Boycott CBS evening news
« on: May 13, 2009, 03:16:45 PM »
I don't care what your political beliefs are.  If I was press secretary and CBS' Bill Plante not only failed to silence his cellphone BUT ACTUALLY ANSWERED THE CALL DURING A PRESS CONFERENCE I would ban him from the room for a week.  This is unprofessional beyond comprehension.

Would he have answered if they weren't "playing" take the ringing phone to begin with.

Seemed like a very crucial press conference.

Another slow news day?

Lighten up Francis.

I doubt theres many people watching CBS, ABC, OR NBC news anymore. Not since cable and Direct TV have been out.

I didn't like or believe him either. Honesty and integrity have not been hallmarks of the media in many decades, if they ever really were. I don't think Cronkite was much better than or different from Rather.

There's no news on US TV stations, just editorial comment.

I recommend the BBC.

MODS:  This thread is NOT political...it deals with journalists being professional.


Any reporter that goes into any press conference with his cell phone on is a moron.  In yesterday's live WH press conference TWO reporters left their phones on.

VERY unprofessional.

I've watched BBC World News since I realized that I got it, it's a lot more interesting than US news, which seems to be mostly pundits talking about the same boring trivial politics 24 hours a day. Can't stand CNN, MSNBC or FOX, all a bunch of stupidly polarized politics.
There's so much more going on in the world that I never knew about before.
