Hillary's Shill At CBS(CBS scumbag alert)
INVESTOR'S BUSINESS DAILY ^ | 3/8/2007 | Editorial

Posted on 03/09/2007 7:19:30 AM PST by bilhosty

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.

On one hand it will be a delight to see the bimbo go. On the other hand it looks like we will have a much more formidable enemy.

After reading the article, it became clear that Katie was not consulted about the change at CBS is pure B.S.

• 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. "I am shocked and chagrined"

I'm thinking, that CBS is thinking, "When the liberal machine gets strong enough to decide that there will only one source for news, CBS should have it nose in deep enough to be the obvious choice."

The klintoons and the other dimocRATS have shills throughout the media. Katie is not the only one by far.

Kaplan unfortuniately will not be able to do his job as well as he did for CNN and MSNBC. Under his leadership he was able to get them to loose viewer. Katie doesn't have any, so he won't be nearly as effective.

Kaplan, in fact, has long lacked professionalism and traded in bias:

IOW, he is a perfect fit for SeeBS.

Fortunately, there are only about 35 people who actually watch the SeeBS so called news.

...a personal two-and-a-half-hour tour of the White House by the president for his 21-year-old daughter...

Imagine that!

Maybe that was when they had osama in his sights and the CIA couldn't get ahold of him to get permission to pull the trigger. No I got a better idea of what he was doing.

"When the liberal machine gets strong enough to decide that there will only one source for news, CBS should . . . be the obvious choice."
The claim of all journalists that all journalists are objective implies that, as far as journalists are concerned, there already is "only one source for news." If they all agree that all of them are right, they are all in cahoots.

The fact that there are several "MSM" outlets for "objective journalism" merely obscures the fact that they are all fundamentally the same. Just as the fact that the Yankees and the Red Sox are bitter rivals within the white lines obscures the fact that they are partners in the effort to get rear ends on seats in ball parks.

Why Broadcast Journalism is
Unnecessary and Illegitimate
