Whatever happened to CBS's Internal Investigation of Rather/60 Minutes Document Fraud?

Has anyone heard a peep out of the much-ballyhoo'd investigation into the 60 minutes fraud perpetrated by Dan Rather and Mary Mapes? Please, folks, let's not let this one die without a fight. There are limits even in the rough and tumble of election time, and they crossed the line. Can we put pressure on the network to follow through?

Thanks for the reminder, we need to keep the pressure on these clowns.

I was just about to post a thread asking the same question. Election is over; time for CBS to face the music. Those forgers and liars need to be held accountable, or they will do it again.

You can ask the same of blowhard Bill O'Rielly. When Laura Ingram asked him what he thought, he said he was doing his own investigation into it. So all media heads apparently are the same!

Wom, if you or any other clever Freeper out there knows how to post those listed email links that were put to such good use before in contacting affiliates and the network, this might be a place and time to do it. Nothing like some good hard pressure.

Of course not. You didn't think they were serious, did you? Don't be so naive! They have no intention of ever revealing the truth about Rather's crimes.

Bush supporter (not!) Sumner Redstone must be all over this investigation like a tick on Blather's Kerry-Kissing Rear-End.

Accountable or not, whether they admit they ran the story in a deliberately biased way or not, they WILL do it again. Count on it.

Perhaps we need an internal investigation of the internal investigation! LOL

No, we can't let this one die. I can't belive Dick Thornburg, former Bush 1 AG, would be part of a coverup for CBS, so I'm hopeful we will hear something.

Ingraham mopped O'Reilly all over the floor last night.

BORe was trying trivialize Bush's substance and Kerry's vacuousness.

BORe kept saying that b/c Kerry didn't come on BORe's show to be interviewed like President Bush, the "folks" didn't know the Senator, ergo the "folks" didn't like the Senator, ergo the "folks" didn't vote for the Senator.

Ingraham quickly ripped this Oprah factor narcissism by saying Kerry had five different positions on everything.

Man, she and Coulter rock!

Something terrible has happened! The red buld nose of one of the prime investigators fell off and was smashed by the 18 inch shoes of the other investigators as they rushed around the room trying to find the nose. Oh, the humanity!!

But, clearly, we HAVE to do something about the bias of ehat's left of the old-timey media. They have simply tried too hard for too long to subvert the American political system. It was just wonderful this time to see them get snookered by false exit poll data that caused millions of voting children west of Pennsylvanuia to just stay home and watch cartoons instead of voting!

No, but you should have seen the look of *fear* in BORe's eyes (pricelss!) when he realized what an pompous fool he had made of himself and Ingraham had EXPOSED his intellectually flimsy reasoning.
