"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."

There's a lie. "Decision" was clearly misspelled. No way to get around that.
"Clearly we have to be more careful when downloading material," CBS said, calling the incident a "cautionary tale" about the risks of Internet content.
Mostly they're upset they were caught. Surfing the net and pulling down your favorite funnies is just plain unprofessional at best. Utterly partisan, divisive, and a lie to say that they are objective reporters.
"Clearly we have to be more careful when downloading material," CBS said, calling the incident a "cautionary tale" about the risks of Internet content.
CBS lies, of course.
One suspects most strongly that this was intentional, and done in order to have big laughs at the next "news" person "holiday" cocktail pahtee.
(The big joke is that CBS just managed to erode its vanishing credibility that much farther.)
Clearly, what CBS does not understand is that trust is easily lost, and that trust is practically impossible to regain.
And also, that insulting viewers with childish pictorial demonstrations of romantic left wing bias proves OUR point beyond any doubt.

“Desision Points”.
That’s racist. They’re making fun of the President just because he’s black!
Oh. ... Never mind.
Apparently, the practice of so-called journalism in CBS doesn’t change from the time of Dan Rather. Have pre-conception idea about Dubya, and run a material, any material, that ‘confirms’ their idea. There is no doubt that whoever staff that downloaded the cover agreed with the subtitle, so s/he was not suspicious about the tone of it.
CBS News clearly needs a new motto.
Here are some ideas:
“The Hoaxy Network!”
“All The Hoaxes Fit to Broadcast!”
“All Hoaxes, All The Time!”
“No Hoaxes left Un-Broadcast!”
The president bussh be stuopid nad him lieing all the time so that why i vote foro barak osama becasue him give me mony. he promis me. i remeber acause i was teeching my 3rd grade class how bad the bush was and now evrything beter with osama. if it wernt’for cbs telling truth, racists white peeple would put minororitys in jail.
