CBS...Corrupt Bastard Syndrome.
Happy Halloween
CBS is so Dan Rathered washed up.
Isn’t there a code of ethics that they have broken working for
a political candidate instead of reporting the news?
And they STILL want us to think of them as unbiased.
We always knew this was going on but to hear them so blatantly and openly guffawing and scheming about it is shocking. There’s zero objectivity. There’s an effort to actually harm the conservative candidate in the worst way possible.
I’ve actually worked in the Alaska media. Granted, I quit in the middle 1990s, but I was there.
Let me be blunt. There were some newsrooms where I worked that never, ever participated in hit pieces and smear jobs. However, there were some of my colleagues who were outspoken advocates, who gleefully destroyed careers and reputations, and who had political agendas. I have sat in rooms with people like the ones on the recording. I know from the words and tone in the recording that their goal was to smear Joe Miller.
Which, by the way, is what you can always expect in a free society. Not everyone with a bully pulpit will be ethical. The response of free people is to aggressively go after those doing the smear, in public, in print, on video, and online, and do so until the people responsible are named and can respond. The readers - the citizens - can make up their minds after reading and seeing who says what and why.
A few words about Channel 11, whose reporters were recorded. This is the “second” station in Anchorage, running behind the Channel 2 news powerhouse. They’ve been trying for years to break into the top, and failing. The other news station, Channel 13, is a third-rate nothing which has genially conceded themselves to reality and consolidated their newsroom into one statewide entity for the Anchorage, Fairbanks, and Juneau stations, which allows them to rip and read newspaper stories and save money on staff and video.
Miller is probably smart enough to use this story to portray himself as the noble victim of media excess, a theme that works well up here. I hope his staff is looking for some kind of connection to the Channel 11 staff and Lisa Murkowski (R-Sore Loser).
By the way, most of the people I worked for were really good folks, but the advocate journalists coming out of the colleges were changing the complexion of the newsroom by the time I took my leave.
I’m also going to use this recording with my high school journalism class this week and use it as a vehicle for a little discussion on ethics. Never let a crisis go to waste, as they say.
Think how bad NBC must be.
Send this audio file to Drudge, Rush, Hannity, Malkin, Savage, et al. This must be talked about tomorrow.
Alaska Freepers should send it viral to their friends in Alaska.
I checked the Alaska newspapers online and every TV/Cable News Network and no one was carrying it but FOX News. Go figure.
This could determine the winner for the US Senate from Alaska
(and Republican/Democrat control of the Senate.)

I’m thinking this should be worth 3 more percentage points for Joe. Whatcha think? Anybody?
Just a reminder to everyone, Sarah Palin has worked for the Alaska television groups years ago, she knows what goes on from the inside, regardless of whatever spin CBS says about it being a conversation for all possibilities I know that Sarah has the sources to know what really happened. And I would go so far as to say there are probably a lot more Sarah Palin supporters now both here in Alaska and the lower 48 than before, she went on the offensive, she did it with beliefs, with intelligence and passion. Something this nation desperately NEEDS. We will vote for Miller, we will inform Ms Loser that its time for her to go somewhere else, she can stay inside the Anchorage liberalized and fortified castle. The rest of Alaska is past the city limits.The REAL Alaska. If there is any state more pissed off about liberal elitism I would like to hear of it. We chose to live our simple lifestyle, many that have moved here sacrificed a much more lavish lifestyle, and we don't need a Princess blaming us for her not getting her pony.I don’t believe the liberal media.
