EYES OFF CBS

That's why she'll get the buyout if she's pushed. She and Burkett are scapegoats. He's a nut but she'll need money, and she'll get it. No way Dan Rather sawed off the trunk side of his branch with only their say so. He is covering more than his own ass. Mapes knows it.

[Anti-Bubba182]

They would be wise to be very generous.

I'm getting tired. I meant a 527 organization.

I appreciate the huzzahs.

Like I said, I made them for the cause. Click on my name and there's some other things I've made. I don't know about all that legalese stuff, but if it helps keep the hippie trash out of the White House then my job is done. Do what y'all can with them.

former President George H.W. Bush yesterday told an audience in Ohio, "This disgraceful thing with CBS, trying to malign our son's service as a jet pilot, was insidious."

LOL, I'm right there with you JoJo.

Do what y'all can with them.

Will do. Thanks again for the great material.

"Wise?" Who's giving odds?

[JoJo Gunn]

You're welcome.

MistyCA, see posts 3 and 36.

[JoJo Gunn]

How about this?

[Paleo Conservative]

Excellent!

[MistyCA]

Cool! I will pass it around! :)

[MistyCA]

Jojo, you need to do a little signature block on your work. Just because! You have turned out some fantastic stuff and you should forever have credit. :)

Here's mine (I think I invented it!):

See?BS!

Here's one I want to make into a bumper sticker:

FNC Fox The Mainstream Media

Sounds like there are some conservative Senior that were still watching c-BS and dan RATher got fed up at last.

[bvw]

It will drop further. A lot. A person simply can not watch something so fundamently discordant. The discordancy is well-known now. Rather makes up stories, he doesn't care enough for his audience to share truth with them. That's very disenheartening to the viewers, and it is no longer possible for them to droop their own comfortable wool over their eyes to avoid knowing it. The only avaiable comfort now -- that's in tuning Rather, and CBS too, out.

[Republic]

All true.

But Dan Rather is more than a reporter, a talking head as it were, on the CBS Evening News.

He is the EDITOR IN CHIEF of the CBS evening news program and is RESPONSIBLE for making sure whatever he spews is factual.

He fell down on HIS JOB (again).

And for Mapes to carry the full blame for his demonstrates that Dan Rather has a huge absense of the 'courage' he is always talking about....pathetic. Hiding behind a producer he has known for a long time.

Stand up DAN, and take it like a MAN.

oooops...I forgot myself....liberals have a hard time with the 'man' thingie....change the man to 'metro-sexual girlie man', a more accurate, and Dan knows accurate (lol) title for Dan.

Starting today, our local newsradio station (WNIS, Tidewater Virginia) is dropping CBS NewsRadio in favor of ABC Radio. Program director Tony Macrini cited CBS's loss of journalistic professionalism and loss of credibility as an objective news source.

I personally wished they'd picked up Fox News instead, but Macrini specifically stated he wanted to avoid the "right wing radio" image, and ABC radio scores high among the demographics the station is targeting.

We're winning, folks. Thank you, Buckhead and Free Republic!

[Miss Marple]

Op-ed in NYT this morning by Rather says all he did was read the story and Andrew Heyward was overseeing it!

The circular firing squad continues!

[The Real Eddie01]

You would expect viewership to increase considering peoples morbid obsession with train wrecks.

Just a thought.

[laredo44]

The only reason the viewing numbers are as high as they are is because carnival lovers like me are temporarily tuning in to shake our heads in wonderment as the "newsfreak" tries read the news and act as if nothing has changed.
