We all know what happened in Rather Gate. Dan Rather went on 60 minutes with documents that were fake. These documents were obviously not properly vetted prior to them being aired because they were fake and they wound up on the air. These documents purported to show that Bush used political influence to get into the guard to avoid serving in the Vietnam War. They also showed him to be lazy. Of course, none of it was true. Dan Rather wound up losing his job and so did Mary Mapes.

“It’s important to note that it is not at all clear if Bush really was gung ho about serving in Vietnam.”
Unbelievable. Why do we know this shit and no one can tell me what courses Zero took, what his GPA was or what his records are from his time in the IL legisalture, his appointments, accomplishments, BIRTHPLACE, etc? We’re down a rabbit hole for sure...
Everyone be patient. It takes time to get this kind of info before most Americans - like a cofee pot brweing, it takes a while for the coffee to seep through. It will get out - and further demise the MSM.
Mapes is still around when she should have gone to jail. She did her best to throw the election to Kerry.
Here is a recent screed on Tiller’s murder.

“that’s fine though not sure how it’s relevant.”
What who might or might not have said something to someone once or overheard Mary Mapes thinking about saying about something that no longer matters is still in the news and has more relevance than the deceit of the MSM in not vetting the leader of the free world, our new POtuS...I guess...I dunno, maybe you’re right...I thought it was relevant...sorry...
bump to that
Thanks again you guys.
It is relevant to the credibility of the SRM and the left in general.
There is a special place in Hell reserved for the Bush haters Rather and Mapes. They will get to see it in due time.
Why are you excerpting? It’s a blog!
If you think it’s a new revelation about an old story that isn’t relevant that’s fine but you inserted Obama in a story that had nothing to do with him. It’s really annoying to me when people spin any subject to whatever they want to talk about.
what who cares?
If we want to read it we have to go to the blog. Otherwise called “Blog Pimping”.
You could have warned us with a barf alert on that article.
Nice list.
I’d also like to know which communist / muslim organizations funded his education.
Did he apply for or get a foreign student scholarship?
the list goes on...
So. What? Who cares? That’s how I post all my articles. The authors deserve to be read on their own site. Furthermore, if I post the whole article then that’s a lot to post on the front page.
Blog Pimping. There is absolutely no reason you cannot post the whole article. You want the hits.
“I guess...I dunno, maybe you’re right...I thought it was relevant...sorry...”
Where I come from, a guy apologizes like that, we usually STFU and move on.
