    Columbia Broadcasting System? HA! More like Columbia Bull S___! Partisan hacks in bed with the Democrats. So, what's new?

    Who here thinks that any news outlet is neutral?

    I could rant about how our unlimited money, 2 party system is the real problem causing most of our ill including slanted news...but why bother.

    But I will say this...In our current political climate and infotainment news era, I am not sure any of them can be 'neutral'. Some do try harder than others, though.

    Breitbart.com calling someone else biased? I'm sorry but if you want to impugn someone else's journalistic credibility, you might want to have at least a small amount of your own to stand on top of in the first place.

    The funny part here is that the article appeared in Slate not on CBS but because the guy who wrote it works for both organizations Breitbart blames CBS. Typical Breitbart twisting.

    I don't believe that Breitbart believed anything he said or did but knew that he could make money off of stupid Right-wingers. They are just so damn emotional. He had no real political beliefs but he did want to do what so many Right-wing pundits like Beck, Limbaugh, and O’Reilly have already figured out and that is if you say guns, God, and gays, dumbasses will throw money at you. I'm thinking about starting a Right-wing blog myself...O.K. I actually have more moral fiber than that but people like Breitbart didn’t really have that problem.

    Typical left wing mantra - shoot the messenger and change the topic.

    Pushing the typical Right-wing message of false equivalency is bad enough but when you lie outright in your article, the game is up. Slate does not equal CBS.

    The story says that John Dickerson said those things in Slate - true.
    The story says that the bio of John Dickerson is "Slate's chief political correspondent" - true
    The story says that John Dickerson is "the political Director at CBS news" - true
    The story says that Slate omits the fact that John Dickerson is "the political Director at CBS news" from his bio - true
    The story does not say that Slate is equal to CBS - true
    Teddy misspoke when he said "you lie outright in your article" - true (especially since I had nothing to do with preparing the article)

    Blah

    IQless1 trump supporters are scum

    Has anyone ever claimed CBS to be neutral,...and said it with a straight-face?

    Dumb thread title...unless you're not really interested in expressing fact, then it makes perfect sense. You could even add "Obama does!" if you feel you haven't vilified the man enough lately.

    Yawn.

    Hum? Where does it mention Slate in this rather large title?

    Again, Slate is not CBS but you'd never know it from the title of this silly article.

    You make no sense. He isn't "attacking the messenger," he is attacking the article you posted. Idiot.

    I mean really! If I were "attacking the messenger", wouldn't I be attacking HIM???????

    The article itself is purposefully misleading and none of those it is directed at, by this I mean Right-wingers, would even pick up on that. Hence it went right over the messenger's head. Now I'm attacking the messenger.

    Listen Rimmy, you might be fooled by the utter hypocrisy of an already discredited blog like Breitbart.com but those of us that use our brains aren't so easily fooled. I've pointed out why the commentary is complete trash and you can continue to be blind to that or realize that you've posted nothing but mindless drivel aimed at people who seldom question any source that already agrees with their beliefs. It's up to you but I've lost interest in this nonstory and am moving on. Better luck next time.
