Groundskeeper Willie) who takes voyeuristic and perverted videos of unsuspecting people (aired under the title "Rowdy Roddy Peeper"). ''Rock Bottom'' aired the story immediately after withdrawing its claim that Homer had sexually harassed Ashley. This story met with Homer's enthusiastic approval, ironically as Willie's habit of videoing people had played a key role in proving Homer's innocence.
