CBS again

One would have thought that the recent Dan Rather scandal would teach CBS something about basic honesty in journalism. (Ratherbiased.com chronicles everything, not just the recent scandal, but a long history of Dan Rather’s bias.) But I think postmodernism is so ingrained in the mind (to the extent they have one) of the leftists that the idea of objectivity and honesty has become meaningless to them, perhaps subconsciously. Power is everything. When one controls the information that hoi polloi receive, one wields a lot of power. And the MSM (mainstream media) know this; their “journalism” is so blatantly driven by leftist agenda that they might as well admit it rather than pretending to be fair and balanced.

The interview by Bill at INDC Journal with the CBS people is illuminating: CBS is no longer interested in reporting news, but only spreading rumors, creating tensions and sensations, advancing political agenda, etc. Shameful.
