[BC] Boston CBS cutbacks

[Robert Meuser]

True about News anchors unless they are also a managing editor.

  As for bias, that is a misconception. If you believe that, you are 
taking the whole situation too seriously. Its all about entertainment 
and what will sell. If some high school kid shoots up his school, then 
guns are bad that day. if someone blows away a home invader and defends 
his family then guns are good, especially if the police are  trying to 
charge the guy.  Illegal aliens are good when they are persecuted but 
bad if they kill a family while driving unlicensed or if they happen to 
be driving semis either legally or otherwise.

Watch anything you like on TV - entertainment, sports, or news. They are 
all built with the same basic template, A scene set, the drama of the 
moment, tease to the drama of the moment, commercial, reset, scene set 
next new drama, tease to it, commercial etc. The content in between 
doesn't make much difference.

If you take news seriously at all and you don't like what is said, it is 
a liberal conspiracy if you are conservative and a right wing conspiracy 
  if you are liberal. In fact it is neither. It is commercially 
supported content.
