What was C-BS thinking

This is an easy one.

"We got Bush now"

"Why would anybody question us, we said we have other un-named sources"

OK, enough of what they were literally thinking. They knew this story was out there, they had been looking for collaboration for three years. When it shows up at their door from Kinko's why question it. That is the essence of current media bias (MB). CBS isn't out there making forged documents, (I hope not, or its worse than I thought) they are only confirming a previously held belief. You see, like most good liberal media figures, Dan thinks the Bush family is BAD, like all conservatives and their ideas. In his heart he knows this is something GW is would do. Dan doesn't need proof to convince himself, so why would you. (Although this is truly what I personally see in the media, you can get many more examples from Mr. Goldberg and his books.http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/0895261901/104-7923670-0735165?v=glance He was a former CBS employee, and his book is very timely now.(if you know me personally, feel free to come borrow it)

Dan is probably right, this is something The Bushes might try to do. During the war some people did everything imaginable to avoid there duty. Families pulled all kinds of strings to keep there kids out of harms way. Some knew how to live off the land, so they hide in remote place throughout to country, some knew how to get to Canada so they went, some joined the navy because they thought it safe, and some joined the TexasANG to defend against the unlikely communist attack against Texas. What I'm saying is people pulled strings, some hid, some looked for sympathetic doctors, and most just prayed, pulled G-ds strings to try and stay out of war. I'm not sure how CBS thinks that a republican representative(George Sr.) pulled strings with the Democratic administration at the time in Texas, but its possible.

The point is, what kind of story is that, who cares, and for the few people who do take previous military service into consideration. GET THE STORY RIGHT!! You major news services shouldn't be digging up mud for the past three years, you should use that manpower to verify stories. We get it, Bush was allegedly goofing off, when Kerry was burning villages. I give up. The media is hopeless!!

CBS isn't the only one, look for more to come, as the campaign finance law kicks in 30 days from the election and the candidates can't run adds to defend themselves, the media will have all the power to spin stories.
