No mention of CBS?
I'm surprised no one mentioned the woes of CBS getting caught in a big fat scandal over falsified documents relating to President Bush's military record.
So now, it has been mentioned. Rather and Kerry are probably political toast. It's not the only trouble CBS is in lately, the FCC just fined 20 CBS stations a total of $550,000.00 for Janet Jackson's Superbowl breast show. It's the largest fine recorded. Just peanuts for the broadcaster, but it's the thought that counts. I am actually surprised FCC imposed the fine, apparently there were large numbers of complaints filed regarding the incident.

i know Rightie Radio is over the moon about it, but they're preaching to the choir, anyway. it's just not a relevant issue, like the Swift Boat Vet thing...it doesn't resonate, and in terms of the election, no reason it should. |

CBS = Liberal Bias Media, always has been. So I really don't think anyone can be surprised CBS was caught making up stories about a Republican. Thats what they do. Remember the smear campaign CBS wanted to air about the Reagans?
To quote WND What CBS is doing is truly Orwellian, exactly what the Ministry of Truth was designed to do in Orwell's "1984" – rewrite history to deceive and propagandize those who had no other source of truth. One of the differences between Americans and our communist and Nazis enemies was said to be that we stood for truth, and that they denied and twisted truth, and lied deliberately, for their own ideological ends. Is this not exactly what Hollywood and CBS are doing with "The Reagans"?

I've had to watch CBS for years because I don't get the other networks in my rural valley and I've thought for a long time that Rather was some kind of psycho-creep. He's always been really brazen in slanting the news to suit himself and it's a wonder he hasn't been ostracized by more people. I certainly wouldn't give him the time of day.
Still I have doubts that they'll can him. |

I don't know whether "Kerry in Paris" is going to though; the media isn't biting. |

i didn't say the Kerry thing didn't resonate - i said it wasn't relevant. the interesting thing about the CBS flap is that the President was very careful not to deny the accounts in the questionable documents. in fact, there seems to be general agreement that, while the documents may be suspect, the accounts of preferential treatment et al are basically accurate - even from the White House: Quote:
the document authenticity flap has obscured what seems to be an otherwise accurate story, no? |

I seldom have the bandwidth to chase links. The CBS story that this thread's about is the falsified documents that indicated Bush disobeyed direct orders.
Sorry you're confused but heck I thought you'd have gotten used to it by now. |
