I don't remember liberals upset with CBS like they are with Newscorp?
When Dan Rather ran a story about GW right before the election with forged documents trying to stop his re-election. The silence from the liberals was deafening. Why are they so upset with Rupert Murdock and Newscorp? I just can't figure it out.

The left are all about (selective outrage). This is why no one should ever take their phony convictions seriously. The only real convictions those on the left have is sticking it to conservatives however necessary. They don't care about their own hypocrisy.
I see the left wing mob is up tis morning.

Because Newscorps is a GOP propaganda machine that pays its employees TO LIE just to improve ratings
I suppose you can prove all of this? If this is true, then would it be fair to state that before NBCUniversal took over, that Microsoft and General Electric were a propaganda machine for the democratic party and used MSNBC to help spread it's propaganda?

It's one thing to say something about a politician. But the information on the documents about George Bush's National Guard Service was correct. He disobeyed orders. He skipped his last physical. He was constantly missing drills. And Lt. Bush's fellow pilots resented him. Dan Rather and CBS were very correct in their reporting. http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2004/09/15/60II/mai...
On the other hand, when NEWS Corp. (owner of Fox News) listened in on the voice mails of 9/11 victims and their families and then deleted some to make room for more, that is completely disgraceful. Looks Rupert Murdoch (he's 80) and NEWS Corp are going down hard.

Because Newscorps is a GOP propaganda machine that pays its employees TO LIE just to improve ratings. Glen Beck ADMITTED THIS ON CAMERA. He ALMOST didn't SAY that, but he certainly IMPLIED it. Z. CBS is a legitimate 84 YEAR OLD and counting corporation with journalists who USUALLY do NOT lie. Murdoch Enterprises is an almost monopoly IN THE USA, because of agreements with Gannet, which owns large numbers of Fox affiliate TV stations in the United States.

Let's assume that some people who find your question have no idea what you're talking about re CBS. Can you give a reputable news link to that story? Then I can compare it to what's been happening recently with News Corp and hopefully give you an informed answer.

I can see how a person would believe that, if they didn't watch any news other than Rupert Murdoch media. A lot of people were upset. Rather lost his job and several others involved lost their jobs too.
Just because you didn't see it, doesn't mean it didn't happen.

Frankly, I haven't seen much commenting from Republicans about News Corp or Fox News.

research where the forged documents came from and how much effort went in to the decision to release the real story but the docs were forged.

Can't you count the number of Newscorp fabrications since then? Can anyone count that high?

Bush had to be stopped any way, any how. Look at the devastation he left.
