CBS deserves all the criticism it is getting.
Why should they expect the White House to bail them out from their shoddy journalism?
The White House saw this FORGED BS and said, "OK, CBS morons, go ahead with your 'blockbuster' revelation."
Rather and CBS have been hoisted on their own petard.
And they deserve it.
I predict Rather will be forced to resign in disgrace; or else he will issue an abject and humiliating apology...
I'm confused by CBS's assertion that the White House saw the documents and gave them the okay. Doesn't make any sense. Why would CBS expect the White House to say, Cute, you're smearing me, we have no objections. It's like CBS has cinders for brains.
