[QUOTE=BrainGlutton] I think he meant only that **his** reporting wasn’t biased; doesn’t forestall him from casting blame on the network as a whole. [/QUOTE] I’m relatively sure he maintained, and maintains to this day, the truth of the report…but I could be wrong on that. ---

[QUOTE=elucidator] Hey, everybody! The tighty righties are partying! Getting _down_! Wearing their drab. colorless native garb and flinging shredded spreadsheets into the air with marginal abandon. Doggies! A little disconcerting though, like watching Al Gore do the Funky Chicken. [/QUOTE] You know, it would be nice if you adhered to the rules of this forum and actually posted something to debate the subject at hand, instead of snarky remarks that seem to nothing more than insults to the posters you disagree with. Isn’t that against the rules of this forum? ---

[QUOTE=BrainGlutton] I think he meant only that **his** reporting wasn’t biased; doesn’t forestall him from casting blame on the network as a whole. [/QUOTE] You know, I read the original complaint wrong. He wasn’t saying the original report was biased; he was saying the report **on** the report was biased…and **that** is going to be a tough one to prove. ---

I wonder if he sees that pile of cash that CBS gave Imus, and thinks we should get some of that action. ---

I’m not sure what this is, but it is not a debate, great or petty. I guess it is a collection of opinions: off to **IMHO**. [/Moderating] ---

Just because he’s right this time doesn’t mean I want him to win. He’s made a living out of screwing other people over to line his pockets. It’s time he ate a little crow and hid in a cave. One more guy who was so lucky he forgot how good he’s had it compared to working stiffs. ---
