Wow. My impression from seeing him on TV is Eric Burns is a liberal, but good for him having the integrity to write this!

Clarke’s book was published by Free Press.

I am shocked and outraged to learn that Free Republic published Clarke's book, which so unfairly attacks President Bush.

I thought that Free Republic was supposed to be a forum for conservatives and their causes, and it is simply wrong and unacceptable that . . .

What? Free Republic didn't publish the book? It was Free Press? Never mind.

she has done a disservice to her own reputation.

Not really, she has a reputation of being a liberal biased partisan who lacks ethics.

Yes... but: now she has a reputation as a shockingly INEPT biased, liberal, partisan hack lacking even rudimentary ethics. :)

Actually, I truly believe CBS would rather trash Bush than sell books.

Oh please. Dan, Tom, Petah, Katie and Diane won't say a word about it, so the Sheep will never know.

... she (Stahl) has done a disservice to her own reputation.

Really ... what reputation? Anyone who has watched Stahl, if only from time to time, over the years knows she has expressed (or shown) disdain for Reagan, Bush, & Bush II on numerous occasions. She's a lib with an agenda and a forum in which to express her bias.

This isn't a good year for CBS.

I have lost count of the "black eyes" they have inflicted upon themselves to support liberalism.

Now they waste a whole "60 Minutes" program only to have the rug pulled out from under them when the truth emerges about Richard Clarke.

Their credibility, if not entirely gone, is stretched paper-thin.

60 minutes needs to be investigated. It looks like a hack job from a supposedly "objective" news magazine.

Problem is the lemmings will once again flock to 60 minutes the next time they do an anti-Bush hit piece.

People will never learn.

I quit watching them a long time ago>
I am living longer because of it.
How do I know? I would have been dead by now, from throwing something at the TV with Lt Dan on the 6 o'clock NEWS.
That something would have shorted out the TV and it would have bounced back and hit me and electrocuted me to DEATH! ! ! ! ! !

"What Stahl did not do was tell her audience that..."

...Clarke blamed Clinton and praised Bush just 2 years ago.

60 Minutes didn't even try to find the other side of this story.

<< She has .... not [Only] done a disservice to viewers; she has done a disservice to her own reputation. >>

Really?

How could her actions and activities be seen to do that?

Given her reputation as a veracity, integrity, morality and intellect-challenged pagan/pantheist left-wing lunatic "liberal" lickspittle?


A veracity, integrity, morality and intellect-challenged pagan/pantheist left-wing lunatic "liberal" lickspittle coming into Sunday evening's 'a few minutes short of the full hour' infomational -- and a veracity, integrity, morality and intellect-challenged pagan/pantheist left-wing lunatic "liberal" lickspittle going out!

Reputation intact. Quod erat demonstrandum!

She was a Kennedy campaign worker when she was young (which was a long time ago). And if you have ever seen her on a talk show without a script as I have, it is almost shocking how vapid and downright ditzy she is. Complete airhead.

Do you, or any of you honestly believe that the mainstream media will report any of this, or the fact that Clarke has been outed on a tape saying just the opposite of what he says in the book and in his testimony?

I have listened all day to see if any of the other news reports commented on this find, and so far, zilch, zip, zero reports!
