the "news" is going after CBS again
couldnt the fucking news media ask these questions OF THE IRAQ WAR AND THE INVASION, or say THE WHITE HOUSE USING TAXPAYER MONEY TOWARDS A COLUMNIST FOR PROPAGANDA?


But no. It;s CBS thats under fire.


This country is in trouble as long as the right wing media continues to dominate.

What about Fox news putting up a fake story on it's website? What about Fox news continually making false claims yet never being challenged?

wtf is going on?

DAVID BAUDER, AP Television Writer

NEW YORK - CBS hoped that the release of an independent probe of its ill-fated story on President Bush (news - web sites)'s military service, painful as it was, would at least lift the cloud over its news division. If only it were that simple. The report, and the network's response to it, left some questions unresolved:

Slideshow: CBS Fires 4 Over False Bush Report




_ How does CBS News President Andrew Heyward effectively lead when there's widespread surprise — including, undoubtedly, in his own shop — at how he kept his job when four others were fired for their roles in the news organization's worst embarrassment in years?


_ Can the news division change a culture that contributed to the sad comedy of errors without risking the journalism that made it great?


_ After a panel with a Republican former attorney general said it couldn't prove political bias and conservatives roundly rejected that, can peace ever break out between the network and its outside critics?

1. Er...should this person be fired for calling it a "False Bush Report"
Sounds like bad investigative reporting. Who do we write to turn him in? The Bush Memo was not proven to be false. It was just not authenticated, nor could it be because it had been copied a number of times.
