"Of course, the "old" (formerly "mainstream") news media is a dying institution anyway, so there may not even be any point in trying to recover. Good riddance to the lot of them."

Amen! In my book, whatever happens to CBS isn't really good enough - or a good enough example to the liberal media - until the FBI investigates and files ferderal charges for trying to rig the election.

This may have had more impact had Zucker blasted CBS back in September of 2004. Bringing it up now in the manner it reads, is beyond idiotic.

Do they say anything about ABC airing the funeral of one of our fallen during the inauguration?

There's no points to be made here. Forget it NBC. Too late now. Bone up for 2008. I'm sure you'll be just as crooked, if still around.

NBC's top executive sharply criticized CBS News and anchorman Dan Rather on Friday for broadcasting a botched report questioning President Bush (news - web sites)'s military record -- and said such a mistake could never happen at his network.

Sure it could. Ideology trumps all else in the modern American newsroom. Never mind if the story is factual. To liberals and their wiling accomplices in the media, truth is whatever serves the party.

The only (very slim) possibility that CBS has of beginning a long, slow recovery would be for the network to unceremoniously axe Rather, Heyward, and Moonves and then bring in a complete surprise (from the outside) as the new anchor. And that new anchor would have to be one heck of a choice.

Who would it be? O'Reilly? Liz Trotta? John Stossel? Bernard Goldberg? Dari Alexander? Laurie Dhue? Who?

Maybe someone wise at NBC decided it was time to distance themselves from wake of CBS as it goes down?

ABC & NBC didn't have a hand in the Fraud, but they are still "sister ships" of CBS. I wonder if the cable networks look down on all three as associated with the "myopic bias" problem.

Just the name Kitty Kelly was enough to discredit the whole thing. You do remember that everyone hated her unauthorized biographies of Frank Sinatra and former President Ronald Reagan, and Kelly's book about the British royal family actually got banned in Great Britain!

Re: Kitty Kelly on NBC.

The stupid liberals are renewing their drive to bring back the Fairness Doctrine". They think this is still 1988 and that they will be the ones constantly refuting any conservative message that happens to pass into the public airways. They don't realize it's a "doctrine" that cuts both ways. If the doctrine was indeed still the law, we could have had a three-morning segment on the Today Show to blast back at the lies from Ms. Kelley.

I say, YES INDEED!, bring back that "fairness doctrine". It will be the end of all liberals in the media.

Can none of you people recognize sarcasm?

No and its sad. Back in the good old days when there were real conservatives with a real sense of humor one didn't need to identify sarcasm, it was assumed. In fact the sarcasm tags started as a joke.

I have witnessed sharks descending on another bloody shark in the water and I'm glad your post reminded me that analogy.

If it's true that 3 of the 4 fired CBS executives plan to file suit over it, that would be a most amusing turn of event. CBS would then be forced to either go through the "discovery process" which would put the lie to the results of their "investigation" or have to negotiate huge settlements to keep it out of court, which, in effect, admits to the cover-up. I guess you could say CBS finds itself "between a Black Rock and a hard place".

If I were one of the executives in question, I'd be happy as a clam knowing that I could squeeze CBS for enough cash to provide for my grandchildrens' grandchildren.
