In a report on the filibuster affair, CBS's Gloria Berger quoted Ken Starr as saying, "This is a radical, radical departure from our history and from our traditions, and it amounts to an assault on the judicial branch of government." The way the report was set up, it is implied that he is talking about the Republicans efforts to end the filibusters. That's certainly what CBS wanted you to think. Funny thing is, Starr says that's not at all what he was tlaking about when he said this. He was, in fact, talking about the Democrats efforts to use the filibuster and not allow a Constitution mandated up or down vote. More specifically, he was tlaking about how Republicans have confirmed justices who were ACLU lawyers without filibustering, despite the fact that the candidate's views were completely antithetical to them. Starr feels the Dems are completely in the wrong, and CBS chose to take his words out of context and reverse his meaning to fit their liberal desires. In other words, CBS has once again proven that they are left-wing bias. Every night you can find multitudes of examples of left-wing bias on CBS News, and none of right-wing bias. Those who still don't feel they are biased after the memogate scandal and now this are sticking their heads in the sand. If I were Starr, I'd be tempted to sue for defamation. Their portrayal of him as siding with the liberals is an insult.
