The story is about the memos now.

Yes. CBS News broke a cardinal rule of journalism: Instead of reporting the story, they became the story.

Rather announces questions to Bush still unanswered; women, children & minorities hit hardest.

I'd suspect that the lawyers have killed the original statement.. CBS could maintain the "fiction" that originally, they were a victim of fraud, but now, after all the public statements that the documents are fake, even if CBS is collectively suicidal...you can't go out publicly and say they're tre, when experts you hired have said on other news outlet that they told CBS they were fake..The estate of LTC Killian, and Sharon Bush..just got winning lottery tickets...

"Instead of reporting the story,"

they manufactured it

that is not News, no

BUT it is what 60 Minutes has always been doing

they call it "investigative reporting"

it is really: concept about bad capitalists or bad Republicans --> find some dirt --> if no dirt found, make up the dirt --> broadcast it breathlessly as an important, exclusive STORY

of course it is exclusive, since you invented it - HA
