The guy is basically a moron. Every single one of his "refutations" is about 30° behind yesterday's power curve.
Reminder to all:

The Left is *really* PO'd that their stranglehold on the media is dead.
A few years ago and they would have gotten away with this kind of forgery and it wouldn't be until after the election, if ever, that anyone would have noticed.
I wonder how many other forgeries they have stored away that were to follow up these new "revelations" in the CBS documents.
He's got nothing right
but he's got obsessive hatred galore.
There's not a single assertion he makes that would stand up to expert examination and skillful cross.
Remember Salamis?
Nope.
But I remember the Alamo!
The whold 60 minute's piece was based on deception. Sorry, but the journalistic credibility of the original source is what is lacking.
Salamis was the first time liberty was saved from tyranny, all the way back in ancient Greece. I guess I'm old school.
Then the answer is simple. Recreate the documents on typewriters from that era.
Correction; A few years ago they DID get away with this kind of skullduggery.
Many times.
And the people of the US payed for it in blood, treasure,and loss of liberty.
Never again, they don't hold all the aces anymore.
Welll now, some of us are created MORE equal than others. Don't these PIGS know this? Good work Orwell!
Gee, this guy should take a few deep breaths, calm down, and read the 500 threads on FR on this subject, and follow the links from those to sites all over the web where great work has been done.
This guy builds a straw man, knocks it down, and hopes his readers feel as good as he does.
A lot more solid case for forgery has been made than he's letting on.
Look closely at the number of coincidences that would have had to have taken place in order to validate this report.
CBS had, obviously, not checked source data before airing their "rendition" of the facts and are now trying slither out of their responsibility to report authenticated news.
Thank God that we now have alternative news sources other than the alphabet networks. Come on, CBS, you really screwed up. Admit it!
Well, I won't argue with that. The Air Force could certainly produce documents. But we are talking about specific ones here ....
He is just a Leftist Robot reciting the Media Matters talking points ... those talking points are laughable. Realy typographers are making more solid and serious comments than merely "Times Roman" font ... they are saying the *Exact Font* is NewTimesRome 'truetype' that is in MS Word. It wasnt even invented until the 1980s. and you would need the exact font and kerning/'negative C' spacing to get the exact match
that little green footballs got when he did it (in 10 minutes no less!)
"The guy is basically a moron. Every single one of his "refutations" is about 30° behind yesterday's power curve."
Dittos.
Like CBS using the 'raised' th and not noticing how different the real typewriter th is from the fake memo 'th' superscript.
Logic tells me that if the documents are fake then the story in them is fake too. But logic is about as important to liberals as truth.
