CBS lined up gun control supporters on Wednesday's CBS Evening News and Thursday's CBS This Morning. Chip Reid and Major Garrett played 11 soundbites from President Obama and other Democrats, as well as family members of the Newtown massacre victims. The only gun rights supporter that the two correspondents could find was Chuck Grassley. Reid played two clips from the Republican senator during his reports.
Reid led his second report by hyping how "forces opposed to gun control proved that they are still in control here in Washington". Garrett sounded like a stenographer for the White House as he reported on the "somber and frustrated" President's press conference after the Senate votes.
Anchor Scott Pelley led the Wednesday evening newscast with the "major breaking story out of Washington" – that the U.S. Senate had "scuttled" gun control legislation. Pelley wasted little time before playing the first clip from Obama decrying the rejection of the gun control legislation as "a pretty shameful day for Washington", and added that "opponents of gun control are elated by the decision."
Reid then outlined that the Senate votes were a "major defeat" for gun control supporters, and echoed Pelley's earlier language about opponents: "It was a resounding victory for the powerful National Rifle Association and its supporters." The CBS journalist continued with a clip from Senator Grassley, but followed it with two sound bites from West Virginia Democrat Joe Manchin, who sponsored one of the gun control proposals. He ended his first report by reading a statement from another liberal politician: "Democratic Senator Richard Blumenthal of Connecticut said today, 'This is the saddest day of his years in public life.'"

Most of the news from the Obamanation Administration centers around topics that are designed to be just another Obamanation Smokescreen to divert the attention away from Obama managing each new Constitutional Crisis into a Regulation that violates the Constitution.
“Never let a Crisis go to waste,” is the rule that guides Commie Obama.
Examples of these Obamanation distractions are most of the social issues that get attention by the Liberal Agenda Media.
Our sorry Congressional RINOs have been to stupid to learn this smoke and mirrors distraction game, and run from bargain to bargain or deal to deal, with nary a thought to use REGULAR ORDER, as designed by our Founding Fathers to protect us from Tyrants such as B. Hussein Obama.
As any card-carrying Obamanation Journalist will tell you:
” - - - We must support Obama “ - - - TO FUNDAMENTALLY CHANGE THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA - - - ” into a totally Regulated Communist Obamanation of Debt and Doom.
After all, how else can “- - - everyone get a fair shot?” - - - “
BTW, RECEIVING a “fair shot” would have been a lot easier if Commie Obama had succeeded in his personal recent attempted “bipartisan” destruction of the 2nd Amendment to disarm us - - - - .
I'm not celebrating this so called victory.
It's not over.
Major Garret is at See BS? I did not know that.
I want a bumper sticker that says, “DOES EVERTHING HAVE TO BE ABOUT OBAMA?”)
Who cares?
CBS has been anti-gun since the 1960s. I rememeber too many shows with anti-gun statements in them.
When California had a vote (Prop 15) to ban handguns, CBS had an hour long anti-gun segment the night before hoping to sway the vote and get a ban. The ban failed.
Yay- We’re in for a 4 year whine-a-thon by the left
I really don’t give a rip about what Always Broadcast Communism (ABC), Communist Broadcasting System (CBS), Communist News Network (CNN), or Nothing But Communism (NBC) have to say about anything. They’re nothing but propaganda shills for the Donkey socialists/Marxists and RINO establishment elites.
