I think the bigger motivating objective of CBS News (and NBC, ABC, CNN, PBS, NPR, AP, etc.) is the ability to manipulate public opinion and the political process - not necessarily to earn a profit. It's about power first, and money second

I think that's almost right.

I think there is a larger "entertainment" industry that controls and directs these "news" organizations.

The entertainment industry needs its consumers to be passive, dependent, and in need of stimulation.

It just so happens that these ideal entertainment consumers make good Democrats.

The function of MSM "news" is to increase feelings of helplessness and dependency.

The goal of their leashholders is economic and social, to change citizens into consumers and to make those consumers passive and open to programming.

It's much bigger than dan rather.

I just read an article from Talon News by Jeff Gannon that fits in with that.

He said, "I'm really ashamed of what my daughter has become. She's a typical liberal. She went into journalism with an ax to grind, and that was to promote radical feminism."

In commenting on the Wednesday's 60 Minutes show, he said, "It was a farce, it was fraud. I'm sorry as a father that my daughter was the producer of it."

He goes on more in the article. He sounded to be to be truly ashamed of her and what she is doing.
