Are the Republicans trying to punish CBS?
There was the Reagan thing, but it got pulled. The Moveon ad was not played during the superbowl but I did see it later. Paul O'Neil was on 60 minutes.

hmmm...and now Janet's breast may bring them to their knees. It's a sad day for freedom.

2. CBS contributes much
money and propaganda to the GOP. I doubt that they would bite the hand that feeds them so generously.

4. GOP hasn't been making a lot of smart moves lately.
And vindictive punishment is the hallmark of BushCo.

11. Yes, and now Wilson is campaigning for US
I REALLY don't think RoveCo wants any of the big media outlets to turn on them.

12. revoking their license
and taking them off the air would limit their influence.

It would be beautiful if CBS did turn on them but I think they really are trying to be fair and balanced for real. 60 minutes is great. They did a great piece on the West Bank fence.

13. Must be local buys. I didn't see here in NYC tonight.
This is probably a very expensive local buy and the market is already converted.

However, I do see and here it a lot on CNN.

14. CNN rocks!
It rocks so much that Colin Quinn calls them Al Jazeera West and more than a few assholes call them the Communist News Network.

Well except for people like Wolf, he's a Bush whore.

And Rudi Bakthiar is hot!

15. Back around 1970, CBS was a bad thorn in the Repugs' side
Nixxon was heard to propose buying CBS so "we can get OUR story out." It's possible that there's some residual hatred left from that era (error), but it's more likely that the Pugs just want to punish any outlet that even LOOKS like it's getting out of line.

It's been a sad day for Freedom since 12/12/2000, y'know.
