CBS News Denies Conflict of Interest over Exec’s Familial Ties to White House

Former CBS News reporter Sharyl Attkisson has made the media rounds claiming that network management was not exactly happy she was covering stories critical of the Obama administration. When new Benghazi information was made public this week, CBS News covered the new details (with a disclosure that Ben Rhodes, the Obama administration official at the center of the controversy, is the brother of CBS News President David Rhodes). However, some conservative sites still claimed a serious conflict of interest, with the Heritage Network blog and the Washington Free Beacon picked up on the familial connection.

“It’s not a conflict of interest, because we were blantantly biased towards democrats anyway.”

News requires credibility. Without that, the news is WORTHLESS. The appearance here, alone, destroys their credibility. Apparently they don't care.

They can’t deny there is a conflict of interest. The conflict of interest is a FACT.

Sheesh.

[DManA]

All the big shots in Big media - If they don’t have a big shot democrat brother, they they have a big shot democrat sister, mother, father, kid, or they’re sleeping with one.

What do you mean, "Propaganda Corps"? CBS isn't part of any Propaganda Corps! We're journalists. Get it?

The Rhodes Bros. look a bit like Moriarty from the new BBC Sherlock...

[Mastador1]

How can it be a conflict He’s a democrat, the resident is a communist, so how can there possibly be any conflict? They’re like two peas in a pod.

CBS News Denies Conflict of Interest over Exec’s Familial Ties to White House...yeah, and Jay Carney denied the idea that an email released because of a court order for documents related to Benghazi had anything to do with Benghazi - the trouble for these people is that they really believe that all those listening to them are so stupid that they can't see through the deceit and obfuscation - and that at the end of the day they'll have any credibility left to trade on.....
