Wake up. Imagine that you are in Nazi Germany and the media is only a propaganda machine for the party in power. You are there now. If only the people in Germany would have paused and actually THOUGHT about the material that was being presented to them by the "mainstream media".

Wake up.
As some have learned from that experience, many have not. It's just too easy to trust government largess.

This was not crafted for profit, it was crafted for political idealogy. It single handedly ruins the credibility of the involved reporters, and from the pathetic and dishonest "explanation", the station manager as well.

It also ruins the credibility of the larger MSM for not reporting on this.

If you mean five dollars, and not dollar bills, I'd JUMP for joy - bad knees and all.
Silver is $25 / ounce, (that's dollar bills)
Five dollars (silver 1 ounce coins) computes to $125 FRNs / day...not bad.

There is a difference between a CBS station and a CBS affiliate. But I think you know that.
Kinda reminds about the local FOX affiliate that went to court and the lefties on here yelled how FOX itself was the culprit. In fact many still do.

The annual Big Dance would certainly be a better lot better for those of us who watch it on tv without some of the people CBS uses. Clark Kellogg would be the first one I would like to see go.

This actually sounds pretty benign. "According to a transcript posted by Miller’s campaign, a female employee, speaking about an upcoming Miller rally, said: “We know that out of all the people that will show up tonight, at least one of them will be a registered sex offender.”

“You have to find that one person,” a male reporter responded, with laughter audible in the background.

Palin calls Alaska media ‘corrupt bastards’ over leaked voicemail | The Daily Caller - Breaking News, Opinion, Research, and Entertainment

A campaign supporter? So what? Writing an article that says "X, convicted child molester, supports Joe Miller!" would just make the paper look stupid and desperate.

I don't think this is as nefarious as Sarah Palin would have you believe.
I heard Palin talking about nearly not being able to wait until they could play that tape. Of course, coming from her that wouldn't be so bad for libs and their media friends.
