Oh my. I agree. I do what I can to write to the major offenders when they offend. Here's what I sent CBS. I was a little pleased with this effort. LOL.

You must be so proud. Once again the Washington press corps and your own CBS chief White House correspondent, John Roberts, have demonstrated there is no low beneath which they cannot sink. It's not that Mr. Robert's remark wasn't vile and disgusting,(it was) but rather that it revealed what modern journalism(and CBS) is so bereft of; intelligence, decorum, intellectual weight and curiosity. Vast swaths of history are passing by without comment, context or remark. To actually deal with these issues of course would require "journalists" with some background on history, current events and important ideas, and a thorough grounding in the great political debate that is our unfolding history. That is so very hard, and requires doing ones homework.

But at any rate, Mr. Roberts has plenty of 'tude. That seems to be the major requirement for CBS. While I ceased watching your news product many, many years ago, because of its shallow and agendised coverage, I do still watch other programming. This will cease immediately.

And so you may have Mr. Roberts "apologise" for his unfortunate words, but it really doesn't matter. This is the world of the internet baby, and the truth is half way around the world before the lie gets its pants on. Which is fortunate for those of us disgusted with your product. Its seems that again your network as part of the press corps just gang rapes the news proving that the most degraded form of human intercourse is the journalists.’. Sloppy seconds, indeed.

Bravo!

The closing was perfect: "Its seems that again your network as part of the press corps just gang rapes the news proving that the most degraded form of human intercourse is the journalists.’. Sloppy seconds, indeed."

Bravo again!
