CBS shilling for the Republicans tonight before 60 Minutes

Just getting ready to watch 60 Minutes when Roger hedgecock (Conservative talk radio host here in San Diego) had a 60 second piece in the format of 60 minutes talking about the wrongful activities of the Obama Administration regarding the IRS scandal. No proof of anything, just spewing Republican talking points right before 60 Minutes. That's it for me. I will not be watching 60 Minutes anymore. I cannot believe this.

The fact is any Democratic leaning advocacy/political groups could have made a counter play on that same darn station. Did you not read the previous poster's factual statement that the ad was a paid political ad. What did you want that local station to do? Not air it? Because it will offend butthurt Democrats like you?

How about you and I quit yammering about how bad this group or how this group is hurting America etc. Why don't we actually do something about it by raising money to make a counter point to every b.s. any Repub leaning groups throw out there. We play on the offense all the time, but the sad fact is in order for us to do that, we must raise "money" and lots of it. If you are not willing to do that, then quit yammering because this is the reality we are all in. Turning that damn station off or not watching a particular news program is surrendering to the group you want beat. It boggles the mind.

Got a winner. Redstone the Dino is going all in for 2016. He sold out Gore and Kerry in favor of Gerogie Boy cause he wanted someone favorable Business and Wall Street. Hillary???
