I sent an email to the scams@cbsnews.com . I've also sent a few emails to the Evening News evening@cbsnews.com and 60 Minutes II 60II@cbsnews.com
Here's the latest:
Dear Former Journalists:
Did the interview with the secretary save you. I don't think so!
She says the memos are "fake, but accurate." What a great idea for a new tagline for your promos. "CBS News: Fake but Accurate" Yeah, keep going. Your credibility and audience are almost gone, go ahead and finish the job!
Here's a sample 5-10 second promo: "For a fraudulent re-creation of the days events watch the CBS Evening News woth Dan Rather. CBS News: FAKE BUT ACCURATE."
Good luck in your future careers. Start practicing now "Would you like fries with that?"
Not in the email. I think James Lileks raised this point: Why didn't CBS News find the secretary and interview her BEFORE putting the fake memos on the air? Are they lazy, incompetent, or both? Oh, I left out the obvious option BIASED!
I nominate this for post of the week.
hahahaaa !I bet CBS's email inboxes and faxes are burning up!!
I couldn't believe that LAME thing with that 86 year-old lady last night.
Rather is SOooo biased!Doing my very best Natalie Maines impersonation:
Just so you'll know, I'm ashamed
that Dan Rather is from Texas!
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.
