Rightwing charges CBS/Amazon plot to sell anti-Bush books

[wyldwolf]

RatherBiased.com has received official confirmation from an ad executive at CBSNews.com that the network's Web site is a business partner with Amazon.com.

In an interview, CBSNews.com sales director David Ghiraldini verified the existence of the relationship but declined to discuss the partnership or its ethical ramifications for a news organization profiting from the sale of controversial political books, especially since CBS News isn't known for being particularly friendly with conservative authors.

Interesting, huh?

Look what other website is partnered with Amazon.com to sell books. (lower middle-right column)

I also see no end to the constant promotion of these books on the various primetime shows on this channel.

Glass houses and all. Right?

1. I'm sure amazon has partnering agreements

with just about every major publisher. What's the biggie?

2. Now if someone could just find a link between Regnery Publishing and...

..anything Murdoch related...

3. The Repubs are such Hypocrites...

...they weren't this outraged over the INDUSTRY that was created trying to drag Clinton down - Everything the Dems do now is labled as "politically motivated"....everything they do is righteous. Makes me sick.

10. It's An Ugly Vicious Circle

The repubs are caught in an endless struggle to become parodies of themselves.

4. Why does ratherbiased hate America so much?

Don't they believe in the free market? Are they saying that CBS is doing something illegal? The Bush administration has proved that ethics don't matter, like the Reagan administration before it proved that deficits don't matter.

Maybe the people at ratherbiased would prefer to live in the Sudan? I know I'd prefer they were there. Carrying a great big Target Stores bag.

5. as opposed to the clearchannel/regnery cabal?

hypocrites

[eaprez]

9. or as opposed to FOX

6. Probably doesn't have a problem

with Hannity, Coulter books being bought in bulk by conservative groups to give the appearance that people are actually reading them. Or having pop ups on Drudge offering them for 3 for a $1.

These idiots compalin about ethics when they wouldn't know an ethic if it jumped up and bit them on their asses. :crazy:

7. So CBS and Amazon have a relationship?

And that relationship leads to a liberal bias? CBS? The same network that refused to air a Reagan TV movie? The same network that refused to air a MoveOn ad during the Boob Bowl? The same network that aired an anti-Clinton ad when Rather interviewed Big Dog as a private citizen? If CBS has a liberal bias I am JFK, and I didn't know JFK, but believe me, I'm no JFK.

8. Waaaaa

RW 101:
Criticize other people for not being objective.
Be as subjective as you want.

(It's a great little racket.)

11. Last I checked Amazon was still selling Mann Coulter's books

So what's the big "left" conspiracy"?

[Hornito]

12. Oh boo hoo. Fascist bastards can dish it, but whine like babies

when they think things aren't falling their way. Fuck em'.
