CBS Pres kisses ass

Mr. Heyward Goes to Washington


By Staff -- Broadcasting & Cable, 1/2/2005 11:07:00 PM

Let the fence-mending begin. According to a Broadcasting & Cable source in Washington, D.C., CBS News president Andrew Heyward, along with Washington bureau chief Janet Leissner, recently met with White House communications director Dan Bartlett, in part to repair chilly relations with the Bush administration.


CBS News’ popularity at the White House—never high to begin with—plunged further in the wake of Dan Rather’s discredited 60 Minutes story on George Bush’s National Guard service.

An incentive for making nice is the impending report from the two-member panel investigating CBS's use of now-infamous documents for the 60 Minutes piece.

Heyward was “working overtime to convince Bartlett that neither CBS News nor Rather had a vendetta against the White House,” our source says, “and from here on out would do everything it could to be fair and balanced.” CBS declined to comment.

They wanna be Fox?

Dan Rather has an entire closet filled with cheerleader sweaters with big letters C on them (for Clinton). I fully expected him to wave pompoms during the DNC coverage in the 90s. But they have no bias. Riiiii-iiiight.

So from here on out, they're gonna really really try to start being fair in their coverage. Riiiii-iiiiight. Everybody waiting on that to happen, I got some screen doors for submarines I'll sell ya cheap.
