I have no problem with the mistake.  I have a problem with Rather still trying to convince the world that hes a news reader instead of an editorial reader...

I stopped trusting CBS a long time ago.

They just once again proved their agenda blinds them to the ethics of professional journalism.

Dan Rather is one of the most arrogant pompous liars on television today.  Anyone who would believe a word he says is in my opinion, an idiot.

I have many time before, and will again, strongly suggest anyone interested in someone like Rather, or network television news read the book "Bias" by Goldbert.  Very enlightening from an insider.

wonder how many people here still think..

1.  CBS can be trusted and does not have a liberal agenda

2.  michell moore is an unbiased and honest documentary maker

3.  CBS has the documents to prove Bush went AWOL

Dan Rather is a Liar.

Seen him doing interviews at the MEPS station in Richmond,VA back in March of 1975. He asked all of the inductees if he could ask them questions and have it filmed for TV.... most, like me said no.  Good thing because he eventually "SPIN'd" it around to make it look like Parents were sending their kids into the Army to get rid of them.

I'd like to met him up front and personal.  Just to thank him for those that did interview and were eventually ousted from the Army.

I think after Jane Fonda dies, his grave is the next I'd pisssss on...

Just my 2 cents worth.

I trust CBS news a lot because they are an established network with a long history.

It's not their fault that the documents were forged. They were working on the story for 5 years and probably didn't have the extra 15 minuts to verify them before the election, so they had to run with what they had.....no big deal really.

The important thing is that the forged documents conveyed the general "story" regarding Bush's gaurd service, and I can live with that. I mean, CBS needed a visual prop to go along with the 15 year old "story".....that's really all it was, no big deal.

So yes, I trust CBS because they tell the truth and reveal the inside stories like they were meant to be told.....from the heart.

The CBS mistake is puny compared to the US intels WMD in Iraq 'misrepresentation'.  
  By the way, now that we know there arent any WMD's that pose a threat to the US in Iraq, why are we still there?

Lasz, lets hear a 'fair and unbiased' critique of the WMD in Iraq mistake?  Speak for the dead soldiers.

whitehawk... ok.. my take?  the sadman was an agressive dictator who had worked on WMD's in the past including nukes and biological weapons that he used on his own people in an attempt at genocide.

the UN and every major country in the world believed that he was still working on them and or had stockpiles hidden... the UN sanctioned him... he violated the sanctions over and over just like a man with something to hide... every country and the UN believed he had WMDs or was workinhg on them even as we invaded.

fair enough?

xtoronto... I don't think anyone here fails to see the irony of you putting yourself in the category of "anyone who thinks".

I sincerly hope that you are holding your breath waiting for the immenent collapse of the U.S. economy... in the meantime you can cheer yourself up with any American deaths you can find on the news.   I know what a big woody you get every time an American dies.

The Captain is obviously a man of action. He is very concerned about illegal wars, that's why he is always bringing up all the conflics taking place around the world.

Captain Retard probably knows that the American abuse of Iraqi prisoners was probably the worst act of inhumanity that the world has ever known.

The good Captain knows that Israel is a terrorist state, I mean....doesn't everyone?

Capain, you are my hero. Please tell us, from your vast experience, how to conduct the war on terror.

Thanks Captain sir.

CBS's credibility deffinately took a big hit, but come on, it's not like they are FOX (anybody have the link to the survey that showed FOX had the highest number of mis-informed viewers)

Er... since we export more oil than any other country in world to the States, not to mention natural gas and electricity. Actually no other country even comes close when it comes to total energies exported to the States.

I'd say that, you'd be waiting in lineups fer gas, as we would be here fer twinkies.:aok

2.  Do you really think we have Alaska to stop Russia from invading the US?

3. How well trained is your Military?

Here's the web address to the study on how badly mis-informed viewers of FOX News are, compared to those who use other sources like NPR (the best informed), or newspapers.

I bet toronto would love to see the state of Israel wiped clean from the face of the earth.  The anti semitism consistent in his quotes is absolutely shocking coming from someone on the left.  I am flat out astonished that someone who thinks themselves to be quite enlightened compared to the rest of us can have opinions like that.  Guess Germany shoulda finished the job, eh?

Hey capt retard, just wondering 1 thing... Do you have any kids???  Because it has become aparent that you lack the conviction to finish anything.
Title: Can we trust CBS
Post by: capt. apathy on September 27, 2004, 12:19:23 AM
have 3,

as far as finishing this war we were finished when we started it.  there was nothing that needed to be accomplished in Iraq.
 we shouldn't have been there from that start, and if you want to check back through the BBS you'll see that I was saying this way more often before we went than I do now.

how long ago was it that Bush was saying he has an exit strategy?  with the election coming up it would probably help his campaign to go ahead and let us know what day he has penciled in to bring our guys home.

1) Not many news stations are free from bias. I don't trust completely ANY news source at face value. Doesn't mean they're always wrong, but definitely not always right.

2) Unbiased??!! Honest??!!  LOLOLOL!!! ...uhm, No. I havent seen F.9/11 so I can't comment on it. Bowling for Columbine was funny in spots, but honest? Don't know, but doubt some of it (as he represented it).

3) Doubt it.

No

I don't trust CBS now anymore than I did 10 years ago.

Matter of fact I don't trust ANY network.

I may watch and listen but I don't let them do my thinking for me.

BTW I love how this became a bash Bush thread after a simple yes or no question.

captn... I don't care how well informed the subscribers to a news service are just how honest and good the news is.

I pretty much gave up on the newspaper and news for about 10 years now... the liberal agenda of allmost every "reporter" is depressing and disgusting... the lack of content and sensationalism and repetitive unimformed guessing is depressing.


if something major happens like an election or war I will watch fox... it is probly no more honest than the others like cnn but it is more upbeat.   Less liberal doom and gloom.

the rest I can pull out of my puter or hear about it from co workers.... if it sounds interesting enough I will check into it.
