The CBS Evening News with Katie Couric aired a puff piece on the Roy Blunt-Robin Carnahan U. S. Senate race emphasizing how well Blunt was doing October 20, just five days before the company's president and CEO Les Moonves (shown with Ms. Couric)
contributed the maximum $5,000 to Blunt's Rely on Your Beliefs PAC, according to documents filed this week with the Federal Election Commission.
And while Moonves is not in the CBS News Department he is the one who signs the checks.
The FEC filing shows Rely on Your Beliefs contributed $5,000 to Republican U. S. Senate Carly Fiorina of California two days later. The maximum an individual can contribute to a candidate for one election is $2,400, but political action committees are allowed to give up to $5,000. Moonves is a California resident.
Ms. Fiorina is not the only candidate to receive a $5,000 boost from Blunt's leadership PAC. The filing shows he also gave the maximum amount to two Missouri Congressional candidates, Vicky Hartzler, who unseated 17-term incumbent Ike Skelton in the Fourth District, and Ed Martin, the former chief of staff for Blunt's son, Matt. Martin lost to Democrat Russ Carnahan.
Others receiving $5,000 contributions from the Rely on Your Beliefs PAC were successful Senatorial candidates Rand Paul of Kentucky and Pat Toomey of Pennsylvania, and losing candidates Dino Rossi of Washington and Ken Buck of Colorado.

Did he give any money to Billy?
So?
So?
Roy 'Whirlpool' Blunt has laundered more money than a Columbian cartel.
He has brought in dollars from every imaginable source to the 7th District Congressional Committee to hand out to candidates and counties to buy favor.
When will this madness stop........Billy?
