  • EntropyMan, on 10/11/2007, -2/+1CBS is most definitely not liberal, or even "The Press" as outlined in the 1st amendment. They are a big multi-national that gets its money from everything from appliances to machine guns.

    Batiste has no conflict of interest, yet CBS will put people on the air that literally work for Big Oil, denying global warming; Weapons makers, defending the war, and the GOP, analyzing which Democrats are doing better than others. CBS has the biggest conflict of interest of all.

    At the risk of sounding like a broken record, it's time to remove the decision that started it all. Corporations should not be considered "persons" under the law, and their 1st amendment rights should be limited to legitimate business needs, and to telling the truth. Corporate "personhood" is undermining our freedom. Fix that, and CBS or FOX would never get away with half the stuff it does.
