CBS (search) is once again in trouble with the bloggers. Last night, CBS News reported on Beverly Cocco of Philadelphia, portrayed as an ordinary parent and Bush supporter with two sons who is, "petrified" about her sons being called up in a draft. The report said, "she's not alone. ... mass e-mails are circulating among parents worried their kids could be called up ... [and] the acting director of the Selective Service believes he could start drafting people quickly."

But, as bloggers point out, what the story does not tell you is that the Selective Service says emphatically — on its Web site no less — it has no plans to conduct a draft, and Ms. Cocco is an anti-draft activist who heads a group called "Parents Against the Draft." As for those mass emails, they were debunked as false when they began circulating at least three months ago.

More "spin" from the negative thinking left side of the asile!

If you need to find out anything about cbs, just look in the dictionary under Bull****.

and as much as Rick likes to say Charlie Rangel was just trying to make a point, the only legislation pending in the Congress to authorize a draft, was authored by Democrats, but I'm sure they left that little detail out!

CBS Producer: Truth Irrelevant

CBS (search) is defending its story on Beverly Cocco of Philadelphia, whom CBS said was an ordinary parent, "petrified" that her sons could be forced into the military after receiving mass e-mails saying a draft was pending. CBS failed to mention that the Selective Service has declared it has no plans to conduct a draft, that those e-mails were debunked long ago, and that Ms. Cocco heads a group called "Parents Against the Draft."

Well, CBS correspondent Richard Schlesinger, who reported the piece, insists that rumors of a draft, "[have] gotten people all riled up" and "Whether or not there's any reality to [them] is almost besides the point." Schlesinger's producer goes even further, telling the blog INDC Journal, "the truth of the [mass] e-mails were absolutely irrelevant."
