Do you have some memos typed in Times New Roman to back up this claim?

I'd just as soon see Rather stay.

Getting rid of him only gives the illusion that SeeBS has cleaned up its act and can once again be trusted as a source for news.

The fact of the matter is, SeeBS's bias is systemic. Getting rid of Rather and a few producers will do nothing to change its deceptive ways.

Stay tuned? You just made a major claim. Back it up here on FR.

Are you trying to advertise your own blog? Is that why you excerpted it and put a second link?

Being honest and up front would work much better.

This is not exactly a surprise.

The wording of the report makes it pretty obvious he was forced out.

You provide a link to your website ... which has absolutely NO supporting information.

The poster provides NOTHING to back up the claim. That may suffice for the MSM - but it don't cut it here.

He seems to be a Drudge wannabee ... without sources.

The fact of the matter is, SeeBS's bias is systemic.

Today, they turned over (De)Face the Nation to Ted Kennedy to spew his liberal bile, and refused to allow any Republicans on the show to rebut.

CBS Nixed White House Request to Rebut Kennedy

Sounds "fair and balanced" to me! /sarc

If you click on the link, he has no additional supporting information. Which means this claim doesn't pass muster.

This is a worse offense. It's a claim of breaking news ... without the news.

It's one thing to plug your opinion on a blog. It's another to say you have a news scoop - and then do nothing to back up the claim.

But hey, maybe this is some dude who was laid off from Debka...
