geez this is bad- when going back to 'old fashioned' unbiased reporting of news (as opposed to fabricating news) is considered to be earth-shattering news that shakes them up so.

He can break the mold, break convention, break any damn thing he wants.....I quit watching CBS (EVERY program) when Blather lied about the Guard story and the executives white-washed their 'investigation.'

Then quit telling lies and making up stuff if you want to get ahead of the others. Also, Get rid of Damn Blather.

I remember that, but wasn't CNN also involved in that?

They have a long way back to get to unbiased reporting. Walter Cronkite and the near dead crew at 6o minutes lead the way in bias. Now Mike Wallace is touting his book and crowing about all of his "Gotcha" years.

"... break the mold in news."

Mold is right! CBS can be fairly described as mold in news.

All we need is the CBS eye in the above picture.

The email I received in response to my objection to the use of "sloppy seconds" to describe Alito:

Thank you for writing to CBS regarding the October 31st morning White House press briefing. John Roberts has issued an apology for his language at that briefing:

"At the morning White House gaggle, I used an unfortunate choice of words in a question to Scott McClellan. Please be assured that there was no pejorative intent to my question. I was merely attempting to reconcile past statements about Harriet Miers with the President's new nominee for the Supreme Court.

The early morning White House gaggle is an informal, free-wheeling and often irreverent forum, which is not broadcast and generally not publicly available.

Obviously, my tone this morning was a little too casual.

As we all experience from time to time, it was one of those 'oops' moments which we wish we could rewind and re-record.

I apologize to anyone who took offense to my poor choice of words. I can assure you I meant none."

CBS has posted additional details on our Public Eye website. You can visit this Public Eye entry at:

http://www.cbsnews.com/blogs/2005/10/31/publiceye/entry997460.shtml

In the meantime, please be assured that the comments you have expressed will be shared with the senior executives at CBS News.

Cordially,

Ray Faiola
Director,
CBS Audience Services

Has anyone noticed that the name of the president of CBS News is an acronym for what CBS needs to improve its credibility?

President of CBS News: Leslie Moonves
What CBS News needs: Less Move-on lie
