Corporate media at it again.

60 Minutes' incident brings spotlight to issue of corporate ties and news

----
Blindsided by a controversy over its corporate ties to the publisher of Richard Clarke's book, "60 Minutes" has promised that it will not happen again.

So, when it reports next Sunday on Bob Woodward's book, "Plan of Attack," "60 Minutes" will say that publisher Simon & Schuster and CBS are both owned by Viacom.

Is this bowing to pressure or a legitimate issue? I dont see how its pertinent but I guess they are all slaves. Im turning off my television!
