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.

Why Conservatives hate CBS's 60 Minutes

Okay, CBS and all the other so-called MSM (Mainstream Media) are in the tank for the democrat party.  This is not news, has been the case for ever and blossomed after Walter Cronkite decided in the late '60's that it was okay for news reporters, stations and the networks to take sides in "important" political issues of the day.  Since that time the liberal bias of the media has flowered to the point we now see on display in this 60 Minutes interview of Obama by Steve Croft over the weekend.  Conservatives have a hard time getting their message and the truth out when all these media outlets are this blatantly in the tank for the opposition. In this interview, Obama, who along with Joe Biden has been running all over the country blaming the Bush Administration for the financial meltdown of '08, is not asked by Croft to account for the fact the legislation enabling the deregulation of derivatives and the like to take place occurred during the Clinton Administration -- not the Bush Administration -- with the full support of the congressional democrats.  So much for the veracity and truth seeking by these MSM reporters.  Like all liberals (and Communists, and Muslims, by the way) outright lying and the omission of the truth in the promotion of a greater good is morally acceptable and even desirable. This point is usually overlooked when accounting for media bias, however it is the primary reason why no liberal is trustworthy.  Some refer to this particular tactic as moral relativism, which is as good an explanation as any.
