CBS is driven by ratings. The message they get when you communicate with them, is that you watch them. They don't care if you like them or hate them, if you find them honest or dishonest. All they want is eyes on the product.

They'll lie harder if that improves the ratings. Any attachment they have to truth and informing the public is the same sort of interest a carnival barker has in truth and informing the public. Viewers are rubes and marks, nothing more.

True....what I didn't mention is that in my 1st complaint I said I was giving them a month to play it straight. In the 2nd complaint I mentioned they had 2 weeks remaining to demonstrate they acknowledge their bias or off they go.

There will surely be a 3rd which will serve as a goodbye. I didn't watch for years until the run-up to Trump. It will be no problem to ignore them in the future.

And just as they ignored the middle of the country, and white voters in favor of coastal minorities, we boomers still have the numbers (and the money to spend supporting their advertisers v. millenials who don't have money to spend on anything.) Old media is deader than ever.

ABC This Weak signed off with a list of soldiers killed in action this week. While I haven't seen the end of every TW I have seen many and don't remember the In Memorium segment. They did it for years, but I sense a hiatus during the campaign.

I'd be happy to be corrected, but you know my suspicion.....now that a Republican is in the white house.
