CBS -- news or propaganda
CBS has been a suspect news organization since the days of Walter Cronkite and his anti war reporting on Vietnam. It was Cronkite who took news reporting from the facts to advocacy which the three major networks into promoters of liberalism. As this article articulates, CBS is so far in the tank for the liberals that they even withhold parts of interviews that may not fit the narrative du jour. What's frustrating about this state of affairs is the fact that the FAA, a government agency tasked with permitting these privately owned networks access to the public's airways, does not hold them accountable for this powerful advocacy journalism -- as it is supposed to. It is an established fact that journalists are overwhelmingly liberal and vote accordingly in elections. Again, were it not for the emergence of the internet, talk radio, and Fox News, conservatives would be trapped in the same prison of liberal ideas as those who watch CBS, CNN, ABC, NBC, and who are served by big city liberal papers like the Washington Post, NYTimes, LATimes and many others. While Republicans are out creating businesses that employ people and make the wheels of the economy turn, Democrats are busily doing their best to undermine the system in then guise of making nit more fair, or something. Still, the liberal paradigm has run its course. They have now run out of "other peoples' money" in pursuit of a level playing field and all the rest of the socialist dream world fantasies of the perfect society. Hopefully a Romney election can reverse the 80 year drift to more government, collectivism, and less individual freedom. Since the failure of the USSR provides a vivid example of where the liberal path eventually leads us, one has to wonder why so many want this solution.
