Bill, good post about CBS and the rest of "mainstream media". My favorite
media blurb was the photo of the Chernobyl nuclear power plant right after the
meltdown. Remember that? I forget which one of the TV media giants did it
but it was one of the big three. In an effort to be the first to get a photo
on the power plant the reporter took a picture of a grain silo. And the
editors evidently didn't have any problem with putting it on the 6 o'clock
news. After it was identified for what it was, there was a lot of red faces
and a short apology. Then business as usual again.-Jim C.
