Re: 60 Minutes tonight
CBS is poo-pooing internet gambling because 60 minutes is shilling for Viacom or whatever huge conglomerate currently owns the network.
This piece could (won't though) hurt companies like Disney (via ESPN) who are doing very well with the popularity of poker. NBC also has some poker programming. Out of the three major networks, and 4 if you count Fox, only CBS has failed to capitalize on the poker boom.
Actually, HBO did a piece on internet poker on "Real Sports", that naturally, bashed the hell out of it, because they didn't get a piece of the action either. If you want to equate political leanings with this, no one would accuse CBS or HBO of being conservative.
