While your point may be valid, it goes both ways. And, there's a difference between being a reporter and a commentator. The same as the difference between a reporter and editorial writer in the print media.
As for Snake's points, I disagree with one and agree with another. I think CBS's credibility has suffered substantial damage.
I agree, though, that this was not done on purpose. Again, they couldn't afford risking losing the licenses of their owned stations. Remember again that on-air TV is government regulated.

So what? How has Fox's president made things bad? It seems that since Fox is considered the least biased that this political involvement does not transfer to his new job or that he doesn't have the power to transfer those views.
As for CNN, well having people on a CURRENT campaign and being ranked with much more bias shows that the network is not willing to say "Hey guys since you're working for Kerry, you can't be an unbiased employee."
