Nanker Posted March 11, 2014 Share Posted March 11, 2014 (edited) Liberal bias, my foot! Why just last night I saw with my own eyes, Morley Safer giving Frank Underwood a going-over the likes that would have made Edward R. Murrow swell with pride, honor, and emotion.

Tiberius Posted March 11, 2014 Share Posted March 11, 2014 ", who has been with CBS News for two decades, had grown frustrated with what she saw as the network’s liberal bias, an outsize influence by the network’s corporate partners and a lack of dedication to investigative reporting, several sources said. She increasingly felt that her work was no longer supported and that it was a struggle to get her reporting on air." So they didn't give her a raise so quit and said it was corporate influence, liberal bias this that and everything. Was the corporate influence liberal? Sounds like a typical disgruntle employee Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim in Anchorage Posted March 11, 2014 Share Posted March 11, 2014 Yes disgruntled employees are usually the one's that quit. Sharp of you to point that out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you know anything about people standing on principle? Now, give me your usual response. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And you don't think your job conditions as far as answering to bosses that come and go cannot change over 20 years? I think you're in for a hard fall.

I think you're in for a hard fall. Let's see where she lands before we canonize the woman. No one knows her true motives yet. If she ends up at a conservative cable outlet or radio type gig then I would tend to think it's a hollow gesture and Chef has a point. If she ends up doing independent reporting then you got something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

\GoBillsInDallas/ Posted March 12, 2014 Author Share Posted March 12, 2014 As long as she brought along the CBS hair and makeup people, absolutely. So basically, you're telling us that you want to have a foursome with her, her gay male hairdresser and her gay male makeup artist. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If she ends up doing independent reporting then you got something. Her negotiating her way out of her contract leads me to believe that she likely has a non-compete clause which will limit her television options for a short while. I'm guessing she writes a book, and goes on the speaking circut. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
