They are threatening to take over CBS network via stock acquisition, much in the manner of Boone Pickens and the oil industry. The question of adequate finances as well as "popular" support arises. I really don't know anything about this scheme. I do know that I don't like the idea even more than I don't like CBS. Anyone know more facts?
