[edit] See BS News
Some people reported that the producers of the news programs picked the people they interviewed to shape the stories into what they wanted to present, which was not necessarily the truth. For example, if someone offered to give an opposite opinion, the producers would filter out the "noise" so that their stories would appear more consistent. People aware of how these news programs were produced or unhappy with Dan Rather's way of making up news would jokingly rename these programs as "See BS (bullshit) News".

[edit] POV Problem
The line "Founded on the hard-fact reporting of Edward R. Murrow, whose standards for excellence were extremely high, CBS News in recent years has turned its reporters into commentators, in an apparent effort to "shape" the news and be more entertaining" seems to me to be a somewhat loaded accusation, without substantiation.
Trivia should we put it has no theme tune?
Note: This whole Wikipedia CBS News page is really strange and abbreviated. There are references to episodes of manipulation (as if, in television news, this is somehow exclusive to CBS!), yet virtually nothing about the rich history of the network's news division, references to William Paley's CBS virtually pioneering the entire broadcast news genre, no mention (!) of Edward R. Murrow, CBS Reports, Cronkite's commentary (labeled as "commentary" by the way) against the Vietnam war (LBJ said "if I've lost Cronkite, I've lost mid-America" and did not run for re-election), the network's many awards and many, many substatial and important documentaries like "Harvest Of Shame", etc. But we do get "Dan Rather makes up the news". This is Kindergarden stuff. This Wikipedia CBS article is ridiculously slight and only seems to portray the network in simplistic, right-wing talkradio cliches. Shamefull. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.252.242.230 (talk) 13:28, 5 December 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:CBSNews.png
Image:CBSNews.png is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.
Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.
If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion.
