The obvious reason why CBS can't fully apologize.

[grasswire]

Apparently, CBS has made a strategic choice to go after the Tea Party types to increase its audience and steal viewers from FOX.

Looks like CBS has been working diligently toward that goal.

So apologizing for FOX style reportage would harm that trajectory.

It wouldn't be prudent, in the eyes of the suits in the news division.

1. I believe you're right

But the really stupid part of that decision is that in trying to grab right wing viewers they'll lose the core audience of liberals and independents, which is a far larger audience for a show thats traditionally been that last remaining news show that was still drawing them on a regular basis in large numbers.

Adding to the stupidity of that ploy is the fact that even Fox News has seen a stagnation (if not an actual decline) in viewers, making the target group a declining demographic.

2. but the wingnuts that CBS has hired would not recognize that stupidity.

Delusion does not make for good strategic decisions.

4. Fire Lara Logan

People need to contact 60 Minutes and tell them to fire Lara Logan. She is a Neocon. We propped up 60 Minutes to where it is today...not the Tea Party.

8. it isn't just Lara Logan

CBS hired a FOX executive.

There is rot at the top.

9. Agreed

They need to get rid of both of them.

3. I think you've nailed it.

They no longer want to be a news organization, they want to be just another Faux Nooz because heaven knows we don't have enough of those now.

5. You're right, but.....

...it's not just that. As the Internets and other forms of communication evolve they become superfluous. They know that their true trajectory is toward oblivion.

- They're simply trying to delay the inevitable.....
