Rather had better re-think this. If he comes out trying to prove the documents are real it will be proven to be a cover-up and CBS will just dig a deeper hole. At some point you have to come clean and take your medicine. The medicine gets much worse with each flagrant defense of the indefensible.
They have already set the tone.
it will be a brief comment taking little time away from "important news".
1.The documents were not a major part the story and were unnecessary to prove the issues.
2.They have every reason to believe the documents are real anyway because someone told them so.
3. The superscript th could have been put in with some effort so the issues raised about the docuements is not one (they will ignoire the other 40 problems).
4. Questions about the document do nothing to negate the issues raised.
5. Bush must answer the questions raised or not be reelected.
The Dan will move on to some real Bush bashing.
Maybe CBS is letting Dan dig the hole for himself.
yesterday there was a story about paper size and 8/12x11 for commerical paper and 8/12x10.5 for the government. did this prove to be correct?
