New cbs boss is bush supporter { October 27 2005 } Original Source Link: (May no longer be active)    http://www.editorandpublisher.com/eandp/news/article_display.jsp?vnu_content_id=1001390907 http://www.editorandpublisher.com/eandp/news/article_display.jsp?vnu_content_id=1001390907 Blogger's Scoop: New CBS News Boss Donated to Bush Re-Election Bid in 2004 By E&P Staff Published: October 27, 2005 11:05 AM ET NEW YORK Conservatives may take heart in a scoop by blogger Michael Petrelis that the new boss of CBS News, Sean McManus, donated $250 to the Bush-Cheney re-election bid in 2004, while shunning John Kerry. Petrelis, who specializes in digging out election contributions from media types, reported the donation on Wednesday by the New Canaan, Conn., resident, found in Federal Election Commission files. Contacted by The Associated Press, CBS had no comment. Former CBS anchor Dan Rather was not exactly a favorite of conservatives, even before the "60 Minutes" Bush/National Guard controversy last year. But one warning to the right: A year earlier, McManus, the former CBS Sports chief, gave to the re-election campaign for Sen. Patrick Leahy (D-Vt.).
