    Right. Of course you believe this. Apparently no one from CBS ever bothered to look at their own web site. Nothing unbelievable about that!

    Ah. So Glenn Beck was lying. Or intellectually incompetent. And the right fell for it, hook, line, and sinker. Imagine that [​IMG]

    The storefront is run by some vendor called "seenon.com".

    Code:
    DELIVERY AGENT
© 2011 SeenOn | A Delivery Agent Company
Delivery Agent, Inc. is the seller of all SeenOn Private Sale merchandise and 
is solely responsible for all aspects of your purchase

[url]www.seenon.com[/url]
    "Seenon" itself is run by some vendor called "Delivery Agent", which has, among it's clients, CBS. As well as NBC, HBO, A&E, and -- wait for it -- Fox! [​IMG] http://www.deliveryagent.com/

    Here's the OP's prize:

    I think the more pertinent thing for some to shop for would be along the lines of what the scarecrow in the Wizard of Oz was seeking. . . .

    Well, it seems that this thread just keeps on giving.... from the Fox Online Store (hosted by the same company that hosts CBS'):

    Tell "CBS Interactive" they don't have a store. They are under the impression they do. Perhaps they (CBS) contracts out to some third party to run it for them (actually, this is exactly what happens) but CBS is still selling their crap on line and they are responsible for what is sold there. Go fish!

    CBS has a news division, I hope we all agree, as well as other programming.
    When their online store is selling Obama related items more than half the time, there is a terrible problem with CBS being seen as shilling for Obama.

    I know CBS agrees, because when they "found out" of the situation they immediately removed the items in question.

    Thanks for the warning.

    I now know that I don't need to take your posts seriously.

    If that's your critique than swoosh!

    The point flew well above your head.

    Indeed I will.

    The misnamed, "Think for myself" was responding that since CBS now no longer had Obama merchandise for sale at their website, the fact that they did is irrelevant.

    Getting caught and dumping the evidence does not mean that it never happened. The poster's "question" wasn't a real question at all, but merely a set up, and a fairly lame one at that.

    Oh! I get it. So if you believe a question isn't a question, it isn't.

    What, you can't start your own thread about Fox News? This thread is about CBS. It's a shame these things have to be explained to the self-styled elites.

    Is he trying to obfuscate and defend the CBS News action? If so... the answer is "yes".

    Well, but it's true. And, Bernie Maddoff isn't screwing people out of their money, as of yesterday.

    Yep, people can see right through that "fair and balanced" stuff.

    .............Yes. I don't mind admitting to my failings. I also suffer from white out.

    How about you? On both scores?

    It's indeed gratifying to know that one bright spark exists in the USA.

    My God! You must feel lonely.
