2. Wow. They make no bones about it that they work for their leader.

They (networks like CBS) are one of the reasons our democracy is one the ropes. Roll over in your your grave Murrow.

3. Is not a consultant hired to tell the truth?

Why in the world would CBS fire a consultant who tells it like he see's it?

:wtf:

Unless --- CBS does not like what it hears!

4. The General is a real hero. CBS appears to be running scared. n/t

5. Sumner Redstone, the CEO of Viacom(the owners of CBS)

needs to get paid and General Batiste was messing with the cash. I guess CBS now stands for Conservative's Bull Sh##!
