No bias here, just a naked attempt at boosting readership (On CBS's part, that is. I'd never do that. Never!).
Among the top stories (screencap at right) on CBSNews.com at 2:35 p.m. EDT today:
"Nudists Seek Younger Following"
Now, substitute "CBS Evening News" in for "Nudists" and the story becomes a little more serious for the Tiffany Network.

May 14, 2007 - 14:20 ET by Ten7sI guess everyone heard about the "Nude-In"? in Mexico with that weirdo photographer who stages these things. Well, somewhere deep in the story its said something like "the majority of the people who showed up to participate were young men". Well, DUH! how stupid can you be, not to know that would happen. And of course they were probably mostly disappointed, except I guess the so called "gays".

May 14, 2007 - 14:31 ET by Tom1969caI recall in the mid-1990s, when the powers-that-be in my home province of Ontario, Canada (that large landmass north of Minnesota, for those of you in Rio Linda) deemed that if men had the right to remove their shirts in warm weather then so did women.
A couple weeks later a lady friend and I were at the beach when about a half-dozen teenaged boys showed up. They parked themselves in the middle of the beach not far from us and started looking every-which-way like they were a Secret Service detail. While I'm sure they were hoping to see some of their fairer classmates availing themselves of their newly-granted freedoms, instead there were only four women doing so - all middle-aged and mostly (from the snippets of conversation I could hear) of European origin (where there would be no such fuss.)
After about 20 minutes or so one of the young lads stood up, turned to his friends and said, "C'mon guys, let's go. All the wrong people are taking advantage of this thing!" It was all my freind and I could do to keep from laughing out loud at them...

May 14, 2007 - 18:00 ET by dabalSo this is what passes as a "top story" at CBS?
Um, somebody better start firing their hippy buddies at CBS before they're ALL out of work.
In fairness it wasn't up in
May 14, 2007 - 23:01 ET by Ken ShepherdIn fairness it wasn't up in the "top stories" column long after I posted my item. I suspected as much might be the case, hence the screen capture and the quick blog entry about it.
I don't mind occasional fluff in "top stories," per se, and you'll notice I take room here to crack a joke about CBS's abysmal "Evening News" ratings.
All the same, it is amusing that it was a "top story," all the more so because the same item was news on Fox News Channel's "Red Eye" program sometime last week.
