Hillary's Shill At CBS
IBD Editorials ^ | 8 Mar 2007 | Staff

Posted on 03/08/2007 5:26:24 PM PST by Kitten Festival

Media Bias: After "60 Minutes" used fake documents to accuse President Bush of avoiding war service, how could CBS News possibly stoop lower? By hiring a longtime Clinton crony to rescue its evening news show.

Consider this quote, dating from a few months after Bill Clinton first took office: "If we could be one-hundredth as great as you and Hillary Rodham Clinton have been in the White House, we'd take it right now and walk away winners."

Those are not the words of a campaign operative or grass roots fundraiser, but of then-CBS Evening News anchorman Dan Rather, speaking on behalf of himself and co-anchor Connie Chung via satellite to President Clinton during a May, 1993, CBS affiliates meeting.

Maybe that's why the Liberals fought to keep the CIA from hiring "undesirables". That net caught too may of their own>

Our country is run by greedy slugs who will not do the right thing. They are phasing America out. Isn't it strange that they are jailing all of the innocent. The Clintons are absolutely crazy. They can not stop persecuting people especially the President because they know they are failures.

Here's Kaplan's rather revealing record, characterized as lacking in professionalism and trading on bias:

• CNN had to retract its 1998 "Tailwind" report in the very first edition of the Kaplan-created "NewsStand" news magazine show. The program claimed the U.S. military used nerve gas in a mission to kill American defectors in Laos during the Vietnam War.

• In the 1993 Food Lion lawsuit against ABC's "PrimeTime Live," a jury demanded ABC pay the supermarket chain $5.5 million for fraud — and that executive producer Kaplan personally pay $35,000. Food Lion had accused the show's producers of deceiving the public with "staged events and selective editing." (ABC successfully appealed the verdict.)

• Vanity Fair reported in 1998 that Kaplan in October 1994 killed an ABC "World News Tonight" segment on the Clintons' Whitewater scandal featuring an exclusive interview with an Arkansas state trooper who claimed a Clinton aide had tried to silence him, and that Kaplan discouraged other Whitewater coverage.

• It also revealed Kaplan advised Bill on how to bounce back from his disastrously tedious speech to the 1988 Democratic National Convention, in which he was practically booed off the stage.

• The magazine also reported that Kaplan even once hired Hillary "to work on coverage of the 1980 Democratic convention."

• According to a CNN producer quoted in the Washington Monthly in 1993, Kaplan arranged for Bill to appear on New York's Don Imus radio program during the 1992 campaign.

CBS "Evening News" has become third in the network ratings since infotainer Katie Couric arrived as hostess. For some reason, CBS thinks having a bosom buddy of the Clintons turn it into a nightly commercial for Hillary's presidential campaign is the solution.

The CIA and, all of Washington are controlled by the left.
Most, if not all gov. employees are union and , we all know on which side the unions are on.

Wilson pulled one of the best charades in politics with the aid of leftest CIA operatives.

Libby will dangle at the end of a rope because the Republicans
in the GOP will not come to his aid.

I think the Sunday Morning thread readers will be very interested in this article. It gives a detailed record of Rick Kaplan's history of supporting the Clintons (and all things Democrat) for the past 25 years.
