[Lacey]

...Top law enforcement officials at the Justice Department and the FBI indicated to their counterparts at the White House that they could not, and were unwilling to, return documents to the Louisiana Republican which were seized as part of a bribery investigation...

[Lacey]

Good thing the drive-by media has those fact checkers, right?

[OKIEDOC]

More Dan Slither FAKE BUT ACCURATE NEWS reporting.

[dmw]

It's cBS, what do you expect?

[DocRock]

Ping

[kjo]

NO. It's EXACTLY what I expect from CBS. Their hatred for all things Republican is once again on exhibit here.

Is it the kind of "mistake" a reporter could make? Sure, one working at the Peoria Record, maybe. CBS? Either it's a dilberate lie (most likely) or an unconscience wish.

[woodb01]

And this really surprises ANYONE?  The SHOCK the media got for the 2004 Election was that their anointed "front man," Dan Rather, got SLAUGHTERED!  All they are doing is carrying out their ORIGINAL 2004 plan

Let's not forget the WELL-DOCUMENTED, VERIFIABLE PLAN Democrats published, BEFORE the 2004 Elections, to WORK WITH THE MEDIA TO LIE TO THE PUBLIC AND ENGAGE IN WIDESPREAD MANIPULATION AND PROPAGANDA TO ATTACK AMERICA AND UNDERMINE BUSH!

Here is the original version of the story, in the WAYBACKMACHINE even though it has LONG been removed from the web site!

USA Today Reporter a (D) Operative - Phone Company Demands Retraction of NSA LIE

Why the NSA STORY is CRUCIAL to the TREASONOUS MEDIA

Why the Media Doesn't See its TREASON

Media miscues seem bulging with left-wing bias (The never ending media propaganda on behalf of the DNC)

[Diogenesis]

Checked it. It is true. cBS again.

[AmishDude]

Amazing.

So I guess CBS doesn't listen to Rush.

[no dems]

Doesn't matter; only lib dummies watch cBS anyhow.

[okie01]

...they could not, and were unwilling to, return documents to the Louisiana Republican which were seized as part of a bribery investigation.

Sure enough, there it is.

This is the kind of accuracy one can expect from a competently-edited and fully accountable medium that practices "professional journalism"...

Yeah, sure.

[saganite]

Good grief. What a bunch of imbeciles.

[OKIEDOC]

You got that covered for sure.

[PSYCHO-FREEP]

See BS has an average age audience of over 60. The last of the Kennedy Democrats. Rush's radio show has a larger daily audience than does See BS's evening news cast.

They are truly irrelevant and no longer have an effect on public opinion. Shucks, those geriatric Dems who still believe everything they see on the evening news are rapidly dying off. Most of them are in poor health and live on Soshul Sickurity. They also look to the Democrats to keep their housing, food and drugs coming....what a bunch of losers!

[Minus_The_Bear]

anybody have contact info for CBS?

[danamco]

Yep, and from a Freeper man, Buckhead!!!

[Kozak]

They are still busy working on the Bush Memo story.

[Brilliant]

"Inside the administration, Vice President Dick Cheney's office was pushing for the materials to be returned. Cheney's Chief of Staff David Addington argued internally that the search was questionable."



Cheney played right into CBS's hands. Looks like Cheney is trying to help another Republican cover up criminal wrongdoing.

[lowbridge]

bump

[MarkeyD]

I just emailed them a complaint. Go to the main page and go to the bottom of the screen. There is a link, 'Contact Us'.

[Brilliant]

Shouldn't have done that. They'll fix it. I'd rather lambast them.

[MarkeyD]

Try this

[Osage Orange]

Good grief. What a bunch of imbeciles.

That's what they want you to believe.

Truth is...they are calculating MarxistLeftistLyingDemoLib's.

[ChadGore]

Yup . .this is bad

---

(CBS/AP) Attorney General Alberto Gonzales and FBI director Robert Mueller signaled they would resign this week rather than give in to Congress in a dispute over an FBI raid on Rep. William Jefferson's Capitol Hill office, an administration official tells CBS News.

Top law enforcement officials at the Justice Department and the FBI indicated to their counterparts at the White House that they could not, and were unwilling to, return documents to the Louisiana Republican which were seized as part of a bribery investigation.

I get the feeling that the copy editors for CBS and the writers for the now defunked "West Wing" are the same person.

Write a liberal fantasy screen play, CBS will report it as news, and NBC will green light 13 episodes for next season.

[Young Werther]

Does the word obfuscate ring a bell?

[PSYCHO-FREEP]

Just remember, a headline made to their listeners/viewers, is accepted uncontested as fact. Most of them are so miss/uninformed, that they have no clue who Jefferson is and if the headline says he is a Republican, the idiot/dummies who watch See BS are convinced it is just another "Corrupt" Republican exposed by the media and they will not look into or for the facts themselves.

See BS knows this all too well and will not bother to issue a formal apology or correction. And it was done fully with that in mind because their audience is too ignorant to figure it out.

[mkjessup]

Hey give them time and they'll be re-writing history to paint Lyndon Johnson as a Republican.

[Diogenesis]

[Minus_The_Bear]

I just emailed a complaint:

In your story located at (http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2006/05/27/politics/main1662805.shtml) you refer to William Jefferson thusly... "...and were unwilling to, return documents to the Louisiana Republican which were seized as part of a bribery investigation."

Even most blogs are able to refer to the correct political affiliations of Representatives. I suggest investing in a fact checker or perhaps even proofreading your content before publishing.

But I suspect this rather more than a case of incompetence.

[razorback-bert]

William Jefferson D-La secretly switched parties during the night and only cbs got the story.

[saganite]

I sent them a note also. I wasn't as nice as you.

[Brilliant]

A better move would be to tell FoxNews about it.

[DocRock]

Screen Shot

[SkyDancer]

Just back from CBSNews.com .... still there. The way I see it is he crossed the aisle and now is a Republican making the whole affair a Republican scandal now .... see???

FLASHBACK

Dan Rather: "Mr. President, if only you knew how
much I and your other servants at CBS support, worship, bow, grovel and kneel to you.
We will NEVER let American forces hurt you. Trust us.
We have faithfully covered up all your atrocities, Mr. President. In their place we attack our Bush,
for you will forever know that CBS is forever with you, Mr. President."

Terrorist-Murderer Saddam: "Mr, Rather, it is absolutely remarkable that you girly men at CBS
repeatedly betray your own country.
Do you realize, Mr. Rather, that for millions of Iraqis who were my captives
I previously had to gang rape each man's child and each man's wife,
and then burn them each of them in nitric acid and muriatic acid,
and then mutilate them by cutting off at an ear or their genitals,
or by forcing them to watch my sons push their raped children through a wood shredder.
But even then, Mr. Rather, I got only get a fraction of YOUR obedience and loyalty.
Thank you, Mr. Rather. CBS is truly Allah's and our faithful Baathist's messenger in our Jihad."

[Hardastarboard]

My FRiend, you're just plain out wrong. I have it on good report from Truthout, Daily Kos and a place called Democratic Underground that the media is controlled by the "Right Wing". I pretty much believe everything that they tell me, of course.

[Brilliant]

The whole article is written to make it look like the Republicans are sticking up for a crooked Republican.

[Brilliant]

Capture the whole article for posterity. The whole article is written to make it look like Republicans are defending their own crooked GOP member of Congress.

[Minus_The_Bear]

I have. I have full size screenshots in additions to mirror backups of the entire article page in question.

[Brilliant]

You complained a half an hour ago, and the article has not yet been corrected. Now we've established intent.

[saganite]

Next step is to forward it to all the talk show hosts. They should be able to get some mileage out of it.

[DocRock]

They are still trying to figure out why that Rep. in front of his name doesn't mean Republican.

Idiot Reporters...

[JeffersonRepublic.com]

Dan Rather lives on as a news editor.

[khnyny]

"A better move would be to tell FoxNews about it."

True, but I think Rush would have more fun with this one.

See BS really is pond scum. Entertaining pond scum though. It would be fun to be a fly on the wall at one of their "meetings", and watch them congratulate one another on their cleverness at "sticking it to the Bush admin". Too dumb for words.

[MarkeyD]

I also printed (both the web and print version) into pdfs.

[Lacey]

Any bets on if they get around to making the correction, they just take out Republican and don't identify him as a democrat, just a representative from Louisiana?

[NilesJo]

Looks like CBS is still sending their trainees to the "Dan Rather-Mary Mapes School of Advocacy Journalism"! LOL!

[Cementjungle]

I have. I have full size screenshots in additions to mirror backups of the entire article page in question

They still haven't corrected it. When they do they'll probably just drop the "republican" and make everyone guess (for those who don't know).

Amazing.

[Liberty Valance]

Unbelievable. Will they issue an apology? /sarc/
