CBS Caves

When I read via Atrios that CBS was getting flack from the RNC about their upcoming miniseries about Reagan, I couldn't believe the GOP's audacity. Now that CBS is either going to cancel or drastically revise the miniseries, I can't believe the network's craveness.

Please, let's have no more talk about the liberal media, shall we?

WTF?

I don't even know what to say about this story.

The federal government Monday announced it is paying Linda Tripp and her attorneys $595,000 to settle allegations that the Department of Defense violated her privacy rights when confidential information about her was disclosed during the Monica Lewinsky scandal.

In addition, the government agreed to retroactively give Tripp three annual outstanding performance evaluations for her work at the Department of Defense, increasing the value of her retirement.

The irony. The hypocrisy. The blatant political payoff. The Bush administation isn't even trying to appear even-handed anymore.
