Ah, their lack of bias is refreshing! Right...

You can't make this stuff up. In Canada, even the CBC would be more careful to disguise its bias.

I enlarged it but couldn't read it either. Charles, do you have a picture that shows that sign clearly?

AG: there are phone numbers below "CBS News Path". I have another closeup photo with the numbers clearly visible, and I'm debating with my evil twin whether to post it.

How can you tell the material is displayed proudly?

All thanks to Communists For Kerry, by the way.

... and a copy of Manufacturing Consent on the passenger seat.

POST IT! POST IT POST IT!

Reveal the source!

"The only bush i trust is my own."

are we holding news van drivers etc to the same standard we're holding their journalists

It's more a sign that bias is pervasive and acceptable at CBS.

And if I understand it correctly (from seeing news crews a lot at a hospital where I worked), when a news van goes out it has a reporter, and a cameraman, a sound guy, andsometimes a producer. I doubt they spend money on a driver.

Posting phone numbers is DU and Zunigaish.

I can only chuckle at the assertion that the "story" was put forth in good faith!
Dan Rather has become nothing more that an angry old man who sees the proverbial sun setting on him and his honor.

As it was written:

Basically the story is about humans who think they know what is good. It begins with Balaam on his way to curse the Israelites at the request of Balak, the king of Moab. As the result of a mystical intervention the curse turns into a blessing for the Israelites. Along the way Balsam's long trusted she-ass "sees" a threatening angel of God and being devoted as only a she-ass could be, she stops in an attempt to protect Balaam. Outraged by the donkey's unwillingness to move forward, Balaam beats his loyal animal. This repeats itself three times until finally the she-ass talks to Balaam asking him, "What have I done that you beat me three times?" With no remorse Balaam answers, "You have made a mockery of me! If I had a sword I would kill you!" The reply from the donkey, "I am the donkey that you have been riding all along until this day! Have I been in the habit of doing this to you?" Balaam just answers NO, without apology nor surprise in the wondrous talents of the she-ass. It seems clear that Balaam, a man of great power, with the gift of vision, is unable to see what is apparent to a simple donkey.

#44, Cato the Elder. There at first I thought you were talking about Paris Hilton, then I went back and read your top line.

One thing to consider when displaying any type of printed message, i.e. "the only bush I trust is my own," when using a vehicle owned by a company or news organization, is that it can be interpreted by the public as the official view of said company or news organization regardless of who placed the printed material there.

So the argument of the driver not being able to express his or her self while on the CBS clock, in a CBS news van while in the public eye is weak.

Several reactions:

2. Forget about it, let's get back to talking about issues

3. Calls for CBS to reveal the source (confident it will be shown to be Rove)

4. Lots of moonbats checking in, asking "wha? Who's Burkett? Good guy or bad guy?"

5. A rare voice of sanity saying, this looks bad for CBS and isn't going to reflect well on JFK

"Look at Mr. Buckhead first and all roads will lead to KKKRove."

"I'd bet money on it! This SMELLS just like something KKKRove would do. His hands ARE all over this. Mark my word."

"But the right has labeled him as mentally unstable. Long before this. That might be true. If he knew these were forgeries and lied and pushed them on Rather, that's inexcusable. If he was lied to by his "source" (Rove?) then that's a different story."

" I'm thinking he "re"-created them either because he did not want to release the originals or because he doesn't have the originals but wanted to make sure what was in them got into the mainstream. "

"I think there is MORE to this story...and all this attention surrounding it...it sure would be EXCELLENT if Rove was outed as the "source" or someone close to him was the source and then the whole WEB of connections come out again...but they wanted this...so lets hope cbs finishes with a bang"

#32, Lurksalot

Hannity is a commentator. He does commentary, not news. There should be a difference.

Fox does do news but Hannity doesn't do it and doesn't claim that he does. Ra^ther and friends are "news," or so they would have us believe. They shouldn't do commentary.

What a wonderful catastrophe for the Partisan media just prior to a Bush election victory! I have been waiting for C-BS to step into something ever since I read STOLEN VALOR (by B.G. Burkett-no relation to the Burkett caught up in the scandal right now!) and read about the "Wall Within" Michael Moore style Docu-smear Rather and C-BS ran hitting our Vietnam era Veterans with even more mis-representations and infamy back in 1988. The mask has slipped and the donkey is desperate to pull it back into place and make this all go away!! They are Doomed!!

Wait, couldn't the sign just be anti-lesbianism as opposed to anti-incumbent president? Just a thought...

According to Rush, CBS is saying that Burkett was not the ultimate source but somebody else, if you can believe it, passed the memos to Burkett who then passed them on to CBS. (It must have been Karl Rove... BRAHAHhahahaha).

#1 Laserjock ..the van belongs to CBS, not the driver and it is clear that they have rules about what can be displayed on their vans and what they wink at.

Hey all, does anyone else find the use of the President's last name and Vice President's first name in "clever" little obscene puns adolescently vulgar? Or am I just an incredible prude?

It wasn't Rove, it was Hillary!

From the AP story:

"The documents were said to be written by Lt. Col. Jerry B. Killian, indicating he was being pressured to "sugarcoat" the performance ratings of a young Bush, then the son of a Texas congressman, and that Bush failed to follow orders to take a physical. Killian died in 1984. "

Senior Bush was not a Texas Congressman at the time of the forged Killian memos. Another piss poor piece of journalism and partisan reporting on the part of AP. No wonder journalists are starting to get the same respect as used car salesmen, lawyers and UN delegates.

#83 Caryn

I must be prude too, how about the Secretary of State's first name.

Anyone miss Jonah Goldberg's delightful acidulous column on Danny Boy's escapades? Here's a taste.

'"I don't back up. I don't back down. I don't cave when the pressure gets too great from these partisan political ideological forces."

'He added: "This is not about me. . I recognize that those who didn't want the information out and tried to discredit the story are trying to make it about me, and I accept that."

'What a hero. What a paladin for truth, justice and the American way. Here's the problem: Rather isn't standing up to partisan political forces. Indeed, among the forces that have been most energetic in making Rather look ridiculous are the Washington Post and ABC News. The New York Times and NPR haven't been as good, but they have hardly ignored the fact that Rather shot himself in the foot and kept holding down the trigger as he worked his way up his body.'

Linky!

So, let's see if I understand moonbat logic.

A foaming Bush-hater (Burkett) accepts documents from Bush's right hand man (Rove) that, if real, are very damaging to Bush. Burkett never questions why a Bush loyalist would provide such documents, but hands them off to Dan Rather.

Obviously, critical thinking is not the strong suit of the left.

Caryn and bummer,

No, it's not just you. What passes as political discourse of late is tiresome.

I guess The Enquirer is now more credible than CBS.

It would not be hard to imagine a LLL retort being
"Well, the Fox News people all wear Flag pins which obviously indicates support for Bush and the war. "

#102 smitty

Do you ladies actually talk to your...'you know whats'?

Have you heard of the "vagina monologues"?

Hi,

First post. Wonderful site. I discovered you along with the rest of the masses last week. Great job, Charles!

I'm an MSM manager (local affiliate, not national, not CBS). One of my credos is to bend over backward to be fair to those who least appear to deserve it.

So ... Is there any more information available about when, where, how this picture was taken? Who shot it? I'm particularly curious about the when. It would REALLY be arrogant if if this happened in the past week. But ... to ask a few questions that probably wouldn't occur to CBS (if it involved another organization) Can we rule out CBS being framed by someone wandering by, and sticking the sign in for a quick cheap shot? I'm not saying I think it was staged. Just wondering if anyone has details that might rule that out.

On one hand, it really isn't fair to judge such a large organization by the actions of one renegade live truck operator. You can have good policies and work your butt off to hire good people, and still end up with jerks on your staff who make idiotic decisions that reflect unfavorably on the organization.

On the other hand, if authentic, it really speaks to a lack of oversight by management. While I don't expect Andrew Hayward to walk through the parking lot each morning looking at the vehicle fleet, I WOULD expect a reporter or photographer riding along to say, "Are you crazy? You can't have that showing!" Says a lot about the culture there.

South Dakota is polling 60% for Bush (and look for it to increase.....imagine Tuuurrreeezzzzaaa in Chadron).

Appartently Daschle's attendence at the F911 screening didn't help him any.

One common trait with liberal Dems from the upper midwest is that they have Jykle and Hyde personalities. Liberal socialites while on the east coast, good old boy conservatives while visiting the home state.

Gist of the story? These two mental midgets had borrowed the guy's Dad's work van for the heist of the century, and kindly waited a couple of minutes to make their left turn out onto a busy road, giving me time to stroll over and casually write down the company name and 'phone number from the side of the van.

#1 Laserjock

Deveil's advocate - are we holding news van drivers etc to the same standard we're holding their journalists? Should there not be any polital bent at all for the arguably non-representative figures in these agencies?

I worked for a company that had hundreds of vehicles bearing the company logo.

Employees were not allowed to place anything in public view on or in the vehicle that had any political/idealogical/religious overtones. Banners rooting for the local sports team were similiarly disallowed.

The reason? The company had a PR department to make public statements reflecting its stance (if they had one) on any number of issues. The employees were entitled to hold any position they wanted; they just couldn't give the impression that it was the company's opinion.

An employee placing that sign in the front window leaves the impression that it is the company's opinion. Never mind that in this picture the driver seems to reflect CBS's view. The employee was hired to drive the van, not make policy statements.

And another point. Any employee in my company that was in a company vehicle or wearing a shirt with the company logo on it was a representative of the company. Just not one paid to make policy statements.

Heywards lie statement and a van with a message that tells it all-

“Nothing is more important to us than our credibility and keeping faith with the millions of people who count on us for fair, accurate, reliable, and independent reporting,” Heyward continued. “We will continue to work tirelessly to be worthy of that trust.”

CBS has no credibility, nor did they ever. There is no faith to keep and as far as being fair, accurate and reliable, this is an out and out lie! It is a f*cking OUTRAGE, that's what it is. We all know CBS deals in deception and bias not in truth. Their truth is so warped and perverse that they wouldn't know it if it hit them in the head.

To prove this as true, the picture in the front window of the CBS fan exemplifies their sickening agenda.

I can only hope their lies are pursued to the point where everyone is exposed at CBS and the DNC beyond.

Speaking of Hoo Hoos

CHARLES, check your email I just sent you some more photos of CBS bias that were sent to me from 'Che over at Communists for Kerry.

Posted in another thread, but it remains on-topic...

Now, CBS, Al-Qaeda, and Jesus support Kerry.

First post to you guys, you have given me sanity since raTHergate began. You will keep me sane through this election. Thanks -

Just wanted to let you know that I emailed 60 minutes II, demanding an apology to W and the Killian family, as well as the firing of Gunga Dan.

I was moved to do this by the many posts to this site about contacting CBS - I encourage others to do the same. It feels fabulous! (plus I don't like bitching about things without doing something about the problem...kind of like, um, voting...)

Alex

that YM blog was too much...the question is, too much what? It wasn't Funny...it was Frightening....that's our youth(albeit moonbat youth) out there spouting this illiterate gibberish!!! Do you trust the country's future to that???!!!

Anyone, isn't "Nattering Nabobs of Negativity" what Spiro Agnew called people with Anyone But Nixon syndrome? Sweet, Dan Rather has become his own worst Nixonian nightmare.

Charles,

Were these pictures taken in NYC. They sure as heck look like it (plus the CBS affiliate is Channel 2 - and note the Dave Price reference, which has extra weight in NYC since Price left Fox5 to join the CBS Early Show and CBS local affiliate to do weather and hosting duties).

#111 - good points, and if your credo were followed in this whole mess, CBS wouldn't be between a rock and a hard place. CBS looks primed for a shakeup, and it will be messy.

Hey Charles
Robert Lichter on Fox just said that the only difference between news organizations and bloggers is that news organizations have the ability to check out their sources.

Funny how the sources the MM used to prove they were bogus are the SAME sources that you published DAYS before.
DUHHH

and this differs from the other newstations how? Oh you mean because of the TIMING! Well, let's just fall into the trap of trying to spin like everyone else and then ignoring our own talents for it. know what i mean spin machine?

#138 alegrias:

LOL. I think you're right. i knew that it tickled a memory somewhere in the cobwebs of my mind.

Cam (#127),

LOL!

They denied it was a pellet gun, and so I pointed out on the side of it where it said "CO2".

Cam bright like sun.

#131 Correct.

The HR info given to us when hired (and in occasionally reminders sent out) are very specific about public contact and behavior.

What bugs me is that the CBS person who put that there apparently had no fear of disciplinary action.
Even within the company (no public contact), an employee puting a sexual reference in his/her cube would be talked to (and possibly fired if it was bad enough).

Perhaps CBS is more tolerant of individual political views than the factory in Alabama that fired Lynne Gobbell for having a Kerry/Edwards bumper sticker. If you notice, the sticker says "I trust", not "CBS trusts". Nowhere does it say that CBS is endorsing or condemning anyone, it is merely a personal expression of whomever was driving the van that day. It even looks like a simple piece of paper, not something as "permanent" as a sticker.

If expressing a personal opinion somehow invalidates your ability to report news, then LGF and indeed MOST of the lefty and righty weblogs would be guilty of the same-and equally invalid. There can be no doubt in anyone's mind how Charles feels about John Kerry, yet he continues to "report the news".

So which is it-does anyone else get to have and express an opinion, or only Charles?

The Other Les:

a couple of chattering collage age female mmonbats began discussing killing President Bush.

When I was in school, I once heard an Ed-school sophomore go on and on about all the Republicans she was going to kill. Then she couldn't get her new stereo set up without calling me for help.

Of course I refused, on the grounds that her expensive stereo contained components made from South African minerals.

#46 Globby

I read some of those comments at DU; as usual, pretty far-out shit. I wanted to reply, because one of them, "demfaithful," was trying to be levelheaded and common sensical, and was getting nowhere. I wanted to prop him (her) up. But when I saw this on the rules page, I decided it just wasn't worth the effort:
"We ban conservative disruptors who are opposed to the broad goals of this website. If you think overall that George W. Bush is doing a swell job, or if you wish to see Republicans win, or if you are generally supportive of conservative ideals, please do not register to post, as you will likely be banned."

Diversity Rules!! At least, when your diversity agrees with us. If not, then Diversity Sucks!!

I have to admit the most fun I ever had was while working for a bunch of trial lawyers at a mass tort firm during election 2000. I had George W Bush wallpaper on my computer and it was fun to watch the lawyers foam at the mouth. Since it was in my personal office, I didn't get any grief. I was known as the "lone Republican" - and I loooooooved to debate 'em. Trial lawyers bad, republican paralegals, good...

re: the car swarm in progress, this is my favorite quote:

Witnesses said the targeted vehicle was a small pickup truck with official Palestinian Authority license plates, witnesses said, and bystanders pulled the two bodies, badly burned, from the smoking wreck.

[Link: story.news.yahoo.com...]

And the targets of the interception?

Palestinians identified the two as Rabah Zaqut and Nabil al Saeidi, both residents of Al-Bureij refugee camp and known members of the Hamas.

I guess The Enquirer is now more credible than CBS.

Hell, the Weekly World News is more credible than CBS!!

Edward R. Murrow is spinning in his grave so hard you could probably hook a generator up to his body and power Cleveland with it. Add William Paley to the grid and you could shut down half the power plants in the Northeast.

This is classic "Yellow Journalism," the likes of which we really haven't seen since William Randolph Hearst and Joseph Pulitzer conspired to create the Spanish-American War.

Remember the banner on the NY Journal? "How Do You Like The Journal's War?" This is more of the same.

I really disagreed with the firing of the lady for having a Kerry bumper sticker. If they wanted to get rid of her anyway (I've worked for places that would look for trival things when they wanted to ditch someone), they should have known that doing it for that was really stupid.

But I disagree with you on putting political statements on company vehicles. I don't even see it as a grey area.

I would like to take Dan Blather and all of the Liberal Democrats and throw them into the "Bush" and leave them there. They just don't get it. At least Bush served in the military and never committed atrocities, or shamed and disgraced this country and our Vietnam Vets. My husband is a Vietnam Vet and he thinks Kerry should have been charged with treason.

One of my sons served in Desert Storm and one son is in Iraq second time. We do not trust Kerry to be in charge of our military.

I heard that Dan Blather's wife works for Kerry so they all want to destroy Bush. The Liberal Democrats wouldn't know the truth if it bit them on the ass and gave them rabies!

Did anyone else note the interview where LENO, who's now on my excrement list, said he's not only a Dem. himself (fine, no surprise there), but there are NO REPUBLICANS on his writing staff.

Blacklist? in Hollywood? tut, tut, tut! Thought they were against that kind of thing. What a jackass.

Dan Rather Uncovers Memo Forgery, Demands Resignation
(2004-09-20) -- In an exclusive report tonight, CBS News anchor Dan Rather will break the story of "a web of deception" which allowed 60 Minutes II to use forged documents to impugn the military record of President George Bush.

"As a crack investigative reporter, I've always wanted to break a story this big," said Mr. Rather. "I can't tell you much before the story airs, but the upshot is that someone may have tried to trick me and my producer into using forged documents to discredit the president. We'll actually show you how the fake documents could not have been written in the early 1970s. It's in-depth investigative reporting that you can't get anywhere else. Tune in tonight for this breaking news."

In addition to breaking the fake memo story, Mr. Rather said that during the broadcast he would demand his own resignation, along with that of news producer Mary Mapes.

"You'll never see a cover-up, stonewalling or excuse making at CBS," said Mr. Rather. "We're interested only in truth and integrity. I'm the one who's breaking the story, and I'm the one forcing myself into early retirement. That's proactive."

Mr. Rather said he plans to spend his retirement "sitting around the living room in my pajamas, posting my thoughts to my new blog."

Andrew Heyward Internal E-Mail to CBS News Employees
Mon Sep 20 2004 13:25:11 ET

Dear CBS News Colleagues,

Many of you have expressed understandable concern about the disputed documents used in the 60 MINUTES WEDNESDAY report on President Bush's service in the Texas Air National Guard.

Obviously, 60 MINUTES WEDNESDAY had full confidence in the original report or it would not have aired. However, in the wake of serious and disturbing questions that came up after the broadcast, CBS News has done extensive additional reporting in an effort to confirm the documents' authenticity. That included interviews with Marian Carr Knox, secretary to the late Lt. Col. Jerry Killian, the officer named as the author of the documents; an interview with Bill Burkett, the former Guard officer who provided the memos to 60 MINUTES WEDNESDAY; and a further review of the forensic evidence on both sides of the debate.

Based on what we now know, CBS News cannot prove that the documents are authentic, which is the only acceptable journalistic standard to justify using them in the report. We should not have used them. That was a mistake, which we deeply regret.

CBS News and CBS management are commissioning an independent review of the process by which the report was prepared and broadcast to help determine what actions need to be taken. The names of the people conducting the review will be announced shortly, and their findings will be made public.

Nothing is more important to us than our credibility and keeping faith with the millions of people who count on us for fair, accurate, reliable, and independent reporting. I know all of you work tirelessly to be worthy of that trust. I hope today's public statements about the documents are an important first step in restoring YOUR confidence in the standards and systems we have in place to ensure that we live up to our obligations to our viewers, listeners, and readers -- and to one another.

Thanks
Andrew

Yeah. Sure.

And wet, but dry, and yes but no. Sort of like John Kerry-I did but I didn't and his faithful sidekick Tonto but actually not.

"I'm your only friend, I'm not your only friend, but I'm a little glowing friend, but really I'm not actually your friend but I am..."

I'm dyin' laughin'!

I have been employed in the Televison industry for 27 years. I have worked at stations of all the major networks (ABC/CBS/NBC/Fox), including two O&O's. I have been around long enough to know of what I speak.

I do not find this photo surprising at all considering what I know about the political attitudes of most people who work in news rooms.

What I DO find surprising is that this would be allowed by management. Despite their politcal leanings they still do want to project an air of "impartiality".

My guess is that this is the driver's own personal "bumpersticker", that is why it is in the window and not on the bumper. They do have to drive different trucks depending on what is needed or if the truck they usually drive is in for maintenece. And once this driver's boss sees this photo my money will be on the driver being out of a job. and in my opinion deserves to be.

No intent to offend - should have clarified certain mass tort trial lawyers I know...

Bob & Kathyn, thx for the welcome.

I am concerned that I am becoming addicted to this particular blog over the past weeks - and I've passed my vice on to others already (including my intensely republican grandmother, aged 86, who thanked me profusely for finding this shining needle in the 'net haystack...). We are currently attempting to gently bring her daughter over from the proverbial "dark side". If I could only keep the nightly news (and I use the term "news" loosely) off her television screen...

Actually, IIRC, Nattering Nabobs of Negativity is what Agnew called the press.

Can't check in as often as I'd like, so, sorry to be referring so far back with this post.

BTW, to contribute to the conversation about posting personal political opinion items in the workplace, I think it is grossly inappropriate to have partisan labels on a work vehicle, especially if the work is SUPPOSEDLY objective. Having the label obscene on top of it seems really out of line. I certainly wouldn't try anything like that here (in an academic medical center). It would be unprofessional, at the very least. The closest I've come to being political is having "Baghdad delenda est" as my computer's marquee screen saver at the onset of the war last year.

Checking the source shows it's a Yahoo GeoCities page.

Whois says its a domain squatter named Big Fan Club in the Netherlands Antilles...

Googling, I note that they've previously had a run-in with Van Morrison, who won his domain name dispute in WIPO.

What ever made them think that Dan Rather would need a Big Fan Club?

Dan Rather's daughter Robin was initially a Deaniac.

Look at the contributions she's made this cycle here.

Sorry - I haven't read the entire thread, but I can't see anything that says anything ant-Bush nor a devil's head - must just be getting old.

Maybe we can help Mr. Rather get set up with a blog, so he can join the 21st Century...

News vans often risk getting ticketed because they park wherever the hell they want. In many big cities though (including NYC), you usually get a break if you're in the middle of covering a story. That's why they have that big sign in the window in the first place. The phone numbers are so the cops can call CBS if they think the van's just double-parked so someone can grab lunch.

Isn't going to happen. Assuming that CBS2 in the picture refers to WCBS New York, it's a union shop and they're untouchable.

The only thing that will get a live truck operator burned is damaging the vehicle and then failing a drug or alcohol test.

However, there's an easier way. Just have a friend tap a cop on the shoulder and say "I saw someone stash a gun under the front seat of that truck before leaving it." Nine times out of ten, they'll be right, and a lot of stations have No Weapons policies.

OT and I hope wrong:

Even those of us not familiar with SOP for newsvans know from Groundhog's Day that there is no driver per se, but someone on the "without favoritism" newsteam is driving.

Individual emplyoees may certainly have their beliefs, but this is a company van.

My hubby won't even put a Bush sticker on his personal car because he makes sales calls in it and it is unprofessional.

And as for Charles having a bias, he never claimed he didn't as CBS did. There is nothing about having an opinion in and of itself that will prevent you from reporting facts or make you report propaganda. But if you are saying tha you have no bias, and you do, AND you're reporting forgeries and lies as the truth...

If it is an editorial, don't call it straight news.

187 Ayatollah Ghilmeini
I doubt the president would pursue legal action. However, the Republican party should expect nothing short of disclosure as to all the sources involved. This is definitely a criminal offense. Like Watergate, the heads should be rolling. I expect nothing less.

The public must demand that anything and everything is accomplished so the entire truth is made public. We surely have an impact and should not stop til CBS gasps for breath. As for Rather, he should be fired. Those that work with him should be fired as well. Lots of people knew this. Lots of people helped with this. The paper trail is a long one. For CBS to allude they did not know this doc was a fake is complete and utter bullshit. It is nothing short of an outright lie.

Along the same lines: The reason we hear nothing about Sandy Berger as just one example, is because the public have become too blasé. They are cold and immune anymore. And of course Berger is a democrat, hmm. Still, we have power. Lots of it! That aside, we live in a society which is no longer interested in the quest to find truth.

More bias, Rather than objectivity.
Who is Dan Rather? FP Magazine

The city councilman calling for ass@ssination and rape says:

"I don't want to give any clue as to whether I'm serious or whether I'm playing around," he said. "I just think people need to allow something they don't like in their society to exist. In general that's what democracy is all about."

You have to be tolerant of all viewpoints, especially mine of wanting to kill someone that has a different viewpoint.

These arrogant media elitists are so busy scrutinizing everyone else, that they haven't quite figured out that it is now THEY who are being scrutinized. "How does it feel to have a magnifying glass shoved up your OWN a**es for a change, CBS?" LOL

All we want to know now from Dan Rather is....."Hey Dan-o, what did you know and when did you know it? And who directed the production of those forgeries?"

This guy's a real idiot. But thank god he's not a councilman,

sonofdad, if CBS were open and honest about their biases, it would not matter what was spotted in their company vehicles. However, CBS denies it has any sort of bias or agenda. This photo is a piece of evidence to the contrary. Nothing more.

The forged memos, on the other hand, are the Smoking Gun that prove beyond a reasonable doubt that CBS cares more about slamming a Republican president than it does about journalistic standards or integrity.

#145:

Your argument is weak. CBS pretends (poorly) to be "neutral" and presents its pieces as "objective"--as a result, expressions like found in the window of that van are out of order.

Rush Limbaugh, Sean Hannity, and LGF make no such claims to "neutrality"--and thus are free to admit their bias.

Frankly, I would love to see CBS's response to the van photo....especially now that they are finally admitting the documents are forged.

Of course Dan will just say its another personal attack and " I accept that" .....Is it just me or does that statement bug the living stew out you? Like he's taking a bullet for something. He always says "I accept that" in such a condescending way. grrrrr!

Thanks for the context - I agree with your points - whether they're a simple driver of a van, it is still CBS property, and there should not be a politically/ideologically charged legend or advertisment displayed therin.

"Love means never having to say you're sorry
for assassinating the President"

Months ago, I read in the Enquirer that Kerry had an affair with that actress Morgan Fairchild when he was married to his first wife. Not a word about this any where else but if it had been about President Bush, the whole world would be talking about it.

also, each time Kerry attacks Bush for sending our jobs out of the country, I keep waiting for some one to tell the public that Kerry's wife has 28 Heniz plants in other countries. They may want to bring those jobs back over here, but hey, they can pay workers in India and those countries pennies a day to make their ketchup.

Talk about Hypocrisy!!!!

I honestly can't believe that the credibility or bias of CBS is even still debated. Doesn't anyone remember the Chandra Levy story from a few years back? Every news station and newspaper in the country was leading with this story (and if they weren't leading, it was always in the first five minutes or above the fold).

Except for CBS. Which just pretended the story didn't exist. Every night. Night after night. It was as if CBS was existing in an alternate universe where the Levy story wasn't news.

And why? Apparently it was a decision from Rather himself; he didn't want a Democrat Congressman hurt. Had a Republican been involved with his intern who later disappeared, would CBS have been as nice? Do I really have to answer that question?

What the hell is wrong with this woman?

Despite her linguistic prowess and her worldliness, Heinz Kerry has, at times, a deaf ear for the nuances of slang, code, condescension, and vulgarity in English—for the emotion of the language. “There are these bizarre moments that make you shudder,” the Kerry adviser said. “Like calling herself African-American to black audiences.” She dismissed voters skeptical of her husband’s health-care proposals as “idiots,” and, in a television interview with a Pittsburgh anchorwoman, employed the word “scumbags” to describe some of her detractors. I doubt that she knows the literal meaning of “scumbag,” but perhaps, after forty years in America, nearly thirty of them as a political wife, observing how the flaws and contradictions of a personality as complex as hers are melted down for ammunition by the other side, she should have learned it. Close friends attribute her lapses of discretion to “naïveté.” Heinz Kerry says that they are a form of resistance to enforced conformity. “I don’t like to be told, for told’s sake,” how to behave, she says, “because I lived in a dictatorship for too long.”

You think you should get a pass on calling my mom an "idiot" because you once lived in a dictatorship.
Fuck you Teresa.

THE CANDIDATE’S WIFE

Being a Fine Arts person, I read part of the original "coastal" script... putrid! The allegedly cleaned-up version for us fly-overs is not much better. At least they left out the part where the older woman seduces a VERY young teen, showing her that she doesn't need a man to pleasure herself.

Playwright Eve Ensler has moved on to writing poems glorifing suicide bombers and visiting both Israeli victims of suicide bombings and the families of the bombers. Spit!

[Link: www.nobloodforoil.org...]

Eve Ensler read a poem based on the teenage (Palestinian) suicide bomber who turned back but is still being held in prison, a lady whose fiancé, Kassim, had just died as a result of the continuous violence (which motivated her suicidal reaction): “Now my hair is water, something has left me; I do not know what it is….I pictured them assembling your body like a puzzle, Kassim, I wrapped myself in your scarf….It could have been your baby but it was a bomb like an overgrown tumor…..To stand in our places, to get ready to die, then suddenly the plaza became faces, the life-giving blue sky bigger than the plaza, Kassim, and I couldn’t do it and as I turned back his body exploded. I don’t mind being in prison, I don’t have to pretend I’m free; everyone is finished with me. Make babies, so many babies, Palestinian babies, babies, babies….”

"But is still held in prison!" Spit. THe bitch turned back because her handlers asked her to dress imodestly ( like an Israeli) and told her to blow herself up if about to be caught, even if she wasn't in a poistion to kill a lot of jews. Spit feh!

Eve Ensler read a poem

Probably a "vaginia moronlogue"

Doesn't anyone remember the Chandra Levy story from a few years back? Every news station and newspaper in the country was leading with this story (and if they weren't leading, it was always in the first five minutes or above the fold).

I remember. It was in July and August 2001. And then, September 11 was brought to us, and we all said, "How foolish we were to think the Chandra Levy case was worthy of so much news coverage."

I fear that some horrific attack awaits us in the weeks ahead that will make us marvel at the time we spent discussing the forged memos.

Check this out:

New York: Kerry 49% Bush 44%

September 20, 2004--John Kerry's lead in New York is down to single digits. The Empire State, among the bluest of the Blue States from Election 2000, is still in the Kerry column for our Electoral College projections, but the raw numbers are stunning.

Confirming findings found in other recent polls, Rasmussen Reports shows John Kerry leading George Bush by merely five percentage points, 49% to 44%. Four years ago, Al Gore defeated Bush to carry New York by a 25 point margin. Our last New York survey found Kerry up by 19 points.

Yow!

I haven't had a chance to read all the comments yet, so someone might have already posted this about Rather's hypocrisy.

In 1953, Rather graduated with a degree in journalism from Sam Houston State Teachers College. He had already been working for Associated Press and then United Press International and a few radio stations as a “stringer” reporting stories that happened in Huntsville north of Houston. But being in college gave Rather a semester-by-semester student deferment from being drafted into the Korean War.

After Rather graduated, “the way he got around being eligible for the draft was he joined a reserve unit – Army reserve,” wrote B.G. Burkett, co-author of the book Stolen Valor. Rather dropped out of the reserves as soon as the Korean War ended in armistice. Whether Rather used journalist or related politician connections to get into the Army reserves, as he would later accuse President George W. Bush of doing in the Texas Air National Guard, is unknown.

And there's much, much more...

Who is Dan Rather?

"There can be no doubt in anyone's mind how Charles feels about John Kerry, yet he continues to "report the news"."

The tiny little difference is that CBS is a nation-wide news agency that HAS to be unbiased (which it's not) and that reports the news to millions of viewers who turn their TVs on from millions of homes by professional (?) journalists. Charles, however, is a not suggesting that he is a known wide newscast agency (although for many of us he is), is not a professional journalist, and you have to know this website to go here and look for news/exchange you opinions. CBS REPORTS the news, while Charles tells us about them and explains them to us. So learn to tell the difference, ugly troll.

The more salient point is that to get to your tv, they are using PUBLIC AIRWAVES. What they have done, IMO, constitutes a breach of contract and trust. At the very least, CBS should have its 'all the news we make up' programs shut down, with CBS forced to put up a black screen with the words "Due to Violation of FCC Rules, We Are Forced to Temporarily Suspend Our National News Broadcasts." Let that go a week or two and see how many viewers CBS retains.

All the Media outlets seem to be saying the same thing about Burkett. They are saying is has an issue with Bush about medical benfits from Being in the "Texas National Guard". They are all trying to spins this like Burkett is linked to Bush in the National Guard. This a very subtle and dangerous tactic. It has to be pointed out and corrected with the same persistance that the fake Memos have brought to light. I heard CNN, FOX, MSNBC, CBS use the same statement today.

1. Bush was in the Texas "AIR" National Guard.

2. Burkett was in the "ARMY" National Guard

We need to make it clear to the Media that they have nothing to do with each other. They are seperate and unrealated military branches. The Media seems to be bent is blurring this major detail.

I agree. My husband works for the City of Philadelphia-- in a unionized (AFSCME) work place. There is Kerry agit-prop on the bulletin boards in the office-- a violation of city rules that basically state: no public posting of electioneering/political material at work. Public employees-- paid on the taxpayers' dime can't appear to be advocating either way because by extension the city itself appears biased.

He complained, but since it had the union stamp on it-- a rally for Kerry sponsored by the union, they said it was all right. Nothing could be done about it.

So we know the technical ease of faking a photo like this. And Charles can not be 100% sure that whomever sent those pictures is the person that he/she claims.

While I think that the pics are probably real, I'm a little uncomfortable with the notion that somebody could have taken a picture of a van with some totally innocuous sign ("parking spot 6" or "oil changed 8/16/04") and photoshopped the slogan in. And then claims, "well the picture was fake but accurate..." It cuts a little close, ya' know?

cathy :-)

Rather weaseling out in realtime.

Disgusting.

"Mr. Bush's official position, that he told his superiors that he was 'going to Alabama and they agreed,' is suspiciously convenient. 1972 was a time of war. Mr. Bush's contention that he was able to alter his commitment to his unit by submitting a simple request is particularly galling to those who were stationed in the jungles of Vietnam in 1972 and those whose tour of duty has been indefinitely extended in Iraq."

Lucky for you the assault weapons ban just expired, eh?

#244 I live in the old west everyone here is armed up the ass.

I totally forgot about this. When I went to get my drivers license renewed recently, one of the ladies working there had a Kerry/Edwards button on. This was a very busy office as it did all sorts of things (which I have no idea what, but they were very busy).

Not picking on public employees, but if an employee out in the private sector in such a high profile job would do that, first she'd be asked to remove it, then asked to go home until she did remove it.

..some Jack-leg named Kerry had recently called them all butchers, murders and rapist, making the torturers in the Hanoi Hilton a lot happier, beat them in the nite and play 'Kerry-Live in Washigton' at nite

"Paja-marine"? I like it, I like it!!!

The Paja-Marine Corps Hymn

"From the blog of Little Green Footballs and the blog of Powerline,
Bloggers in pajamas, are kicking M.S.M behind.
Pointing out the mainstream's bias, Rather's clock they did clean,
They are proud to claim the title of Weblog Paja-Marines.

Men in baggy boxer shorts, women in their sleek nightgowns;
Fighting against the lib'rl bias that the mainstream press spreads 'round.
The warriors of the Blogosphere are giving CBS bad dreams,
You will find them always on the job - The Weblog Paja-Marines.

Here's health to you and to our Blogs, To which we are proud to post;
When the blogs turn up the heat, the mainstream press will roast!
If you ever make a posting that is bogus or unclean,
Prepare to get your ass fact-checked by the Weblog Paja-Marines!

Oooo-RAH!"

(With most sincere apologies to the USMC, which this son of a wingnut admires greatly! Don't kill me...)

Here's an idea: auction off their allotted bandwidth on the electromagnetic spectrum, and use the money to fund cspan indefinitely.

CBS has made untold millions, nay billions, over the years, by using airwaves that they pay nothing for. Zero. They're supposed to do some kind of "public service" - news I think, or something. Maybe a communications lawyer can speak to this.

Anyway, the bandwidth on the spectrum that they eat up with their broadcasts could be much better used for Wi-Fi or cell phones.

Auction off their spectrum!

Is this a crazy idea? I don't know. Like I said, maybe some knowledgeable LGF person can speak to this.

a couple of chattering college age female moonbats began discussing killing President Bush. One of them said that if she were afflicted with an terminal illness she would do it herself.

Wow, how very Ali McGraw...

"Love means never having to say you're sorry
for assassinating the President"

Being Ali McGraw means never having to think...

I suspect that if I had cut in and challenged those obviously ignorant induhviduals to name one strategic objective that was ever achieved by a big name assassin I probably would have drawn a blank stare.

#235 egfrow --- Actually, I am willing to attribute that to ignorance and stupidity rather than malice. The average MSM "journalist" knows has as much interest in and knowledge of the military as the average Muslim cleric has of gynecology.
