Another Whopper Lie from CBS News

The latest story from CBS is one in which the dishonesty is on par with Dan Rather's forged document story. Earlier this week on CBS News, Gloria Borger presented a story about the GOP plans to pursue the "nuclear option" (read: constitutional option) and interviewed Ken Starr in a 20-minute sit down conversation. Ken Starr, Dean of Pepperdine Law School, was once an enemy of the left for prosecuting Bill Clinton in the Whitewater investigation. But after the CBS report this week, he has been praised by the many in the MSM and liberals for "speaking the truth about not wanting to end judicial filibusters."

Borger's interview (go to this CBS page for the video link) played a snippet in which Starr said that eliminating the judicial filibuster that Democrats have been using to block judges would be a "radical, radical departure from our history and our traditions..."

It is a complete lie...

At least Starr has Rush and the internet to get out the word of CBS's lie.

The catch phrase of the Dimbulbs is not "The Rule of Law - but Rather's":

"The Rule of Lies!"

What a difference a day makes. The libs will now return to dissing Starr.

[Lazamataz]

It is a complete lie. Ken Starr wrote an email today to Rush Limbaugh in which Starr said that he was very clear in talking to Gloria Borger about judicial philosophy - NOT ending the filibuster.

CBS has now officially become a Disinformation Bureau.

This should be all that is needed for conservatives to NEVER go on any of their programs, NEVER give them interviews, etc. Let CBS function like the tiny left megaphone for the Democrats they are.

Rush spoke about this yesterday and also about Harry Reid of Nevada and Newt Gingrinch.

Republican drive to beat Reid in Nevada....he joins the Dascle Retirement Club...

Since the Old Media has seen fit to air a hit piece on another network (ABC vs Fox-Idol), it wouldn't surprise me to see Mr. Murdock do his own hit piecs on "CBS Forged Documents and Forged Quotes".

Let's hope so!

CBS has now officially become a Disinformation Bureau.

And that's something new?

I just watched that video. Knowing now Ken Starr's actual remarks, the dishonesty of the video is breathtaking. This is worthy of the Nazi Gestapo or the USSR "Ministry of Truth". Unbelievable.

[RetiredArmy]

Like someone believes that SeeB.S. would actually tell the truth? Surely you jest?

[Ditter]

I heard Rush talking about this, it is UNbelievable!! The media will never learn.
