Nope, not even a smidgen of bias.
Once the gold standard of broadcast news, now CBS has zero credibility.
What a shame !
See! Transparency rules!
The honest newsmen of the past are spinning in their graves...
or more precisely
CBS ain’t what it use ta be...
Lol, at CBS. A once proud network is reduced to laughing stock.
I'd prefer they just admitted that they are shilling for big government libs and are going to only report news helpful to the liberal cause.
Sharyl Attkisson on the new Benghazi email revelation
By: John Hayward
HUMAN EVENTS
4/30/2014
On Wednesday morning, Glenn Beck interviewed former CBS News reporter Sharyl Attkisson – one of the few mainstream media reporters to do actual, skeptical reporting on the Benghazi affair, and other Obama Administration scandals, which is a big reason why she’s a “former CBS News reporter” – about the White House spin-control emails uncovered by Judicial Watch.
Beck mentioned the fraternal relationship between White House communications adviser Ben Rhodes and his brother, CBS News honcho David Rhodes, who was not entirely supportive of Attkisson’s reporting on Benghazi. She said she was glad to see “a little more light” shed on this relationship, and confirmed CBS News decided not to make the sort of Freedom of Information Act request that Judicial Watch used to pry the truth out of the Administration. (It should, however, be noted that CBS was the one and only mainstream media network to cover yesterday’s stunning Benghazi revelations, and while they gave the last word to White House spin doctors, they provided a fairly thorough report.)
Attkisson lamented the incestuous relationship between Big Government and Big Media, where media figures slip easily through revolving doors to become Administration officials and vice versa – a “perfect storm” that leads to both deliberate, ideological media bias, and an almost unconscious tendency to ignore stories that don’t appeal to the tastes of the joint Administration/media culture.
Beck brought up the weird hacking incident in which Attkisson’s computers were remotely activated and searched – an incident confirmed as a hacker attack by CBS News security experts, although the identity of the perpetrators remains officially unknown. Attkission said she remains “outraged” by the attack, and has long said she suspects she knows who was responsible, but deferred further questions to her lawyer. Beck and Attkisson discussed the growing atmosphere of intimidation against journalists who don’t toe the Administration/Big Media party line.
Attkisson also discussed the still-mysterious events of September 11, 2012, making some interesting points about how we still don’t know what Barack Obama did while the Benghazi attack was unfolding, why the national security apparatus seemed “paralyzed” for six or seven crucial hours, or why there were no contingency preparations whatsoever for such an event.
The rest of the scandal...

So...who’s going to be the “brave” journalist that does some real investigating? Who will finally turn on the Messiah?
((( HOLDING BREATH )))
I'm pretty sure I heard her on the Dennis Miller show yesterday, but I don't see her on his guest list, so maybe it was Beck where I heard her.
An identical type email in a Republican administration would have been the lead story on CBS

Try: “Fish or cut bait.”
Thanks Nachum:
> AND.. CBS is out in front of the Benghazi story today with a piece entitled: “Why the new Benghazi emails aren’t a smoking gun”
