More Legal Problems for CBS - (Unmerry Christmas to CBS)
A.I.M.ORG ^ | DECEMBER 9, 2004 | CLIFF KINCAID

Posted on 12/09/2004 5:07:41 PM PST by CHARLITE

The election has been over for weeks, but experts and observers are still pondering the results. Dr. Arthur B. Robinson, the president of the Oregon Institute of Science and Medicine, comments that "Big media tried some very big lies late in the campaign in blatant attempts to defeat the President before these lies could be countered. For the most part, these efforts did not work. They were countered by the truth¯on the Internet¯in remarkably timely fashion."

Jeffrey Mazzella, the Center's Executive Director, charged that CBS and its executives "blatantly violated federal election laws when they overtly ignored basic journalistic ethical standards and coordinated with the Kerry campaign in order to run an attack story in an effort to affect the outcome of the November presidential election. Our complaint makes this very clear."

Question is, why arn't the feds investigating this. Forgery is against the law, isn't it?

What happened to the results of the Rather-memo-gate investigation which were supposed to come out the first week of Dec? I haven't been watching the news. Did I miss it?

Probably this whole thing was set up by Rove to insure our victory. ;-) Why let the left know our secrets. We can use the same thing again next time.

They either said Rather was retired or retarded. I am not sure which.

CBS News, The Guardian in the UK and Bill Moyers of PBS have lost ALL credibility. There are many others but these three will never regain any real credibility. JMHO.

I believe that all of these lies are being sought protection under free speech.

One can only hope.

Indeed.  One most certainly hope this is true:

Three weeks after the election, CBS Evening news anchorman Dan Rather, who hosted the broadcast, announced that he was stepping down.  The Economist of London commented that "Mr. Rather's retirement epitomizes two broader shifts of power.  First, the old media are losing power to the new.  And, second, the liberal media establishment is losing power to a more diverse cacophony of new voices."

Now, that is encouraging, considering the source.

The sooner ABC, NBC, and CBS disappear into the septic tank of history, along with the Democrat Party, the better.
