I noted that again yesterday, CBS (Leslie Stahl from 60 Minutes) admitted to "holding" a story at the express request of the Government involving the alleged spying of (elder moment, can't remember the name) the man who we were paying $300,000 per month to advise us on the war and post war. If that network leaned left, there's no way that would have happened. In fact, they take huge amounts of flack for allowing the government to "censor" thier journalistic efforts. I call it being a good citizen. Recall that they did the same thing -- two weeks in a row -- on the Prison scandal.

Without the details of what info she held and more important why she held the story your point deosn't mean shit.
EVERY network holds stories and parts of stories for many different reasons only one of which is political. A few monts ago when Bush secretly visited Iraq all the major networks were handfed PR info from the Bush administration but they were all asked to hold off on the story until after Bush left Iraq. They held the story because of security. Since they all held the story does it mean all the networks are conservative?
