Guess not.
Is this a rhetorical question?
Contact Dan's bosses:
Sumner M. Redstone, chairman/CEO - Viacom
sumner.redstone@viacom.com
Leslie Moonves, president/CEO, CBS -
leslie.moonves@tvc.cbs.com
File a complaint with the FCC:
fccinfo@fcc.gov
The last person at CBS with integrity and courage was Bernard Goldberg.
I would not let CBS moderate any debate. I can imagine the questioning.
Schaeffer to the President: "Bush", CBS has a solid source that writes that you used cocaine you bought from you wife with your gay boyfriend, Bush, what is your reaction to this?
Scaeffer to Kerry: Esteemed Senator Kerry, to be fair and balanced I'll ask you the same question, CBS has a solid source that writes that BUSH used cocaine HE bought from HIS wife with HIS gay boyfriend, what is your reaction to this?
Please, why even bother doing a debate that CBS in isnolved in.
I've written all those and more.
I am going to set my efforts on my local affiliate WGNX Atlanta. I have already hit local sponsors and written a letter for their relicensing file. They are part of the Meredith Broadcasting group (they own 6 CBS stations):

Meredith corp also has a link to the code of ethics, compliance person.
(Pssss, Nick, that was a Parody you were reading. But it does show how easy it is to fake documents in this day and age).
I could demonstrate, but it is difficult to type with a sock on each hand.
I agree wiyh you, that this is what they appear to be doing. The NYT has the same marketing strategy, and will thrive because they are the dominant player vying for the left-leaning international english speaking market. CBS, however, is competing in an already very crowded market, repleat with players wooing the lefty viewer. It seems to me that CNN, ABC, NBC and the rest value defeating Bush much more than retaining their objectivity also.
There is room for at least one more player vying for the sane viewer, a la Fox News, this to me would represent the more lucrative move, but these people can't bring themselves to do it.
Give the public a little credit (although I admit it's hard) -- the scenario you fear will only appeal to the rabid foaming-at-the-mouth Dumbocrats whose vote is not in play. The voters the GOP needs to win will be tipped to our side by the attacks -- and the more outrageous they become, the better.
Check with the night janitor in Dan's office. He may meet the criteria and have a stash of crumpled forgery drafts worth looking at.
Is this a trick question?
Presumably they're disposed of during the interview process.

Buckhead and TankerKC can share a pulitzer and we'll all say "We knew them when...."
