How Come CBS is the ONLY one reporting about the Enron Tapes?
How come Drudge isn't reporting it or MSNBC or CNN? CBS is,IMO the best in the business.

8. CBS News is an independent department
completely separate from the entertainment CBS. This isn't the case with the other networks.

4. CBS/Westinghouse wants Bush gone?
Westinghouse is one of the major nuclear defense contractors. CBS and to a lesser degree, NBC, are the only stations critical of Bush. FOX/CNN are all-pro-Bush, all the time. ABC/Disney is keeping its head down.

9. Disney/ABC is a very wide target to lots of people, Eisner is in trouble
Eisner has been facing a "shareholders revolt", and Disney is a flashpoint of controversey since they "own" so much of American culture. Eisner doesn't want to upset the right wing because it can and does hurt their bottom line.

5. I don't know why but
I sent them an e mail thanking them for finally someone doing reporting that exposes the corruption going on with the White Houses knowledge and approval. I told them a democracy needs media that reports the truth not hides it. They have a responsibility, and how they carry it out affects this country.
