Symbolic CBS
Hardly big or important news, but the new CBS anchor, Katie Couric, was apparently "touched up" a bit in photos to offer a leaner image.
A harmless and rather trite exercise in the new journalism but more than symbolic regarding the way the mainstream media depicts "facts," and clearly symbolic of what we can expect more of from an institution that's at least as dishonest as the political class.
It might be added that the New York liberal princess is on par with Dan Rather in her beliefs -- and desire to embed them in her reporting.
"Mainstream" media journalists - all the nonsense of academia but with higher pay.
