Audio: CBS reporters plot hit piece on GOP candidate Tape reveals news team scheming to find 'child molester' supporting politician Joe Miller Reporters from a CBS affiliate in Anchorage, Alaska, allegedly left a voicemail by mistake at the campaign of the state's Republican nominee for Senate, Joe Miller, in which the journalists can be heard plotting to "find" a "child molester" among the politician's supporters.

The reporters are also overheard hoping for violence against Miller so they can "send out a tweet" and Facebook alert that "Miller got punched" at a rally he held four days ago. The apparent accidental voicemail message was left on the cell phone of Miller's spokesperson, Randy DeSoto. In the recording, the assignment editor for the CBS Anchorage affiliate, KTVA, Nick McDermott, along with other reporters, can be heard openly discussing concocting the two stories about Miller. DeSoto says the voicemail message was later authenticated by McDermott himself, who sent a text to the Miller spokesman stating, "D--- iPhone … I left you a long message. I thought I hung up. Sorry." "Frankly, when I first heard this I was shocked," said DeSoto. "Though a bit garbled at times, there are disturbing comments in this conservation that never should have occurred."

According to the Miller campaign, another voice in the message was that of KTVA's news director. A recording of the audio can be heard below: (Story continues below)

In the first portion of the discussion, the CBS reporters are heard plotting to get a list of Miller campaign supporters in order to "find" a "child molester." "You have to find that one person," says the male reporter,

Just a reminder to everyone, Sarah Palin has worked for the Alaska television groups years ago, she knows what goes on from the inside, regardless of whatever spin CBS says about it being a conversation for all possibilities I know that Sarah has the sources to know what really happened. And I would go so far as to say there are probably a lot more Sarah Palin supporters now both here in Alaska and the lower 48 than before, she went on the offensive, she did it with beliefs, with intelligence and passion. Something this nation desperately NEEDS. We will vote for Miller, we will inform Ms Loser that its time for her to go somewhere else, she can stay inside the Anchorage liberalized and fortified castle. The rest of Alaska is past the city limits.The REAL Alaska. If there is any state more pissed off about liberal elitism I would like to hear of it. We chose to live our simple lifestyle, many that have moved here sacrificed a much more lavish lifestyle, and we don't need a Princess blaming us for her not getting her pony.

I don’t believe the liberal media.

It seems there's fierce competition this year for the Dan Rather/Mary Mapes “Fake but accurate” award.

KTVA news was on at 5 p.m. Alaska time.

They put the Miller story on page 12, so to speak, not mentioning the story until about 10 minutes into the newscast. The story simply said that KTVA denies the allegations of wrongdoing and they showed a statement by the station manager.

The funniest statement of the broadcast - the recording was genuine, but the allegations are not accurate. LOL

I was eagerly awaiting the new revised resurrection of Hawaii Five-0 on CBS. I have watched I think three episodes, every one pure junk, a total waste of time and basically its taking a shat upon the graves of the original series actors. I am on a rampage about CBS and I hope they catch sheer hell about this event against Joe Miller both locally in Anchorage and nationally. The Anchorage channel has barely achieved a second rate status, its video quality is the absolute worst. Someday soon I hope for a TV channel with news to start up here in Wasilla.Too much liberal bias from anything coming out of Anchorage.

Here’s the cool news, my friend. With a camcorder and the most basic of software, you can already do this with your computer and an Internet connection. Maybe you could branch out into broadcast television later.

In any case - my blessings to you. Don’t let the bastards grind you down.
