What's up with CBS? In this piece, CBS reporter Mareya Villarreal painted a rather rosy picture of what would come if pot were legalized in the state of California, and it's possible benefits to the state and country as a whole. Opinions of legalized pot aside, shouldn't the report have mentioned the negatives as well in order to balance out the story? Nope! The three minute long piece only mentioned one criticism of the legalization initiative. CBS has a history of swinging both ways on pot, giving either strong pro or strong anti pot positions, and this is another example of a huge swing in a pro-pot direction without any significant negative criticism.
