CBS: A lose-lose situation
So CBS is still getting pounded by the blogsphere, mainly the right side. Most recently for recycling and running with the draft myth. Here’s what Allah has to say on the story.
And via the Kerry Spot
MoveOn “members across the country are flooding the offices of CBS and its parent company, Viacom, with phone calls and e-mails demanding that the network reverse its decision and air a key “60 Minutes” report that uncovers how the Bush administration used fake documents to build its case for war in Iraq. CBS killed the story, saying it ‘inappropriately’ interfere” with WH 2004. MoveOn exec dir Peter Schurman: “It’s outrageous that a major TV outlet would withhold an important piece of news for political reasons” (release, 9/28).
CBS: Getting battered by both sides…..sucks for them….
The bottom line-REALLY BAD JOURNALISM which I find really embarrassing. It makes the Justice mess look like a misspelled word or typo-which I say sarcastically.

Really bad is an understatement. The Justice incident was more a case of poor editing than this, which is a whole screw up.
Plus the justice handled its plagarism case last year (that Arts/Entertainment writer) very rapidly and professionally in contrast to CBS
