CBS has found a new voice for the hard left, Katie Couric, she's a long standing supporter of the Clinton family. She has also hosted the BRADY bunch on her former indoctrination program, The Today show. This will be Katies big chance to help democrates this election season, (Not that the republicans have damaged themselves or anything) but she is an admitted Hillary Clinton fan and a strong backer of the Dem/Lib party.

It will be interesting to see how clever she attacks, and re-colors conservatives and their values the way dumb em down Dan Rather did. Dan became too wreckless at the end and too many people could see thru him. Katie will take liberal bias to a new and clever information path. This is just my prediction, but the big three propaganda machines need a new breed in todays info market, and I think CBS may have found the Queen.
 
The move, IMO, is simply CBS's attempt to improve their tanked news ratings. They want to pull in an audience, any audience, to prop up their numbers. If it means gaining ill informed easy to persuade soccer housewife moms, great. Any number from any segment will work for them. Plus, being ill informed, they have an audience that is easy to mold. couric's experience as a reporter, as compared to CBS's line-up, is poor. They want a (subjectively) pretty face and 'bubbly personality' to draw numbers.

Similar to a Jessica Savage except couric already made her name (but not in reporting).
 
I'm predicting a temprary repair of CBS's miserable ratings, but, when the reality that there's ANOTHER mental lightweight, regardless of how "perky" she is, sinks in, those with greater-than-80 I.Q.s will abandon CBS.
 
Let's call it what it is

Kouric will be an outstanding spokesman for the leftist/Democrat/socialist political movenent in the U.S. Like NBC, ABC, PBS and NPR, CBS is playing the role of propaganda organ for the Democrat party.

CBS is getting its ducks in a row to do its part in trying to help install a Democrat (presumably Clinton & Clinton) in the White House in 2008. All other considerations - such as honesty, integrity, accuracy and factual reporting are secondary.

For these and other reasons (RATHERGATE), the mainstream media and CBS in particular has lost all credibility with a significant percentage of the American people. It outrages them that 100% of the public are not as gullible, blind and simpleminded as "The Sheeple" that let the mainstream media do their thinking for them.
 
Are you suggesting that there is a vast liberal conspiracy to control the media? If you are perhaps you have some sort of proof beyond the fact that they say things you don't agree with.
 
"Like NBC, ABC, PBS and NPR, CBS is playing the role of propaganda organ for the Democratic party"

I disagree, I don't believe that they're on any party's side as much as their own side. Rather worked for NBC, who's heavily partnered with one of the largest defense contractors, GE (put on your foil hats everyone!). Therefore, it would be in NBC's interest to spin the war as a positive good thing (anyone remember that prewar Dr.Phil, where he had the retired army general debate a lesbian left wing fruitcake on the merits of the war. It made me sick, as the poor girl walked into an ambush). The so called 4th estate had a job to do with Bush in the whitehouse, they were supposed to call him on his B.S. and not softball the REAL questions that have faced us in the last few years. They've looked the other way until Katrina forced the nation to see how incompitent everyone was, then everyone collectively asked "what if they're running the war as well as they're running the hurricane rescue efforts (not the ones in florida, jeb's prob got all the funding he'll need to worry 'bout) We're now in dire need of some kind of revolution, but since it wouldn't be televised, what'd be the point...

whoops, whichever one he worked for, doesn't matter, they all were in collaboration as far as selling this war and portraying dissenters as hippy left wing liberal nonsense blame america first yuppies living in a pre 9/11 world. They are still part of the ongoing 'blackout' of dissent (oh, and real news) in this country and is one cog in the 'sheepening' of America. I'm ready to put a round through the television for the wellbeing of those in my house...turning it off just isn't enough anymore.
 
She'll show a little leg (ratings booster) and talk her liberal line...same gig, different venue.
 
Kouric to make $15M+ a year preaching her leftist bias

Katie Couric, high preistess of the news media's leftist/Democrat/socialist agenda pushers and propagandists, will reportedly be paid at least $15 million a year to spread her political bias to The American Sheeple. Her position will be invaluable as a platform for Hillary Clinton's 2008 election run.

Only in America.:barf: :barf: :barf: :barf:



Katie Couric announced yesterday that she will step down as co-host of NBC's "Today" show to become anchor and managing editor of "The CBS Evening News," possibly bringing a more liberal tilt and higher ratings to her new network.

"I know it's the worst-kept secret in America," Miss Couric said during the mawkish interlude, crediting her heart and gut for the decision and advising partner Matt Lauer, "You are going to be so sick of me ... you're going to be like, 'goodbye, already.'?"

And although the transition has been treated like a momentous cultural moment by much of the press, not everyone agrees with its significance.
"CBS blew a golden opportunity to upgrade its evening news," said L. Brent Bozell III of the Media Research Center yesterday. "CBS chose the perky, likable and politically liberal Katie Couric, whose biases will only reinforce CBS's reputation as a network riddled with liberally biased reporting."

"I'm not enthusiastic about it. I think everybody likes Katie Couric," CBS personality Andy Rooney said in an MSNBC radio interview yesterday. "But I don't know anybody at CBS News who is pleased that she's coming here."

CBS has lagged third in ratings behind ABC and NBC for a decade and was dogged by a credibility scandal in September 2004 after former anchorman Dan Rather broadcast a bogus "60 Minutes" story claiming President Bush had compromised his National Guard service.

The network retracted the report, fired four producers and Mr. Rather retired, replaced by veteran newsman Bob Schieffer, 69. In September, he'll step aside as Miss Couric, 49, assumes the role of first solo female anchor in the history of television.

She acknowledged that it was "terrifying to get out of your comfort zone." Her replacement on NBC is rumored to be Meredith Vieira, co-host of ABC's late-morning talk show "The View," according to several press reports.

Executives at NBC, where Miss Couric was paid $15 million a year, brimmed with well wishes yesterday. CBS brass offered unrestrained praise, while Mr. Schieffer said he "couldn't be happier."

Unless the network overhauls its news format, the honey-haired host must trade cushy chat for hard news.

Her 15 years on "Today" consisted of feel-good fare punctuated by almost daily zingers against Republican guests and conservative issues. She once opened a show by calling former President Ronald Reagan "an airhead." Miss Couric did not hide her enthusiasm for Democrats and liberal causes, or her distaste for the war in Iraq.

When Rep. Nancy Pelosi became House minority leader, Miss Couric's message to the California Democrat was "You go, girl." Her comment to Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice on Iraq: "It must be very frustrating at times to see things unraveling so." In recent interviews, she also praised former President Bill Clinton and wife Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton, New York Democrat, for their candor with the American public.

I repeat...

Are you suggesting that there is a vast liberal conspiracy to control the media? If you are perhaps you have some sort of proof beyond the fact that they say things you don't agree with.
 
Honestly, I think this is funny. CBS ratings are tanking because of their liberal slant and disregard for the truth. They do not share the same values as the rest of America. They bring in Katie, who is just a softer version of their already liberal views and it may help a bit, but CBS has not changed their philosophy on the whole....so it's like covering a bullet wound with a band aide....it may stem some of the bleeding, but won't save the patient.

Good luck to 'em.:D

It is obvious to even the most casual observer that the top jobs in TV news at the big three - CBS, NBC and ABC - are held by people who put such a slant on the news that it is no longer objective.

The news anchors for the big three spin, distort and manipulate the news to the benefit of the leftist/Democrat/socialist political movement to such an extreme that they have become the de facto propaganda organ of said political movement.

You want proof? Get a copy of Bernard Goldberg's book Bias and read it. He lays it out in meticulous detail. He should know, seeing as how he was an insider at CBS news.
 
Anyone ever catch some of the memo's that some of the big networks had spelling out in detail what NOT to have shown on tv...spooky stuff.
 
Steelheart,

No doubt it'd read pretty much like 'OutFOXed' by Alexandra Kitty/ Robert Greenwald. :rolleyes:
Proof, man. Do you have any or not?
 
The book Bias was written by Bernard Goldberg, he worked inside CBS for 20 years. Liberal bias in the news has been evident for many years now. 70-80% of news journalists, reporters, etc, admitt to to being democrats.

The video outfoxed is simply spoof on fox news channel. The main liberal news outlets would never report truth in taxation, abortion, the spread of aids, gun control or anything else they want to paint a false picture of. Liberals hate right wing news because they will tell the people the truth about guns and often support us. In Minnesota we never new that our tax dollars were paying for sex changes or gay/les programs until talk radio started up and told the people, and the people did not like it once they found out. Now, we the people have checked these things out and found the mainstream liberal media chose not to report certain issues. We have been able to stop some of these terrible tax payed for programs.

I call the NYT the mother ship. Thats where all other news outlets look for the best propaganda of the day.

Katie Couric is far left wing, anti gun, pro tax, pro government, and she will select what you will hear.
 
I call shenanigans. You offer nothing other than "they say things I don't like" and "they don't say things I want them to". I have no doubt that the mainstream media paint a picture left of your views *but*
1) You haven't established that the media are the ones out of the mainstream instead of you
2) Even assuming that the media really is "liberal" you haven't even come close to proving that it's intentional or a conspiracy run by the Democratic party.

Since this thread is mainly about CBS, are you denying there as been a demonstrably liberal slant on CBS evening news throughout the Rather years? (actually Cronkite too)


For decades the big 3 were the only 3 sources for TV news. What irritates the liberals is the fact there are choices for those of us who don't want to listen to the liberal slant.

I believe FOX shows less conservative bias than CBS shows liberal.
