CBS - ***CB f'n S*** - criticizes Sinclair Broadcasting
Jim Geraghty generally doesn't go in much for rants. But we here at Hard Starboard just love 'em. So when so ordinarily sedate a pundit as the master of the KerrySpot unloads, we cannot help but take appreciative notice:
"CBS News is covering Sinclair Broadcasting's decision to show a documentary that's very tough on Kerry. They title their report 'Broadcast Broadside' and call the documentary an 'extended attack ad.'
"'Picture what would happen if a liberal station preempted its regular schedule to to show Fahrenheit 9/11, asks correspondent Jim Axelrod.
"Yeah. Or imagine a liberal network using fake documents, that its own experts determined were a hoax, to smear the President! And imagine that network insists, in the face of all evidence, that the memos are true, and that all of its critics are 'partisan political operatives'! And imagine that network's anchor, even after admitting that the source of the documents, that he had insisted was unimpeachable, was a longtime critic of Bush with a nutty story about getting the memos passed to him at a horse show, said he still didn't think the memos were fake! Imagine a network insisting that "fake but accurate" was an appropriate standard!"
Not bad, Jim. I give it a 9.0. But watch out for that French judge....
