2. CBS and 60 minutes

3. add in the fact that the memos were a set up

remember the secretary saying that the CONTENT was accurate, but the documents themselves were faked?

why does Rather end his career with nary a whimper of protest? if CBS were "liberal", he'd have gone down swinging reporting on HOW they got FUCKED OVER, and WHO DID IT. but no, they just take their lumps.

i smell a Rove.

The white house knew the story was going to be broadcast and already had the smear campaign ready to go.

7. As Liberal as Their Corporate Overlords WANT Them to Be

and no more than that! This is the crux of the matter concerning the debate over 'liberal media': they're owned by mega-corporations. How do corporate executroids usually lean politically? Any questions? Editors and reporters are allowed very little wiggle-room in the stories they are allowed to cover, how they're slanted, and how often it's repeated.
