Yeah right! CBS is part of the communists network of the MSM. Remains to be seen if they decide to print the truth.

Watch the site closely for distance spin in which Obama and/or Holder try to distance themselves publicly from their underlings.

I dunno.

If I were going to semi-trust ANY of the Big Three network news outlets, it would be CBS.

The ABC and NBC networks are owned by crony capitalists of the worst kind and they are WAY too invested in Obama.

Will it be actual news? My guess is that the facts will be omitted, the timeline will lag 2-3 weeks behind the actual developing story, and every effort will be made to: a) whitewash the communists, and; b) paint Issa as an angry racist.

They will dedicate a page to obfuscating, defusing a dangerous situation for their beloved Obama administration.

Just as they knew all about John Edwards’ philandering and love child, they would not dare report it.

Do not expect anything there but a solid defense for Holder and Obama at every turn.

If there isn’t a tip line posted or a link to report racist activity on behalf of law enforcement, I’ll be shocked.

Lenhart’s Law of News Reporting:

“The amount of truth reported in any given article will be directly proportionate to the likelihood of the Democrat mentioned losing a coming election.”

I figured it would be a little teeny tiny web page, as you would get if you wanted to list Islamic technical advances, but it was actually quite large.

The ATF noticed an increase in gun purchases. The ATF was practically backing up the truck helping the gun runners load the weapons.

I tend to agree.

Here’s an idea. What if CBS is tracking the skunk in the woodpile? They have old school contacts and are drooling at a Watergate style scoop.

Think of the ratings if they beat everyone to the finish line.

CBS has liberal leanings but they are clearly interested in profit, the kind of profit you get from a big scoop, on an election year.....

I’d almost bet that CBS is trying to ride the fence and as things get worse for Holder and Zero’s election hopes drain away, more and more ‘truth’ will find it’s way into their page/reportage.

Then they will have an ‘excuse’ that ‘they were fair’ in their coverage while the other networks ignored it totally.

Someone there learned a ‘partial’ lesson from Rathergate...but not enough of one.
