Found this on FR.

Unbelievable. A producer is fired for cutting into CSI to announce Arafats latest death and is fired, but it's OK to try to influence the election with presentation of forged documents.

I guess they don't think that the pigs death is news enough to distract their audience from the sop opera illusions they prefer to feed folks

| LOL! I have to laugh, my husband was just complaining about this yesterday, that he missed the last 10 minutes of CSI because they broke in. |

Would God that the axed "senior producer" were Mary Mapes.
I know I know too much to hope for

Ya know what's truely pathetic? CBS probably got 2-3 times the number of complaints about cutting away from CSI than they did about the forgeries!
Sad......  |

If they fired him for that then they should have fired Rather. What Rather did was far worse. Brrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr.....................  |

Considering that they fired someone over this whole issue kinda restores ones faith in what America thinks is more important.

| I thought that was pretty funny. CBS got a lot of complaints about interrupting CSI to announce Arafat's death. It was certainly inappropriate to interrupt regular programming to announce the death of a known terrorist. |
