CBS news busted selling pro-Obama merchandise on their web site

Of course no one would every accuse them of being biased...

So someone has busted CBS news for selling Obama related merchandise on their web site.

They even have a little menu for it on the left.... (good thing it wasn't on the right side of the page)

Good, about time they learn from Fox :thumbsup:

A company selling things people might want to buy? I thought you right wingers were all about the free market.

When a right wing web site question them about it they quickly took the stuff down...
Except the stuff is still there if you search for it under Obama's name

Of course no one would ever accuse them of being biased... when you search for Bush you do get a result... for a 2005 USC football dvd (Reggie Bush)

Romney gets no results

Same with McCain
http://cbs.resultspage.com/search?p=Q&w=mccain&asug=
Reagan gets a result though!! For a Family Ties season DVD
http://cbs.resultspage.com/search?p=Q&w=Reagan
Nothing for Clinton either.

So the ONLY political stuff on their web site is either Obama or Ted Kennedy's Bridge Over Troubled Water aka his memoir


Of course none of this is a sign of bias at all. The most left wing of the major networks selling Obama's merchandise is probably an honest mistake.... :rolleyes:

The CBS store offers Mr Obama's best selling book and videos about Mr Obama's 2008 POTUS campaign election.

I checked out FOX News

Thanks for the link. Out of curiosity, I checked out the website. Funny as hell to see all the same talking points at Fox Nation being used here in this forum verbatim.:D

Yeah, I noticed that the videos listed on the FOX Nation website almost matched the thread topics on ATP&N's first two pages.

Not surprising when one can actually make $ fluffing for the GOP on popular forums. Cheerleading for America to fail so it might make Obama look bad while making a buck off of it?

Patriots...

I'm bummed out. I thought the righties here had some original thought.

You just gave Foxnews a great idea for their online merchandise:
1) bullwhip
2) iron ankle shackles
3) "I <3 Strom Thurmond" t-shirts
4) Super strong rope to tie around your donkey's neck, to ensure it doesn't chew it in half
5) double barrel shotgun for squirrel hunting
6) AK47 with grenade launcher and armor piercing bullets for squirrel hunting
7) Squirrel meat in a can
8) Strawberry Kiwi flavored chew tobacco
