*Why does CBS morning news treat the military leaders in Iraq as if they are plague-carriers and then turn around and interview Senator Clinton and treat her as if she is the savior of America?
Does this seem imbalanced to anyone else? Why do they choose to paint the military operation in Iraq with an ugly black brush and ignore the good things that are going on there? American soldiers are losing their lives and instead of giving a balanced report, CBS is waging a war against the operations there. Why is it so hard to report all the facts, instead of just the ones we want to be heard?
*Why does the CBS evening news 'trailer' feature three items: The class-5 hurricane approaching the East Coast, the upcoming Democratic Primaries in several Midwestern states, and the delayed wedding of J.Lo and BAffleck?
Hello, CBS! What is more important, ANY piece of local news in ANY city in the nation, or the delayed wedding of 2 Hollywood stars (one of which is a repeat divorcee anyway and a delayed wedding just brings the response, "Again?")? WHY does this delay matter so much that these 2 get top billing on CBS News? WHY do we as a nation venerate Hollywood stars so much? They are just people, and I'd say they are mostly pretty sick, childish, and irreverent people, anyway! Why? Why do we honor them so much? Why do they matter to us? Why do we give them so much power over us? Grr.
