I saw Bob Schieffer's CBS News this evening, and noticed the new format of veiled commentary after almost every polical news story. "Let me get this straight, Ben. Are you saying that the new law on gun use in Florida forces the state to presume innocence whenever a gun is used in self-defense? . . . Well, that IS a big change!"

CBS News with Bob Schieffer. Same old liberal lies, but with less charm, if that were possible.

Schieffer is a Dan Rather wannabe. His politics are so obvious its laughable.

CBS NewsCBS News spokeswoman Donna Dees

Remember Donna Dees-Thomases? Hillary's best friend and political activist that led the Clinton charge against gun owners.

CBS is staffed top to bottom with hard left liberal political activists, no bias though!

Bob Schieffer is alright, but the damage done by Rather and Co. will be felt by CBS for a decade. And CBS absolutely deserves to be in the toilet for all the damage that the network has done to the nation by shamelessly aiding and abetting the scumbag Democrats, year after year.

CBS has averaged a little more than 6.8 million viewers in Schieffer's first six weeks at the helmhelm, down 7% from the same period last year. NBC also was down 7% in the same period from last year, while ABC was flat.

Good news WCC! Thanks for posting.

Now lets just let the cats bury that turd!

Thankfully, CBS is a house built on sand.

I waiting for Bob to start using the "Courage" bit on Dan's advice.

I wonder if Bob had to clean out all the other authentic ANG memo's and urgent memo's from Mary when he took over Dans old desk with the fart stained chair.

Mental age, emotional maturity age or chronological age?

And what would you guess all three add up to?
