A check some hotels in the area to see just who paid Gramma's hotel bill and meals while up in NYC, if shown to reflect the CBS Accounting Department, will evaporate any inkling that this woman was "independent" and "unbiased". She's a paid CBS shill is what she is.
I will almost garuntee they sent the corporate jet out for her and put her in their nice suite. Making her feel VERY obligated to play nice with them.
