Rick Kaplan apparently has been at the airplane glue again. In a New York Times piece discussing how much more favorable the news coverage has been to Obama than it was to both Bush and Clinton, Kaplan, the Executive Producer of the CBS Evening News, gave a whopper of a quote full of self-delusion, personal bias, and a keen ignorance of what the news is supposed to be.
The newscasts reflect reality, said Rick Kaplan, executive producer of the ”CBS Evening News.” He said he believed that the president has done extraordinarily well. ”Everybody, including Republicans, would have to say that his first 100 days have been great,” he said.
First, the CBS newscast represent anything but reality. Actually, it best represents what he says in his second statement: His belief that the president has done extraordinarily well. Since that is what he believes, it is a fair assessment that, therefore, so does the CBS Evening News. This is proven by his third statement, which borders on, at best, a loose grip on reality. I know of no conservative (all of whom would certainly fall under the Republican umbrella), none, zero, who thinks Obama has even done marginally well. In fact, most conservatives believe Obama’s policies resemble those of a man bent on destroying our economy, our standard of living, and in taking our individual freedom and rights.
Guess that study on news bias was right on the money.

And this reflects your personal biases. I am a conservative who want to have nothing to do with neocon Bushtards that dominate the ranks of the pubes.
Bow before the Saudi King, apologize to the world, reveal vital national security secrets, turn your back on Israel, appear on Al Jazeera, nationalize the banks, nationalize the auto industry, appoint nothing but tax cheats and nuts to your cabinet, yea absolutely ‘great’….like the ‘great depression’ or the ‘great train robbery’
Well, I didn’t like a lot of what Bush did either, but that is not the point. Frankly, you sound exactly like a liberal who can’t let go of your hatred of Bush (only libs use the term “Bushtards” and “pubes”). My point was, as you know, but seem to want to ignore, is that I do not know of a single conservative who supports what Obama is doing. Which is a fact. I do not know of anybody. If you are a conservative, which is highly doubtful, and you think, like Kaplan does, that Obama’s first 100 days were “great,” then you are the first. And, of course, by definition then, you would not be a conservative.
Extraordinarily well? What, exactly, has he actually accomplished, besides being on a world tour, spending a preposterous amount of money and getting great press?
I do not know of any conservatives that support what Obama is doing; to the contrary, I know a lot of people who voted for Obama that are not very happy about how things are going.
Rick Kaplan must not get out much!!! The first 100 days have been a joke on the American People – larger deficit, being a “punk” on a world tour, apologizing, etc.
Go get ‘em, Bill!
God bless America!
His first 100 days definitely made an impact – a horrible one!
The country is losing patience with this and fast. There are many, man former Obama supporters who regret their vote. The country needs to recover from the infatuation with this guy!
