CBS biased? You don’t say?

Via Guy Benson:

Some CBS News managers are so “ideologically entrenched,” Attiksson explained, that they’re willing to quash or bury reports that could inflict political damage on the sitting administration. These influential figures “never mind the stories that seem to — for example, and I did plenty of them — go against the grain of the Republican Party. But they do seem to feel defensive about, almost personally defensive about, stories that could make the [current] government look bad.” Stelter drilled down a bit, asking if Attkisson was similarly steered away from pursuing negative pieces about the previous administration. Her answer was unequivocal: “I didn’t sense any resistance in doing stories that were perceived to be negative to the Bush administration. By anybody, ever.” Adversarial journalism with conservatives in the crosshairs (for which Attkisson has won Emmys) was encouraged, it would seem, while pieces that risked crossing Team Obama faced additional obstacles.
