CBS - Montana Opinion Page Outs Media Contributions
Edited on Sun Feb-01-04 02:32 PM by bigskydem
A good read in todays Billings Gazette

CBS fed Republicans

It's true that CBS and Fox lobbied heavily for the rule change. It's also true, as the Center for Responsive Politics has documented, that of the nearly $14,000 in soft money contributions CBS made during the 2000 election cycle, 98 percent of it went to the Republican Party.

8. Meaning CBS won't run the MoveOn ad critical of Bush
During the Superbowl because they fear political retribution.

Media Whores, indeed.
