#1 "â¦that neither CBS News nor Rather had a vendetta against the White Houseâ¦â

How do you tell CBS News and Rather are lying? their lips are moving.

#2 The White House isn't who's been shredding them.

#3 An incentive for making nice is the impending report from the two-member panel investigating CBS's use of now-infamous documents for the 60 Minutes piece.

"Impending"?? Sooo....how long until the report's release? Wasn't it supposed to be "weeks, not months"???

#4 CBS hasn't figgered it out yet, but the beef is with conservatives who have been pointing out CBS' leftist bias for decades.

It would take more than a sit down and a coffee to convince me they don't have it in for Dubya.

How about firing that carpet-munching producer who was involved? That would go some distance in convincing me CBS wants to be fair and balanced.

#5 They spend 3 years on a story and the best they can come up with is fake documents. Any journalist with integrety would have realized there was no story there and quit long ago. Dan Rather definitly had it in for President Bush. More CBS horsepukey.

#6 Heyward was âworking overtime to convince Bartlett that neither CBS News nor Rather had a vendetta against the White House,â our source says, âand from here on out would do everything it could to be fair and balanced.â

Well if they didn't have a vendetta they wouldn't have to 'do everything.. to be fair and balanced.'

#8 ...from here on out would do everything it could to be fair and balanced.

Sorry, see BS, someone else is already doing that.

Getting your credibility back can be a real bitch once you've pissed it away.

#9 They had ample time after the election to moderate their tone.

#10 ..."fair and balanced" isn't that what they thought they were? Sounds like a back-handed admission of guilt to me!
