"The house we hope to build is not for my generation but for yours. It is your future that matters. And I hope that when you are my age, you will be able to say as I have been able to say: We lived in freedom. We lived lives that were a statement, not an apology."

Heads Roll At CBS

The independent investigation of the infamous "memogate" scandal over at CBS was released today, and as a result four of those involved in running and producing the story were let go, including the piece's producer Mary Mapes. The investigative panel also recommended CBS take further steps to prevent open partisan hackery such as the forged memo scandal in the future, one of the suggestions being the creation of a "senior standards and practices" director responsible with making sure reporting is accurate and unbiased.

This would be a good start, but it is going to take a lot more than a standards director to change the overt liberal bias that exists not only over at CBS, but throughout the MSM. The rabid attempts to destroy the president throughout the '04 campaign was one of the most disgraceful spectacles I have ever witnessed, and everyone over at CBS, The New York Times, CNN, etc. should be absolutely ashamed of themselves. Not only were their actions unprofessional, they were an insult to every standard of fairness, truth, and responsibility that we Americans pride ourselves in. If the MSM wants to gain back the audience they have been losing over the years, they need to stop the character assassination of those they don't like and return to reporting the news as it happens, leaving their biases at the door.
