CBS News Covers Tracks After Pro-Obama Merchandise Store Revealed

As reported by the Blaze earlier today, CBS News's online store is selling seven different Obama-related items, but complementary Republican merchandise is suspiciously absent. The online store includes paperback and hardback copies of Obama's memoir, "Dreams From My Father," and five memorabilia books and DVDs of his campaign and election.
When the Blaze looked into the matter, CBS News had even dedicated an entire tab of its store to the president. The category has since been removed, but searching "Obama" in the online store still returns all the merchandise. When the items are clicked on, though, shoppers are redirected to the online store's home page. Such activity raises the question of why seven different pro-Obama items were for sale alongside CBS News mugs, tote bags, and t-shirts, while not a single piece of Republican merchandise can be found in the store.
Before the separate "Barack Obama" tab was taken down, a note at the bottom of the page read,
CBS News t-shirts and CBS News hoodies will show you’re a true newshound. And don’t forget all the latest DVDs and books with historical significance. Choose from 60 Minutes Barack Obama DVDs, Barack Obama books and other timely tales with national importance.

CBS is trying to give the appearance of being fair - AFTER being caught. It's still Dan Rather's network...

I don't believe a word of this tripe. CBS is the gold standard in journalistic integrity. They would never do anything biased and shady like this.

Was an inflatable Obama love doll one of the products? Probably not...CBS probably kept those in reserve as their Christm...er, “holiday” gift to all CBS employees.

Nope, I checked. No inflatable products. However, there is an ‘exercise video’ that teaches one to bend over and take it up the bum. /s

Not to worry, soon it will be reduced to a pure LIQUIDATION SALE.

CBS recognized Obama voters as chumps and sought to take advantage of the situation. That's how I'd spin it.
