>A 2012 sting nabbed 5 Occupy Wall Street protesters, foiling their plot to blow up an Ohio Bridge. Two separate ISIS-inspired bomb plots have been disrupted in Queens, New York this year alone. So naturally, when CBS’ Limitless needed a terrorist organization to build and detonate a dirty bomb, they chose one of the left’s favorites: an anti-government “militia.” Although the episode doesn’t explicitly call the group racist, they are a “hate group” named after Nathan Bedford Forrest, a Confederate Civil War general who later “served as the first grand wizard of the Ku Klux Klan.” It doesn’t take a...

Last night in Los Angeles as our economy burned, President Barack Obama continued along his record-setting fundraising pace (events, not cash raised) with a stop among the glittery Top 1% at a LGBT fundraiser that included Ellen Degeneres, Cher, Chaz Bono, and CBS Corp. CEO and chairman Les Moonves. Part of what Moonves does is oversee the CBS News division, which makes the fact that he attended a political fundraiser fascinating, but not as fascinating as what he told The Los Angeles Times: "CBS chief Les Moonves and his wife, Julie Chen, waited patiently for their wristbands. Obama, Moonves said,...

Billed as the Commander in Chief Republican presidential debate, the CBS/National Journal foreign policy debate fell flat. Sitting inside Wofford College’s Friendship Hall, I got to witness the pre-show and commercial break activity the rest of America missed. When CBS anchor Scott Pelley introduced himself to the audience around 7:30pm he came across as a stuck up snob and somehow you knew the show wasn’t going to be great. Talking in a professorial tone, Pelley told the audience if they wanted to take pictures “do it now” so you won’t distract us during the debate with your flashes. National Journal’s...

At least one broadcast network and one Web site said Monday that they could foresee signaling to viewers early Tuesday evening which candidate appeared to have won the presidency, despite the unreliability of some early exit polls in the last presidential election. A senior vice president of CBS News, Paul Friedman, said the prospects for Barack Obama or John McCain meeting the minimum threshold of electoral votes could be clear as soon as 8 p.m. — before polls in even New York and Rhode Island close, let alone those in Texas and California. At such a moment, determined from a...

October 15, 2008 Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania Today, KDKA Radio in Pittsburgh, PA, the oldest radio station in the country, and a CBS affiliate, censored Kevin Miller, one of its conservative talk show hosts while he was on the air.

Bias – The Issue – has become the great red herring of political argument. But it's worse and more serious than just a distraction, albeit an obnoxious one. The omnipresent charge of bias has become an embedded obstacle to normal give and take about politics, culture and current events. The word-weapon "bias" is now a structural bar to communication and dialogue between people who don't belong to the same right-thinking affinity group. ~snip~ While we all aren't promiscuous bias-blamers, this is no caricature of what it's like for many people who are involved in politics, working at universities, journalists or...

It’s been a tough slog for old media of late. CBS NEWS and Dan Rather were nabbed by the new media as they attempted to use fraudulent documents to harm the president’s re-election chances. NBC Nightly News anchor Tom Brokaw blasted the new media for pointing out the CBS smear job saying, “There's a political jihad against Dan Rather and CBS,” and adding “It's an attempt to demonize CBS news. It's a demagoguery unleashed on the Internet.” Dan Rather proved willing to even use fraudulent documents to help John Kerry. ABC NEWS Political Director Mark Halperin recently sent a memo...

CBS 60 Minutes Hit Piece on BushThis should be enough to put a LOT of heat on CBS if you're willing to do the work.   Complain to CBS advertisers.  Most of these are advertisers that were involved with the 60 Minutes slam on Bush, but hey, complain to them and ask for them to pull their advertising from the Bush Hating CBS...

As many of you know, CBS recently ran a two part series on homeschooling that was outrageously bias and misleading. Today, it has been reported that they are planning a TV movie that will smear Ronald Reagan. We have put up with Rather for so long but enough is enough. CBS needs to be held accountable to the truth. We need to do something. Free Republic is about grass-roots conservatism. Therefore, I propose we create a website at www.boycottcbs.org. The domain is available and could be live in 24 hours. I am willing to put up the money for domain...
