CBS RADIO HEAD ORDERS 'MUST CARRY' TO STATIONS FOR CLINTON BOOK SPECIAL

Drudge Report ^ | 6/14/04

[Brian Mosely]

Move over Rush Limbaugh! Bill Clinton is set to hit the talkradio waves with a live special -- one that CBS has ordered a "must carry" directive for all of its affiliates!

[LowCountryJoe]

excellent points!

[weegee]

Don't forget to remind the media to look CRITICALLY at Bill Clinton's failures. After all, they did not let a grieving family or a funeral keep them from speaking ill of the dead.

Bill Clinton should be afforded no such courtesy at this time.

No, sorry, you were just the last post when I wrote. I was mocking Drudge's "Move over Limbaugh" as pure bunk...they are on at different times. CBS may be bumping something, but it won't be Limbaugh.

[weegee]

The cynics among us call it an "infomercial" (akin to payola) at the very least and a prime example of liberal media bias.

Attention all Swinekoff Station Owners and Managers!

You vill carry the Vonderful Program Honoring Herr Clintoon!

Refusal to do so will be meet with severe punishment!

Vonderful Clintoon Program for the Volks on Volkradio.

maybe we should collect the e-mails and post them?

[Sofa King]

Because more people would hear it if they just yelled it out on a semi-busy street corner.

My question for XXXlintigula. How do you respond to Juanita Broderick's rape accusations?

[ProfoundMan]

If memory serves, wasn't there a dust up a few years back when the libs especially were all in a huff about media organizations owning too much media? Didn't that result in oh-so-strict regulations enacted by Congress to limit media ownership by market ostensibly designed to prevent media conglomerates from 'roadblocking" like this?

If so, those regulations will prove to be about as effective as Campaign Finance Reform.

I sure am glad those congresscritters are lookin out for our best interest! /sarcasm

I listen to Clear Channel - so I don't have to worry

However, people can listen to Rush on the net. I'm not worried. I suspect more people will turn off their regular station than will look for a station to hear clinton.

[ClancyJ]

Well - they can't make me watch it. Note to Self: Remember, absolutely no CBS for the foreseeable future.

[dmanLA]

Wouldn't it be funny if they open the lines for callers and there isn't any... BWAHAHAHAHA!

[NavySEAL F-16]

And, they thought the coverage of Reagan's funeral was too "excessive". Good grief, what will they call this? Oh, that's right, it's about THEM! Their double standard is showing again. Let's just hope the American people see this for what it is. I would have thought that this would be a little much even for the "Little sink master".

This is Clintons coming out party. Prior he was still a cartoon.

[Helms]

I don't believe that Knopf, the publisher, is a Viacom property.

[Dog Gone]

Wouldn't it be funny if they open the lines for callers and there isn't any

No chance of that. Paul Begala and Sydney Blumenthal will step in if necessary.

[snarkpup]

And this will differ how from their regularly scheduled programming, which on all-"news" KCBS I can usually stand for about two minutes?

[TheErnFormerlyKnownAsBig]

How about this question? When you were being impeached, one of my customers said you didn't lie when you said "I did not have sex with that woman...." and her reason was that sex also means six. She thought you were saying you weren't six inches long. Is this what you meant?


True story.

[Brian Mosely]

By the way, the quick check on http://www.theyrule.net shows that William S. Cohen, of the Clinton cabinet is also on Viacom's board of directors.

I shall not watch, listen to, or read, any mainstream news when Klinton's lies come out...

I basically agree, but why did you add the part about Klinton's lies? It's really unnecessary.
