But but but the sponsors have all said they're not worried, that they're receiving negligible number of complaints and don't anticipate changing where they place their ads. So how can this be?
BWAHAHAHAHAHA!!!

Good move. Wait for the live thread. No need to give either O'Reilly or Rather ratings.

Hmm... I don't buy it. I'd suspect Rather's ratings have been quite high this past week. Most people can't resist slowing down to stare at a trainwreck... I share this suspicion.
To: Da Mav
Hey, Dan! When you leave CBS, can I have your suspenders? I got a squirrel problem in my yard and gotta make a slingshot.

"Rightly or wrongly, we're being perceived as 'anti-Bush,' which I do not think is fair to Dan, who is a fine journalist... Even the supposedly "smart people" at SEE BS are idiots.

Just to let you know that today I got an email response fromt the operations manager at the local CBS radio affiliate here in Lexington KY. He said he had just notified CBS today that they are cancelling them, when their contract expires end of December. So hitting the local affiliates does have an impact. Also, got a nice letter back from the station manager of the local CBS TV station. He said he is very concerned and has forwarded my email, along with the others to CBS in NY.
To: 101st-Eagle
excellent letter and most articulate. wow, some can still write well! : )
To: Rutles4Ever
Couple this with pressure on their sponsors... and I think we know how this will turn out. I did my part this a.m. with e-mails...will follow through with my wallet from now on. Most definitely, the pressure hasn't yet begun from their sponsors...perhaps within a week it just might, lol.

I approve of your posting too! Bravo!!!

To: happygrl
That's true.
When I was very young, the local news was 15 minutes, followed by the "CBS Evening News with Douglas Edwards."
30 minutes and out. Done.
Of course, we had a morning and evening paper, and there were about a dozen or more papers in NYC.
I cannot tell you whether or not the TV news was biased. I was still in my single digits!

"What is most amazing to me is that the usual defenders of liberal bias and the like are squarely aligned with the this-is-out-and-out-fraud crowd."
Don't be amazed; they are irate with Rather for impeaching their greatest tool of demogoguery, the network news organizations. They know that without the Ba'athist wing of the media to back up their lies, they're sunk; and they fear that with Rather they have a gaping hole in the hull.
A parallel can be drawn to the reaction to the Clinton's looting the White House on their way out: as the New York Slimes may have said, "its fine to perjure, rape, murder and commit treason, but when you steal the White House silver you make US look bad you lowlife trailer trash!"
Don't worry...they'll get over it.
