I have more than a few issues with CBS news. But I have read the article several times now. It seems to be a fair report on a news worthy item. I don't see any evidence of attempting to sensationalize the report or slander President Reagan. I think it looks more like some people on FR were maybe looking for an opportunity to take a shot at CBS news. Thats fine. They deserve their abysmal reputation for bias. But I think we need to be careful to confine our criticisms to those cases where the criticism is justified. I have every confidence that CBS will continue to provide us with such legitimate grounds for attack. No need to get hypersensitive about everything they write.

Seems to me that you are the one being hypersensitive if you can't appreciate the irony of CBS News breaking a forgery story. The magnitude of their earlier crime is generally underappreciated if anything.

Oh there is every reason to whack CBS at every opportunity, and that is because everyone knows (or ought to know) that when nobody was (or is) looking, See-BS is looking to pull a fast one, be it the memory of Ronald Reagan, our current President George W. Bush, conservatives in general, the GOP in particular, all the while painting leftists and liberals like themselves with nothing but adoring colors and words of praise, while lying through their teeth about being "unbiased" and "objective". That's pure 100 percent horse manure and everyone knows it.

CBS is like the juvenile delinquent who stumbles downstairs to breakfast one Sunday morning, eyes bleary, barely awake, and the father grabs him by the collar, drags him out the kitchen door, and starts kicking his ass up one side and down the other, the kid says "what did you do that for?" and the father says "for all that trouble you got into last night", the kid says "I didn't get in any trouble last night?" and the father says "what about the time before?", the kid says "how did you know about that?" and the father says "I didn't, but I suspected it, and that's why you got an ass-whuppin' this morning, just on *general principle*!"

It's the irony of CBS reporting on a forgery when they themselves perpetuated a forgery. Kind of like hiring Slick Willie to teach classes on marital fidelity.
