Sleazy CBS Rages at Sleazy New York Times

When two of the most biased members of the leftist media establishment snipe at each other's lack of ethics, it's time to kick back, sip a tall cool one and enjoy a good laugh.

CBS News, home of such useful idiots as Dan Rather and Mike Wallace, is furious that the New York Times, the scandal-plagued favorite newspaper of Soviet mass murderer Josef Stalin and present-day lovers of fiction everywhere, criticized its latest sleaze in bagging an interview with U.S. Army Pvt. Jessica Lynch.

"Unlike the New York Times' own ethical problems, there is no question about the accuracy or integrity of CBS News' reporting," the long-ago "Tiffany Network" claimed.

The Times suggested Monday that CBS told Lynch that other divisions of the Viacom empire would likely offer other projects. Those units include CBS Entertainment, Simon & Schuster and MTV.

"CBS News does not pay for interviews and it maintains a well-established separation from other parts of Viacom," insisted CBS, which has no qualms about greatly profiting from the interviews it is too cheap to pay for.

They've collaborated in those phony polls that undercount Republicans.

This from the network with an anchorman with a known close personal relationship with Fidel Castro and who was also at the scene of the assassination of President Kennedy in Dallas in 1963? What did he know, and when did he know it.

Katie Couric sending Private Lynch patriotic books?

Diane Sawyer putting a photo of Private Lynch's home in a gold locket?

They are all nothing but a bunch of money grubbing losers. They have no shame. So, shame on them. I only hope Private Lynch refuses any and all offers.

What did he know, and when did he know it.

Judging from that grotesque, obscene and nauseating grin on Blather, the thing he "knew" just prior to the pic was a long hot shower with the furry faced one, perhaps during the wee hours of the morning. And it is most unlikely that the furry faced one kissed Blather after he popped him. At least Georgie Geyer got a kiss [she was a lot younger then].
