In general I have noticed that CBS (in particular) is not
pro-{liberal,conservative} as much as it is anti-whoever-is-in-the-white-house
I seem to remember some real zinggers that they shot/dropped at/on
Carter/Mondale. All in all they seem to have been (over time) fairly even
handed.

P.S. I always disbelieve 80% of what they tell me on TV, just for practice.
     Sometimes it's very easy, sometimes it's very hard, always it's
     interesting (Now why did they say that, at this time?).
