The problem with the media in this country, even though some of them say they don't lean one way or another, they have their own bias depending on who is in power in the government whether they are anti or pro toward the current presidential administration and I'm talking about the present, past and future. Its always been that way and just because someone is a publisher, editor or owner of a news media outlet it doesn't exempt them from having their own political thoughts and feelings and because they are only human they will lean in one direction or another. Obviously in this report they were trying to discredit President Obama
Now I am far from being pro Obama however in my opinion CBS News is anti President Obama and are looking for ways to discredit him and his people and where in such a hurry to do so that they failed to completely check out their source and because the information provided by this source aligned with some of the beliefs belonging to people in charge of CBS and 60 Minutes they weren't as thorough as normal in verifying the information in this report.
Like I said before it doesn't matter what media outlet it is, they do lean one way or another however the normal method when it comes to a anti administration media outlet and a report that is anti administration they will still verify there sources and not put out false reports, and if something that is a pro administration report they just won't mention it or bury it on page 10.
What CBS did here in trying to discredit the current president was a major fail, and they ended up discrediting themselves.
