CBS Airs Hoax Cover of Bush Memoir
Fox News ^ | 12/22/10 | Fox News

Posted on 12/22/2010 1:52:08 PM PST by Robwin

"CBS News aired a fake cover of former President George W. Bush's memoir over the weekend, after a staffer apparently got duped by a hoax image floating around the Internet...The title of the Bush book read: "Desision Points ... How I Managed to Go Eight Years Without Making One Good Decision."

Save for the title and subtitle, the cover image looked similar to that of the real book, "Decision Points."

“Decidering Points” would have actually been pretty funny. ;o)

But FOX news needs to be forced into compliance with the high journalistic standards of See BS.

It is evident that the networks and their talking heads no longer understand the difference between news and comedy.

Unfortunately, they also no longer have the faintest idea what is funny.

One of the highlights during his presidency was CBS’ owned Dan Rather’s efforts to prevent him from being re-elected... Now, it is them again who did this... In any case, this might turn out to be free publicity for the book.

"Clearly we have to be more careful when downloading material," CBS said, calling the incident a "cautionary tale" about the risks of Internet content.

These idiots download an image which is obviously fake, and put it on the air, then they talk about "the risks of Internet content". Oh, the irony.

It was also a CBS show that put this on the screen.

A cautionary tale on the risks of the internet?

CBS - a Safe House for delusional liberals who pretend they are ‘journalists’ and ‘objective’ while acting as the unpaid PR arm of the Democrat party. Their elitist hatred for anyone remotely considered ‘conservative’ is legendary and disgusting. Dan Rather was their star and his utter contempt for truth and fairness led to his downfall, while President Bush enjoyed a two terms in office, despite ongoing attempts by CBS to destroy his presidency. Apparently, CBS is still a hotbed of hatred and so deserves it’s well-earned ignominy.

The FCC is working right now to clean up the internet, and then everything will be all right. No problem that a little more regulation can't fix.

There’s no excuse for what CBS Snooze did. The subtitle can hardly be read but the deliberate misspelling of “Decision” as “Desision” should have been a huge clue to the staff that that was not the right cover to display.

They just can’t get over it.

Other than that, Mrs. Lincoln, how did you like the play?

I think we should BUY CBS and turn it into an ultra right wing, religious network.
