CBS news' credibility doesn't make for a hill of beans

Yeah, it does for news junkies like most of us are but remember, the average TV watcher puts more creedence in who's screwing who on Survivor than the validity of sources for Dan Rather. If Viacom's stock success is directly proportional to the credibility of their newscast then they have much worse problems to deal with.

Besides, what's more important here, CBS allegedly doing poor research on a topic few care about or all the US networks falling in line with the military during the war to provide only sanitized versions of what was going on? Let's get some perspective here.

Personally, I've never really cared for Dan Rather so I could care less how this all turns out. I really doubt anyone's vote will be influenced by the whole mess.
