CBS Upset At McCain Over Katie Couric
September 11th, 2008
US television network CBS has expressed anger over John McCain’s unauthorized use of a news report from Katie Couric being used in his current political advertising campaign. Watch the commercial here.
The 40-second clip, which has been removed from You Tube, uses a grab of Couric’s news bulletin talking about sexism in the lead up to the election in November.
CBS attacked the use of the clip releasing a statement saying, “CBS News does not endorse any candidate in the Presidential race. Any use of CBS personnel in political advertising that suggests the contrary is misleading.”
Watch the commercial and leave comments below.

Typical McCain——Let’s hope this old man doesn’t make it to the White House! I am tired of his cheap shots and lying to grab attention. Maybe if we only allowed the educated citizens to vote, people with above average wisdom—-then McCain would not have a chance. I am a retired, white woman. I am disgusted with McCain tactics.

It's too bad McCain didn't win, now we got someone named Barack Obama who didn't even WANT to win this election but had to instead be coaxed by Harry Reid (do your research, guys, he called him up) and now our debt will triple what Bush imposed. GREAT move, people, aren't we the smart ones!
