CBS goes to ground over claims it buried anti-Obama stories
NY Post ^ | October 28, 2014 | By Sophia Rosenbaum

CBS honchos stuck their heads in the sand Monday rather than address a former veteran reporter’s memoir that revealed how the network routinely canned stories it perceived as anti-Obama.

Everyone from network CEO Les Moonves to “Evening News’’ anchor Scott Pelley to former “Evening News’’ Executive Producer Patricia Shevlin ignored repeated phone calls and e-mails from The Post seeking comment on the bombshell claim by ex-CBS investigative ace Sharyl Attkisson.

A secretary for David Rhodes, president of CBS News, immediately volleyed a Post reporter’s phone call to company spokeswoman Sonya McNail. Before the reporter could even ask a question, McNair curtly said, “We decline to comment. Thank you. Bye.”

Fake, but accurate. If only someone could fit that mantra within the CBS logo.

“The cruel irony was that Goldwater would be targeted for extermination if the Nazis had their way because his father was Jewish.”

Interesting. I wasn’t born yet, so that’s news to me.

I love how the little tidbit about Joe Kennedy, the father, was a Nazi supporter. So much so that he was recalled from his ambassadorship from England.

So on top of being the party of slavery, the RATS are the party of Nazis. Why arent these facts being reported?

CBS also turned over journalist James Sanders and his wife to the FBI when Sanders presented them with evidence of a Clinton coverup of the TWA 800 disaster.

You know they wouldn't do that if someone brought evidence of a Bush coverup of Iraq.

Not to mention walter cronkite and the sabotage of our troops in Vietnam.

Or the blowing up of trucks to sabotage Ford (Not Gerald, the car company)

I’ve got a paper copy and a copy on a disk but I wouldn’t know how to post it.

I’m not exactly Mr. Computer.

When the doc was made public NewsMax had it and Rush read it on the air.

I was amazed that Rush found it mildly amusing but didn’t have the slightest clue what he was holding in his hand.

In my book when Rush talks about “Low Information Voters’ he needs to look in a mirror.

I guess people reading the doc didn’t understand it or assumed the terrorist were just carrying out attacks based on what was in the news instead of the news being orchestrated for the attacks.

Sorry, that one (the pickup trucks) was NBC, and Chevy trucks.

That just helps confirm that it’s not just the one network, mind you.

Nothing new. They have been doing it for decades.

I agree, the evidence is overwhelming that the media is not only biased to the Left, but actually involved in activism for and in support of the Left. There are dozens of examples daily - what's funny is that they pretend that they are not very biased - quite amusing actually.

“media sold out, completely…..”

They stopped being news organizations years ago; now only for entertainment and pushing the progressive agenda on those in the audience who are susceptible.

You know, the democrat voting block of low IQ voters.

An idiot’s vote cancels out mine. Heck, an illegal vote cancels mine as does the dead man’s vote.

That actually makes more sense!

The alphabet media are all in it together.

(Sorry for the faulty memory. My heart was in the right place, even if my brain wasn’t! LOL!)

>"I would love to see a price tag affixed to all the network campaigning that's been and is being done, I'm sure it would violate some FEC rules."

Laws are for little people and republicans.

Seriously though , the Reps are in in just as deep as the Dims! Why do the R's gladly walk into the hornet nest/lions den every time for the prez debates?

I'm pretty sure Rush would mod one pro bono if they asked him, and the ratings would break all the neilson boxes because they can't go past eleven.
