What is the CBS agenda?

Reuters, which is normally rather biased in its coverage, has the following headline regarding Lowe's earnings: "Lowe's posts higher-than-expected profit". For the same earnings report, Marketwatch (owned by CBS) has the following headline: "Housing malaise eats into Lowe's net". It's almost like they want to take every single opportunity to make it look like the country is going down the tubes, as that would be consistent with their pre-election, pro-Democrat agenda.
