Dan Rather on CBS news. Semi-negative reporting on the Omnibus
Budget (loaded with pork for lobbyists and supporters), showing the flaws of black box voting, and showing another Enron criminal being led off in handcuffs.

Have I just stepped into bizarro world. Now the Arar story.

What's the deal?

1. I sent CBS news an email this morning asking them to cover the bill!
I doubt if that's why they are doing so, but I'm glad to see it. I also asked them to cover the Republican staffer/email scandal, so let me know if they go there, too.

2. great idea! Do you have an email address we can use?
It's time we started not only giving kudos to the media when they tell the truth, but also to give 'em hell when they don't!!

3. I sent it to evening@cbsnews.com
It was just a short and, I think, pleasant email asking them to cover those two stories.

5. if you watch CBS Evening News regularly
you shouldn't be surprised.

they did an EXCELLENT piece on chimpy MLK outrage. gave plenty of time to the protests AND pointed out it was a drive-by on route to a $2000 a plate fundraiser.

there is NOTHING worth seeing on cable "news"

but the network evening news DOES still carry news most nights
