Back in the '80s I read an article in Field & Stream about cBS's then-new hit piece, err, "journalism" show, West 57th, which, IIRC, was a reference to the address of cBS's HQ in NYC. The author of the article said "West 57th is the place that put the BS in CBS."

I haven't seen anything out of cBS News in the last 40 years to convince me that he was wrong.

Disclaimer: I don't know about the politics in McCurtain County.
But CBS is the same network where Dan Rather did the so-called 'documentary' about hunting "The Guns of Autumn."
Pepperidge Farm remembers.

Stipe country...yup

Way back in mid 60’s, I was in college in Tahlequah, and working for Holiday Inn in Muskogee. Gene Stipe and a couple of other “gentlemen” had some sort of meeting by the pool. It must have been interesting because I had a nice conversation with a couple of FBI agents the next day. I had taken some beers to Stipe and friends and the feds had a lot of questions. The fellow had quite a history.

I tell people all the time there are worse things in this world than being poor and unknown.
