"Meanwhile, the network announced that Rather would anchor the network's coverage of all three presidential debates, starting Sept. 30."
Will this REALLY sell?
We all helped to spike another hit piece that was already loaded to fire.
CBS News has shelved a ``60 Minutes'' report on the rationale for war in Iraq because it would be ``inappropriate'' to air it so close to the presidential election, the network said on Saturday. Actually it would seem to be more "appropriate" than a certain story that ran a few weeks ago, but you have to forgive CBS-- they're still distracted by the pinch of their teat caught in that wringer....
Well, CBS's marketshare ought to match Kerry's polling numbers.
No surprise out of this right? Sort of like when Matthews on Hardball beat up Kitty Litter Kelly... he had to show he was not "biased" with his token slapping of her book.
What is also not surprising is that Rather is still going to cover the elections... that guy still has too much clout at CBS. However this could hurt him if no one tunes in and would be a great sign that Big Dan needs to be trashed...
Wow! Power to the people. I sent my email yesterday. Very cool.
LOL!!! Oh, NOW cbs discovers some scruples ... i wonder how crooked this report was going to be!!!
What a coincidence! Right before the DNC's "Fortunate Son" ad campaign was set to run. Too bad it blew up in their face. Too bad that strategically it would have made more sense to attack GWB on Iraq.
This is an example of what blind hatred will do to you and your cronies. It causes you to throw rational thinking out the window. Too bad, so sad. You lose.
Put on ANYTHING YOU WANT...SEE B S There isn't a living being on earth watching.
Don't the campaigns have a say in who moderates the debates?
Yeah well, this close to the election and all. They'll probably have to cancel that in-depth investigation of the Swiftboat Vets accusations against John F'n Kerry too.
Ya think?
This just in.... CBS has been placed on a suicide watch.
Huh? The Iraq war is one of the bigger foreign policy issues, if not the biggest one, in this election campaign. And CBS is asserting that airing a story that discusses the rationale for entering that theatre is inappropriate?
That makes absolutely no sense. As a voter, and I think most voters would agree, an objective review of the justification of how and why the USA recently got into Iraq (with the objective of replacing the government led by Saddam Hussein) would facilitate evaluation of GWB as president.
Oh, I see. The report isn't objective. Well, nice of CBS to telegraph that factoid. Hey!! CBS!! We already knew you to be irredeemably biased. Go ahead and run with it!
Actually this is great news. After the latest CBS bias adventure, Dan will very carefully attempt to stay unbiased knowing the world and his bosses will be scrutinizing every word..
Well, now Dan is really getting protection from CBS -- NARRATED
Do they really think this is going to fly?
Another c BS hit piece loaded with Ratherisms against President Bush has been cancelled.
I wonder how much impact Freepers had on that Rather filled bs being cancelled.
