CBS to accept money for running slanderous anti-Clinton ad

I am sad and afraid, not to say terrified, after hearing that you will run anti-Clinton ads during "60 Minutes." Why are these OK to run but not MoveOn's anti-Bush ads? Really, I'm not writing as a Bush-hater, but as a concerned citizen. Is this fair? Are you an independent network? Are Republicans "more equal" than Democrats? Hearing stuff like this makes me really afraid for the future of an independent press in America, and, by extension, afraid for the future of our Republic. Please, act in the public interest! Don't abandon your audience for the sake of quick profit! Help us!Click here to contact CBS.
