CBS has kept Rather on the air despite the fact that he's pulled this many times.

It's obvious CBS likes his work.

Isn't CBS the ones who called the election in favor of Gore before the panhandle(which is known to vote Republican) of Florida had voted, thus causing all the recounts.

CBS will Skew an election, "just because they can." I mean, so what? What are the sheepish "unwashed masses going to do?"

Lest we forget ... recall that Andy Dim-Wit (sire of Emily Half-Wit and Brian Nit-Wit), pundit also in 60 Minutes cast of self-absorded stars, had to apologize for "insensitive comments" - and then only after it snowed complaints at CBS headquarters and FCC offices.

Who has the Dan Rather quote that goes something like "I think a person might be honest even though they've told any number of lies."

To the liberal/communist mind, a lie is not a "lie". It is merely a means to further the communist cause and is, therefore, justified.

To communist, a lie is only a lie not when you lie to the public, but Rather when you lie to the state. e.g., the old Soviet Union.

I don't know if Dan said this, but if he didn't, he should have.

Pull press credentials. They are not an news organization. They are the midia wing of the Democrat party which makes them entertainment... at best.

"Subsequently, Mr. Camacho filed a lawsuit against us, and in the course of that suit, we learned additional facts which have now convinced us that the Custom Services' conclusion is correct.

I wonder why they apologized the second time, 14 months after the first apology? Sounds like it might have been required as part of a settlement of the lawsuit?

Nah... I was thinking of a different quote... one that Dan used to explain why he thought Clinton was honest even though he lied.

..And therefore should not have the special dispensation that the press has under the ridiculous McCain Feingold law.

, "just because they can." What is it with this term. I have watched interviews with serial killers ,pedophiles, bill Clinton, and now the term is used in describing CBS. Is it just something that is in the pathology of criminals.

"...You can be an honest person and lie about any number of things". Interview with O'Reilly. Rather enlightening, don't you think.

Yes it is a common criminal pathology.

"Just because I can", is a sociopath's outcry for lack of attention or consequences. That is, some sociopaths crave a particular kind of order and when they perceive none, they "act out" to show the system its own folly. They rationalize and justify themselves and elevate their thoughts of order by concluding that society deserved it for not paying attention to them or preventing them from commiting the act.

Not a psychologist this is just psych 101 undergrad babble combined with too many CSI episodes
