The MSM, big money and the lil guy

Remember when the news was news?
Remember it didnt matter, even if it was bad news, it was still good news? As any news is good news, right? Even if its bad, it gets your name out there, well, it appears CBS's name is getting out there


Technology reviews by website CNET have long been respected for their thoroughness and integrity, but that reputation has come under scrutiny after a top reporter quit over what he says is editorial interference by its parent company, CBS Corp.

The dispute centers on CNET's choice of best gadgets from last week's International CES show in Las Vegas.

CNET voted Dish Network Corp.'s "Hopper with Sling" the best home theater and audio product. Because CBS is in a legal fight with Dish over the Hopper's ad-skipping capabilities, CBS vetoed the selection, saying the product couldn't be considered "Best of CES." Instead, CNET's official selection was a sound bar from TV maker Vizio.

Sounds like corporate @ss covering.

If money is involved, sure. Or some guy is holding a personal grudge and using the company as leverage.

Maybe we can get the Occupy folks to protest CBS.
