Golly, another misrepresented article by BN. Color me surprised.

To finish the paragraph that included his quote in it, "...This position requires strong people, reporting, story telling and writing skills. Managing tight deadlines should be second nature. Knowledge of the enviro beat is a big plus, but not a requirement."

Doesn't sound like "no experience needed!!" to me. I agree with Sheep.

Ironically, CBS news demonstrates no regard for the carbon footprint this job creates. The Ad includes....."Be prepared to see America. Heavy domestic travel."
LOL.....


CBS News might as well hang a big sign on the front door that reads... "Biased leftists wanted"
So you would think such a job would require a science background or years of covering environmental news? Not if you're CBS!!

Apparently.... "wicked smart, funny, irreverent and hip" is good enough!!

CBS must be desperate to push more GW agenda down everyones throats....

One would think a degree in Environmental Science would be a needed qualification?
Not just "story telling ability"

HEH.....all they seek is a dumb lib activist with no science background to blather on about a "Planet in Peril".

That sums up the entire environmental debate.

Perhaps this person is a gofer on the road trips for the regular crew, or another assistant something or other? I wonder if Fox has any unbiased scientists on their staff for this beat, or just some bush wannabees

Yep...libs make decisions based on story telling/emotion......not facts. You said it all right there.

You totally missed the real issue here. (somehow I am not surprised)

As I have said before. The problem with the news these days is not some perceived liberal bias as the conservatives would have you believe.

The problem as I see it is...

A. News is business, and bad news sells. News (specially on TV) has to fight for the ratings and advertiser dollars just like some lame sit-com. So they tend to dwell on sensationalist stories, doom and gloom topics, and controversial issues.

B. Media conglomeration. There are really very few real news outlets. All the news shows get their stories from the same limited sources, AP, Ruters, and I can't remember the other. Every commercial radio station in my town is owned by the same company. They used to all have their own journalists, news rooms, and broadcasters. Now they don't really have a "news room" at all and the same "news personality" reads the same news stories off "the wire" on all the stations.

Now back to this liberal bias thing. The media in a free country is the voice of the opposition, the voice of the little guy. Since I can not attend a Presidential news conference and ask the President tough questions I expect the news media to do it. If we allow the media to be controlled by the government you end up with the likes of the Iraqi information minister.
