NOTE TO ALL: This was the first post of this article with the correct title. I moved it to breaking news to avoid more duplicates.

"Yesterday, the Chairman of CBS's parent company chose Hong Kong as a place to drop a little bomb. Sumner Redstone, who calls himself a "liberal Democrat" says he's supporting President Bush
he needs to get rid of Andrew Hayward, Dan Rather and Mary Mapes. and the sooner the better.
Don't be surprised if this guy butters both sides of his bread.
He doesn't support him - he just knows what everyone else knows - W is going to win.
And I believe everything he says, too!

That was purely a business decision, and a smart, if transparent one.
Possibly because he knows what really happened, and is appalled by it!
How many times have we heard the dem-line saying the Republicans are all for 'big business' and the Dems are for the 'little guy'?
This is just a different version of that same old line. These old leftists are cagey and smart in the way they get their *false* message out. We all know the Dems are not "for" anyone except themselves gaining power and making themselves rich.
Sheesh.
I think it's more BS.
Yep, say anything when drowning.
Why is it I can't believe a word of what is attributed to this man?
because my endorsement will help deflect attention from the patent political bias and aiding and abetting of fraud that might have been perpetrated by CBS.
Did I read the other thread wrong? If not, LOL, methinks Redstone realizes us pubbies are mad as hell and we're not gonna take it anymore. Methinks he's seen how the Rathergate crapola has affected many bottom lines and he's trying to grab a lifeboat from a sinking ship.
Well Lets see him order his minions to start giving the SWIFTBOATVETS some decent Air Time
Hey!!, You forgot to list all his contributions to the Bush/Cheney 00 and 04 campaigns.
I believe Mr. Redstone. He is a big owner of MSM, so it must be true.
Ain't that special. Now that the lying POS is in the cross-hairs of the pajamahadeen, as well as a possible Federal investigation, he lies that he's a Bush supporter...which is why he gives money to Kerry and other leftist losers. It's a nuance thing...see?
He'd better hang out in Hong Kong until the indictment list is released...
That was the first thought I had just noticing the title LOL
And thanks, mewzilla, for confirming what we all knew to be the true motivation here :-)
