CBS News affiliate calls 2012 presidential race for Barack Obama weeks ahead of electionhttp://dailycaller.com/2012/10/21/cbs-ne…

I have an indoor antenna that sits on top of our television. The other day, I had it scan for channels (because I heard about a newer channel in our area, so I wanted to make sure the antenna / guide were up-to-date).
When it was done searching, one of the channels it found was 6-1 KOIN HD, which is the CBS affiliate for Portland, Oregon, but I live over 215 miles away in southeastern Washington state! How is it getting the signal? There are no translators for that station anywhere around, and there isn’t a need for one, because my area has its own CBS, NBC, etc. affiliates.

During an interview with CBS Minnesota affiliate WCCO on Tuesday, Obama was asked if Americans were better off than they were four years ago.
“Well, you know, I think we are better off now than we would have been if I hadn’t taken all the steps that we took,” the president replied.

on cbs affiliate Sports Radion 610 am in Houston TX, employee Josh Ennis of the J & R has made offensive comments that need to be addressed.

I am writing a letter (knowing this is a HUGE stretch) to the Ellen show asking to be on the 12-day giveaway show.
Here’s the deal. She is a syndicated program. I work for a CBS affiliate station (a news station that is a CBS affiliate), and we happen to carry the Ellen show in the afternoon.
Because I don’t work for her show, or any of the companies that gift to her show, etc. Do you think I would still be okay?
This is of course if hell freezes over, and I actually was granted a shot at being on. I just want to know that I’m not asking for something that is basically against the rules to begin with.
I checked the rules for 12-Days, and can’t find anything that stands out, but before I send my letter, I just thought I’d see what others think. Again, I know my chances are slim to none. But, there’s no point in sending the letter if I wouldn’t be able to attend at all b/c of qualifications.
Thanks!
