Rathergate - CBS Affiliate: Raleigh, NC Responds Filed under: General— Mike @ 10:28 pm From a reader: Response from WRAL: Dear Terry, First, thank you for taking the time to contact us regarding the CBS News story about President Bush’s military record. To say the least, we are very concerned about the controversy surrounding the memos used as the basis for their story. Letters and emails of concern like yours have been flooding WRAL as I am sure the rest of the affiliate stations across the country. CBS is feeling the heat. Below is the latest industry story regarding this CBS story. [long boring industry story deleted] As for WRAL-TV News, which is locally owned and operated by Capitol Broadcasting Company of Raleigh, we will continue to provide the most accurate and unbiased local news to our viewers. I hope you will not penalized us for what CBS is doing. Again, thank you for taking the time to contact us. Please make sure your thoughts are heard at CBS News. Respectfully, [name removed] Station Manager It’s great that the affiliates are feeling the heat, but I hope they don’t really push the line that they shouldn’t be held accountable for CBS’ actions. They signed up to be affiliates, after all.
