Broadcasting & Cable reports that two executives from CBS News recently met with White House Communications Director Dan Bartlett. According to the report, the meeting was a fence-mending session meant to convince the White House that, despite last fall’s bogus memo scandal, CBS News would “from here on out would do everything it could to be fair and balanced.”

Doesn’t that sound like an admission that they weren’t fair or balanced before? After all, if they’ve been fair and balanced the whole time, why say “from here on out”?

Meanwhile, what ever happened to that investigation on the discredited CBS News report? Shortly after admitting that there were problems with the original 60 Minutes segment, CBS News President Andrew Heyward promised that the investigation would be completed in “weeks, not months”. Next Sunday will be the four-month mark from when the dubious story aired. So where are the results of the investigation?
