The CEO of Viacom has been getting a lot of 'press' here in FR for his role in Rathergate. He is now running for cover before someone decides to boycott his local cable TV srvices.

With CBS up to their arses in the swamp, I question the veracity of the man and the timing of his confession.

This should go well with the lefty claim that the media is actually conservative rather than liberal.
