I totally disagree. You are usually not proving a negative when proving a forgery. You are proving a positive--that the document was forged. Here, they want us to have to prove it was impossible to make that document in 1972. That means the burden of proof is not only on us, but that they can defeat assertions of forgery by merely producing a typewriter that can do the various things that appear in the document. That proves nothing, but they get the benefit of not having to admit they are forgeries if that is the way it is played. That is intolerable, in my book.

Agree. C"BS" called the documents as "authentic". The documents were questioned with many serious discrepancies; therefor the burden of proof of authenticity is now in their ball park. But they keep dropping the ball and yelling "home run". Ain't going to fly.

I PREDICT:
Yes, had to be the DNC. CBS is afraid of the DNC so it won't attack the habd that fed them. THEY WILL ATTACK the person who gave them or is responsible for the documents. The attack will not be directly for the paper forgery as that would shoot them in the other foot. But they will attack "the" person relentlessly to destroy that person. Just wait. If CBS doesn't attack, then it will be RATher or one of his minions. BUT you will probably be able to read between the lines in order to send a message. None of the TV media want to be victimized like this.

Professional courtesy by the TV News Media gives CBS a pass. Courtesy will cause them to pull their punches, but they will, or the allies of CBS will, join the attack. Nothing personal, just business.
