Why does anyone still watch CBS news?

They're still up to their old tricks. This week they played a quote from Ken Starr completely out of context to make him appear to say the exact opposite of what he actually said.

Seriously, do they really think they are going to slip another deception past us? These guys are just so blinded by their need to manipulate the news to fit their agenda.

I have not watched any of the old major networks for years, including their news coverage. No ABC, NBC, or CBS. Or Fox. Or CNN. I do not even get a newspaper. I do get a few magazines. I dislike the news. It is all the same anyway and has been for the last 5,000 years.

why do people still watch fox?

because when you have a one-minded narrow worldview that you believe is absolutely correct, it's nice and reassuring to get that warm fuzzy rub from your TV that you're right and everyone else is wrong.

If Fox presented both sides, that might make the fuzzy little rightys uncomfortable, and then they would go somewhere else, and that would be bad [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

So that's why liberals watch CBS and read the NYT. They get fuzzies by only hearing the leftist spin on the news. I understand.

Don't stress yourself WT, read the NYT and get your fuzzies.
