| CBS isn’t whoring for Kerry; they’re pimping for Kerry |
| 2004-03-22 |
| Yesterday I posted an article noting that CBS was heavily advertising the Clarke Bush-bashing 60 minute interview during the NCAA tournament. I concluded that CBS was whoring for Kerry. Ooops. It turns out that Viacom, which owns CBS, also owns Simon and Shuster which is the publisher of Clarke’s book, so the promo will get CBS’s sister affiliate more dollars. Thus it turns out CBS wasn’t a whore, they were a pimp. My apology. |

| #6 eLarson, don't forget all the shilling for Hitlery's book last summer... And also according to Drudge, dear Bob Woodward has another Bush-basher coming out right behind Clarke. Hope Overstock.com can handle the bulk sales! |

| #5 60 Minutes has now done their second info-mercial for a Simon & Schuster title. The first was for Paul O'Neill's book. At least Guthy-Renker has the integrity to mention up front that theirs is a paid program, advertising a product. Not so Viacom. |

| #3 If the day ever comes when al-Qa'ida does a martyrdom operation at the CBS May Day celebration, it will be difficult for me to squeeze out a tear of sadness or mourning. Hell, why not write what I really think. It is obvious the CBSNBCABC network is a greater danger to America than Islamo-fascism. |
