I will repeat it...It's time we keep up the CBS boycott.
http://www.boycottcbs.com/
First the bogus memos, now new attacks on Bush...while other networks back away from the almost surely bogus story of missing explosives being there when US forces came in- CBS is pushing the story as hard as they were the memo story. You think clueless Dan Rather and his goons would learn, but clearly that's not the case.
The news media that is doing all they can to oust the president needs to feel the pain from the consumer, and CBS is a prime target for the punishment that needs to be handed out.

AS REPORTED BY THE MEDIA RESEARCH CENTER: (Oct 27, 2004)
1) Following the same strategy employed when CBS News came under
fire for the forged memos, on Tuesday night, while other news
outlet backtracked from their initial Monday night reporting on
how 377 tons of explosives went missing in Iraq under the watch
of
the U.S. Army, CBS plowed forward. With "Where Are They?" on
screen, Dan Rather teased: "Senator Kerry blasts the President
over those tons of missing explosives. And where are they?"
Later,
Rather declared: "Those missing explosives in Iraq are much more
than a headline or a political wedge issue. They are very real,
very powerful, and possibly in the hands of anti-American
guerrillas or terrorists." CBS acknowledged the political damage
the Monday hyping had done to the Bush campaign, though the
network also revealed that the IAEA had blocked destruction of
the
very stockpile. NBC's Jim Miklaszewski provided a through
rundown
on the possibilities of what happened to the explosives while
Tom
Brokaw was on the defensive about what NBC reported Monday
night,
claiming the Bush campaign mischaracterized their story. CNN's
Jamie McIntyre picked up on the proposition Hussein moved the
explosives before the war. FNC's Brit Hume talked to Dana Lewis,
who was embedded with the first troops on the scene.
2) Assuming facts not in evidence. Tuesday morning on CBS's
Early
Show, Harry Smith argued that the explosives missing in Iraq
have
"been made into bombs that have targeted U.S. troops." But
later,
on the CBS Evening News, David Martin would only go as far as to
relay, over video of an explosion, how "David Kay, who once
headed
the hunt for weapons of mass destruction, says after this
bombing
outside a mosque in Najaf, investigators found traces of the
same
kind of explosives."
