Well, obviously there's plenty of other patently true reasons to knock CBS. But CBS is not the origin of that file - it's cryptome - so the post was inaccurate. It's distracting to post a false canard, there's no reason for it, and therefore I'm defending the quality of Free Republic, which is an honorable duty and in no way conveys any respect to CBS. It's just a matter of self-respect.
Same with the blue dress and Dan Rather&Mapes screwing the journalistic ethics.
They CARED about Bush "maybe" driving drunk - didn't care when Kennedy killed a young women when driving drunk. CBS covered the Pentagon papers - and every major military scandal up to and including foreign prisons for Muslims. They give a quick pass to any dem scandals - from money in freezers to pols on the take in New Orleans.
Rush just posited the possibility that Tiger was a conservative BASED ON the fact that the suck up networks are going after him. Dems get passes for any sexual perversions - look at the czars. Teach children to "fist" - no problem - no story.
Look at Larry Flynt - whispers he molested his own daughter - but he's a dem hero and the MSM doesn't touch him... ( no creepy pun intended). Look how they handled researchers lying about the link between cancer and smoking. The MSM loved that leaker.
Switch it to leakers on the global warming scam and they hush up - they don't like the leakers, put a lid on it. IN short they cover anything that hurts Republicans and anything that helps dems.
