What’s the Vegas line on whether or not it gets some hoity-toity prize in the documentary class?

The New York Times peddled it in the story “Memos on Bush are fake but accurate, typist says.” Let it be noted that the Times threw two reporters at the story, published on September 15, 2004.

Having broadcast the story on September 8, 2004, CBS did not get around to retracting it until September 20, twelve days later. The “fake but accurate” line proved to be a temporary fallback. It was laughable even at the time, but when CBS retracted the story it cut the limb out from under its friends and fellow Bush haters at the Times.

Perfect reply, my FRiend.

(I was going to write... "Fake, fake, fake, fake, fake...", a line from a Seinfeld episode. Yours is better.)
