CBS: Chosen by more damn, dirty apes than any other network.

It appears as though CBS was looking for more than girlish delight when it brought Katie Couric on board to helm the Evening News. They must have been looking for girlish delight with an 1890's twist. Think Progress has the story and video:

Last night, the CBS Evening News turned their broadcast over to a man named Brian Rohrbough, who lost his son during the Columbine massacre. Mr. Rohrbough proceeded to blame recent school shootings on: 1) the teaching of evolution, and 2) abortion.

Mr. Rohrbough suffered a great loss and is certainly entitled to his opinion. But CBS does not have to broadcast his extreme views to millions of people.

The commentary was an example of CBS News’ new “free speech” segement which has been dominated by conservative voices, according to an analysis by Media Matters.

Yes, we can feel bad for Mr. Rohrbough's loss, but the regrettable inanity of his argument-- the ol' leftist plot to replace God with social Darwinism (follow GOP economic policy much, Mr. Rorhbough?)-- would only have been appropriate fare for the evening news in, say, March of 1925. And it embarrassed much of the country even then.
