As if I needed another reason not to watch CBS!

What happened to responsible reporting?
Where are the facts to support their ridiculous premise? This piece is nothing but unfounded allegations and opinion.

Shame on you CBS!

You've GOT to be kidding me. Some guy says the fires now are worse than the one he remembers 10 years ago, and therefore these are the worst fires in human history? I don't know if CBS is a propaganda organization or simply incompetent, but whatever they are, it is pathetic. Anyone who studied the SCIENCE would know that IF global warming was taking place it would be making for more humid conditions and -- to the degree it had an influence on fires -- decreasing their frequency and severity. But there's obviously no place for science in television or politics.
