To paraphrase LBJ’s remark during the Tet offensive , “If we’ve lost CBS (Walter) we’ve lost the election (the war).

In case you haven't noticed, this isn't LBJ's America.

CBS has been the butt of jokes for decades, now.

Oh yes, I know. I was around here during Dan Rather's TANG downfall at the hands of Buckhead and when somebody did a very clever graphic superimposing the CBS symbol on to the collapsing Eye of Sauron from the Return of the King. Wish I had that graphic. I'd like to put Obama's logo on it. I just thought the existence and timing of that CBS article were curious

When has anything come out of CBS (or Newsweek) that did not treat Obama like some sort of demigod? I like to draw analogies from history and when LBJ realized he'd lost Uncle Walter, who was just as much in LBJ's back pocket as today's (shadow of its former self, admittedly) CBS is in Obama's, he knew he'd irretrievably lost the battle for public opinion and the war. I know this CBS article and tomorrow's Newsweek cover editorial are probably temporary aberrations, but if not and it's the start of a trend ... interesting times ahead.

While you and I and millions of others do not give a rat's a** what any of the MSM pukes think there are regrettably still a few million out there who get their news and form their opinions from that drivel.
