I went to the CBS News site following a link to some story. The article on Rush Limbaugh's arrest for prescription fraud immediately caught my eye having absolutely no doubt that this was a late breaking story, had me thinking that he wasn't going to get off as easy as he did the first time. Of course it was the latest breaking news. This is CBS with the largest, most extensive in-depth global news reporting resources, capabilities in the history of news reporting. So now Rush was in real trouble.

To tell you that I was more than a little annoyed that it turned out to be the original story, dated March 5, 2009, over three years old, would have been an understatement. I was livid, incredibly angry that they would have no qualms about keeping such an obviously partisan news story alive and up front so shamelessly without the slightest consideration of journalistic ethics to speak of. If Dan Rather was still at CBS such lapses of journalistic ethics and fair play would never have been allowed to be compromised.

Forget it, Jake. It’s CBS.

They will never stop. They are utterly biased, this Marxist Media, and they are proud of their bias.

[Texas Eagle]

That happened only 3 years ago? That doesn’t sound right.

If Dan Rather was still at CBS such lapses of journalistic ethics and fair play would never have been allowed to be compromised.

"Now that's funny, I don't care who you are!"

Never knew was arrested. And the drug issue was more than three years ago.

And you wonder WHY obama had to pander to the mostly-gay Major Media, right now???

[gorush]

In retrospect, you should have known it was the original story. If it were new it would have been at the top of the page in the biggest type that would fit.

That's CBS on Facebook. Not sure how that works but it is probably some leftist keeping the story "bumped to the top" there much as we do here. CBS just picks up whatever is on FB.

I could be wrong.

This tells me only one thing: The Leftists are utterly desperate...for anything.

This says more about them...and their fears, than it does about us.

[OldPossum]

And why would you want to give that excuse for journalism a hit on their site? I never go to such sites.

[CrazyIvan]

And, of course, the picture is an old one from when he was portly.

[BradyLS]

The silver lining here is that a three year old article that is still on the front page of a major news organization means nobody really reads the dang thing.

[RickGee]

Other news sites do this. When I read a story on my local news web site, it will bring up other headlines. I have clicked on interesting ones, assuming that it is a new story. But, it is simply a sensational story from months or years ago... They’ve got to get you to click on something.....
