EmailGate, Updated: CBS News Fails to Note Its "Worried Apolitical Republican Mom" Is a Committed Political ActivistIt wasn't just the emails that were phony; it was the main subject of the piece as well. Although CBS News presented its subject as a "Republican" who didn't seem to care much for politics, it turns out that, of course, she's a rabid political activist: The person at the center of Schlesinger's piece is a woman named Beverly Cocco, a Philadelphia crossing guard who is "sick to my stomach" that her two sons might be drafted. In his report, Schlesinger portrayed her as an apolitical (and even Republican) mom worried about the safety of her children. And of course that's not the first time CBS News has used stealth liberal activists posing as "just normal nonpartisan concerned mommies," as RatherBiased.com reports. posted by Ace at 12:24 PM

Yes, there seems to be a problem accessing the site. I posted the quotes out of an email they sent me. Posted by: ace on September 29, 2004 01:13 PM

I'm not sure what Ratherbiased has posted on this, but one such scam was the "Million Mom March." March organizer Donna Dees-Thomases was presented as a concerned mom who thought up the march "as she watched footage of a shooting at an area day camp." However, "Ms. Dees-Thomases has served as the publicist for the CBS News anchor Dan Rather, and is also sister-in-law of Susan Thomases who is a close friend and the chief political adviser to Hillary Clinton." She organized the march while on leave from her part-time job. Which Job? Free Republic tells us: "But, speaking of Casts of Idiots, what about CBS? By now, you may be curious about that "part-time job," as NBC coyly referred to it. A couple of waitressing shifts? A little secretarial work for the school district? No, Donna is a part-time publicist for David Letterman's Late Show. Before that, she was a full-time publicist for CBS news anchor Dan Rather. CBS This Morning was one of the first news shows to report the Million Mom March movement last September, when Hattie Kauffman interviewed Donna. "What," asked Hattie, "turns a mild-mannered suburban mom into an anti-gun activist?" But that's not what Donna said. Only in the last week has CBS News begun disclosing that she's one of theirs. As to Ms. Dees-Thomases' work for those two Dem senators, not one U.S. newspaper or TV network has mentioned them, with the exception of Rupert Murdoch's Fox News Channel. http://www.freerepublic.com/forum/a392003c71592.htm Posted by: Lastango on September 29, 2004 01:24 PM
RatherBiased.com did cover that. That's the incident I was alluding to. Posted by: ace on September 29, 2004 01:27 PM

FDA is providing an update regarding the sample of lettuce supplied by Taylor Farms de Mexico which was reported positive on July 18, 2026. Due to the complexity in detection of Cyclospora, FDA laboratory experts re-reviewed the sample results and have concluded that the finding does not represent true amplification and should be considered a false positive. Information about the sample has been removed from the July 18, 2026, update below. FDA has notified Taylor Farms and continues working with the firm to ensure product implicated in this outbreak has been removed from the market. FDA and state partners continue to collect and analyze product samples. As of July 19, 2026, there are no confirmed positive sample results for product testing for Cyclospora.[CBD]
