Running things against the president was popular on all networks when Clinton was president too. It's sensationalism and all networks do it.

The holier than thou righties quickly forget just how badly ALL networks dog piled on Clinton. I wonder of at this time ALL networks were considered right wing? Probably not, there was something else for them to whine about the "old media" being biased against the poor conservatives I'm sure. The level of hypocrasy displayed by the right never ceases to amaze me. They whine and complain about bias, yet their media outlets are so over the top biased it is embarssing. Yet they still point fingers and cry, all the time calling themselves fair and balanced and the other side biased. I always laugh at this because the local Clear Channel talk radio station (blatant RW Hate radio) claimed to be objective on election night yet when they announced the winner of State they had very different sound byte recordings. Bush states were announced with a huge fan fair recording and a cheering crowd. Kerry states were announced with a recording of an old woman saying John "F'n" Kerry and a chorus of boos. Yeah, objectivity is a very objective thing I guess.
CBS is the furthest left of the major media outlets, but they are not that far off of where center used to be. The advent of CNN and especially FoxNews has dragged the center line further right, forcing the left leaning CBS to the far extreme of the spectrum. The funny thing is that if you plotted the leanings of the media outlets on a graph, you could take all of the other stations measurements off of center, add them up, and they still wouldn't come close to where FoxNews is on right of center. But you will never see this becaise they are too busy waiving their arms in the air and crying foul, getting you to focus on the other guys and not watching the practices that Fox follows.
