First post! Basically trying to discredit right wing blogs in general as gossip-mongers. Not that anyone listens to NPR (I accidentally wandered into a coworker's office who had it on--shudder...).

Welcome to Free Republic.

Yah, I mistakenly left O'Reilly on Fox on while I got dinner. He can't fathom Dan doing something dishonest... mistaken maybe, but dishonest? fraudulent? no way.

go sell yer t-shirts bill.

despite its reputation as the place for speculation, gossip and out-right slander, the Web TV news has already managed to gain a symbiotic relationship with TV news the Web.

I don't think people want to access static media on their television. They get enough of that from the MSM.

I imagine that the convergence will be broadband digital custom content. I figure one day you'll be able to configure a news channel to play your favorite news shows, pull local news from any zip code, and stuff like that.

Sort of like video Free Republic... actually - that would be so cool. Free Republic digital cable channel. Oh, if only I had a few billion and access to a couple of cable companies.

My husband listens to NPR, but when confroted with the visuals that acompany this story he is not buying CBS's stance. He sat in amazement with me tonight, pondering aloud, "Why would Dan Rather do that?"

Welcome to FR. I'm one of those freepers who doesn't mind saying I listen to NPR in my car. Some of the news stories are okay, but the liberal slant in other stories is enough to choke on -- if I wasn't such a news junkie, and if I didn't live somewhere with no alternative.

As I read the entire piece I thought it was going somewhere, but then it suddenly just dropped away into some irrelevant anecdote about Drudge. The author inexplicably failed to note that the CBS documents have been proved to be forgeries a hundred ways. and thoroughly discredited by everybody closely associated with the alleged author.

Strange column. I never heard of Joe Hagan before. Is he somebody?

"Basically trying to discredit " Yeah, but I think his jealousy gets in his way.

"...The next day, the major newspapers reported on the controversy and last Friday evening, Dan Rather felt compelled to go on-air again to defend the validity of the documents. Not too shabby for an anonymous Web guy named Buckhead.
[LOL! Something Joe has never accomplished despite his lifetime of trying!]
...But before we start handing our journalism awards to Buckhead, it's good to recall last February, when the Drudge Report unleashed a gravity-defying headline declaring that John Kerry had had an affair ..."

What a pathetic commentary. Snide, and almost totally without content. It truly illustrates the intellectual bankruptcy of the left.
