Countering CBS

Since CBS and 60 Minutes is staging yet another propped up "interview" with Elian Gonzalez, I'd like to call your attention to a documentary that shreds the Network and this "News Program" to bits. I ran this documentary during the Cuba Nostalgia convention and those that watched it were red faced with anger.

The Rats Below by Agustin Blazquez.

It is a fascinating story of intrigue and deceptions that the U.S. media censored because of the economic and political leverage of this corporation that sponsors many of the leading political programs on the major TV and Radio networks.

It is a story kept hidden because of the prevalent U.S. media dislike for a minority group in America.

It is a story of secret corporate manipulation of the U.S. government, the media and the American people creating support for their corporate greed, all while staying hidden just under the surface.

This complex story unravels through the testimonies of: DAVID HOECH, DELFIN GONZALEZ, DENNIS K. HAYS, JAMES B. LIEBER, JIM GUIRARD, LARRY KLAYMAN, MYLES KANTOR & REED IRVINE.

This limited Special Edition DVD also features Dan Rather “60 Minutes” an inside view, an 8-min. interview with Pedro Porro, A.I.A., retired Architect of the U.S. Treasury Department in Washington, DC. Mr. Porro participated in the production of a segment of “60 Minutes” and reveals what he found to be a serious manipulation specifically designed to influence the conclusions of the audience.

This interview was taped on May 18, 2003 - before the scandal on CBS about the “60 Minutes” Dan Rather segment criticizing president Bush in relation to his military service based on fake documents - Mr. Porro came forward and revealed this inside view.

Mr. Porro was hired in April 2000 as a translator (English to Spanish) for the interview by Dan Rather of Juan Miguel Gonzalez, the father of Elian Gonzalez, the 6-year old boy involved in an international custody dispute between Fidel Castro’s regime and a humble Cuban American family in Miami during the Clinton administration.

Mr. Porro participated in the 10-hour taping session for "60 Minutes." Greg Craig -Clinton’s lawyer during his impeachment process, who also acted as lawyer for Juan Miguel Gonzalez and as advisor to John Kerry during his presidential campaign - was present and involved.

While taping the Dan Rather interview, Mr. Porro observed what appears to be one more pattern of deception by Dan Rather, "60 Minutes" and CBS.

The DVD is available for Purchase at the link above, or if you live in Miami, it will be premiering at The Tower Theater, Saturday, October 22, 2005 at 8 p.m.

I am contacting Agustin Blazquez to see if he has a short video premiere that I can post here. Stay tuned.

This past Sunday, 60 Minutes ran an "interview" with Elian Gonzalez, who is now 11 years old. Elian, you recall, was the 6-year old boy who was picked up at sea by two fisherman and taken ashore, where an international custody battle between Fidel Cast... [Read More]

I am in the process of putting together a "letter" to the FCC which as we know does not do anything about "content" unless it's an obscenity, but the FCC does act to protect the public interest where it has received documented evidence of rigging or slanting of the news. This kind of evidence could include testimony, in writing or otherwise, from "insiders" or persons who have direct personal knowledge of an intentional falsification of the news. Of particular concern would be evidence about orders from station management to falsify the news and willful misleading of the public. CBS has a very long public record here.

I don't know how many of you are familiar with the book "Bias" by Bernard Goldberg, an ex-CBS reporter and Miami resident. Goldberg is a liberal who attacks the MSM for liberal bias in reporting. He particularly nails his former colleague Dan Rather and his former bosses at CBS.

It is a great book which pretty much exposes all the things we already know about the MSM. I highly recommend picking up the book at your local book store.

Thanks Robert, I know of the book but haven't read it yet. An interesting aside, I went to Borders on my way home tonight looking for it. They didn't have it, never heard of it. This is the third or fourth time I have not been able to find, for want of a better term, a "conservative" book there.
