Video: Bill O’Reilly On ‘The Early Show’
CBS’s Harry Smith Tells Sean Penn He ‘Wept Openly’ Several Times During “Milk”
CBS’s Harry Smith played a clip on “The Early Show” of a brief interview he did with Sean Penn following the Oscar’s. Smith told Penn that he “wept openly” several times during “Milk” because “it really is a film about the civil rights movement.”
How lame can you get? I’m so tired of all the phony solidarity that liberals feel they have to show with the gays. It was a foregone conclusion that “Milk” would win at the Oscar’s. Anybody could have played Harvey Milk and they would have won. But, guess what liberals? No matter how many awards you give to commie pinko Sean Penn, gay marriage will still be illegal in California and Harry Smith will still be a tool.
Scalia On Bush v. Gore: Get Over It!
From CBS:
People who believe the U.S. Supreme Court’s decision giving the 2000 presidential election to George W. Bush was politically motivated should just get over it, says Justice Antonin Scalia.
Scalia denies that the controversial decision was political and discusses other aspects of his public and private life in a remarkably candid interview with 60 Minutes correspondent Lesley Stahl, this Sunday, April 27, at 7 p.m. ET/PT.
“I say nonsense,” Scalia responds to Stahl’s observation that people say the Supreme Court’s decision in Gore v. Bush was based on politics and not justice. “Get over it. It’s so old by now. The principal issue in the case, whether the scheme that the Florida Supreme Court had put together violated the federal Constitution, that wasn’t even close. The vote was seven to two,” he says, referring to the Supreme Court’s decision that the Supreme Court of Florida’s method for recounting ballots was unconstitutional.
Furthermore, says the outspoken conservative justice, it was Al Gore who ultimately put the issue into the courts. “It was Al Gore who made it a judicial question…. We didn’t go looking for trouble. It was he who said, ‘I want this to be decided by the courts,’” says Scalia. “What are we supposed to say — ‘Not important enough?’” he jokes.
Call him conservative, just don’t call him biased on issues before the Supreme Court, including abortion, he says. “I am a law-and-order guy. I mean, I confess to being a social conservative, but it does not affect my views on cases,” he tells Stahl. “On the abortion thing, for example, if indeed I were…trying to impose my own views, I would not only be opposed to Roe versus Wade, I would be in favor of the opposite view, which the anti-abortion people would like to see adopted, which is to interpret the Constitution to mean that a state must prohibit abortion.” “And you’re against that?” asks Stahl. “Of course. There’s nothing [in the Constitution to support that view].”
Kudos to Justice Scalia for speaking the truth about Bush V. Gore. The far-left still just can’t quit saying Bush “stole the election” even after all this time. That argument didn’t hold up in 2000, and it doesn’t fair any better in 2008.
CBS To Outsource Reporting To CNN
From The NYT:
CBS, the home of the most celebrated news division in broadcasting, has been in discussions with Time Warner about a deal to outsource some of its news-gathering operations to CNN, two executives briefed on the matter said Monday.
Over the last decade, CNN has held intermittent talks with both ABC News and CBS News about various joint ventures. But during the last several months, talks with CBS have been revived and lately intensified, according to the executives who asked for anonymity because of the confidential nature of the negotiations.
Broadly speaking, the executives described conversations about reducing CBS’s news-gathering capacity while keeping its frontline personalities, like Katie Couric, the CBS Evening News anchor, and paying a fee to CNN to buy the cable network’s news feeds.
Another possibility, these people said, would be for CBS to keep its correspondents in certain regions but pair them with CNN crews.
