CBS.
Gen. Batiste delivers the most straightforward possible message. The spot starts with a clip of Bush, mouthing his usual line about listening to the commanders on the ground. Batiste, of course, was a commander on the ground. And he, like Maj. Gen. Paul Easton, says it just ain't so, which we all know is true. And which, by the way, makes it both solid news and solid military analysis.
Result? Fire the analyst.
The Think Progress and TPM stories have all the goodies you could want on the hypocrisy -- the pro-"administration" shilling of other military analysts, the ridiculousness of CBS taking two weeks to ponder firing Imus but firing Batiste virtually overnight, etc.
C'mon, tell me the media does not have an institutional conservative bias. Just you try.
