it was weird..i was just flipping channels...went to SHOWTIME, and thats the movie thats on...and it was right when they read Bucks Post. I just had to post...
that was him!!
truly was..
all i remember from then was waiting an hour and half to down load a song from “LIME WIRE”...good times ,yeesh.
Is there a movie clip online that shows that part?
not sure..its about 35 minutes in...
Fox Nation also did a special on it called “Black Eye”.
WE need seemimgly abstracts facts like these
I think Buckhead’s post showing that the letter was a fake was within 45 minutes of when Dan Rather presented the letter on “Sixty Minutes.” It may be been even quicker than that.
So do I. Witness history as it happened. Awesome.
Movie was made as a puff piece from what I remember to paint what Rather and Mapes did in a positive light and that their story was attacked by the GOP for “just asking questions.”
i never watched the whole movie..im sure they smoothed it over. Doesn’t matter...Rather got canned...
He noted proportional fonts were not available at the time.
The memos were therefore fake and the matter should be investigated immediately.
This lead to the firing of Dan Rather and Mary Mapes of CBS.
There was a A B compare .gif showing the “memos” were done in MS word and run through a copier multiple times.
It was glorious.
Oh, my.
I remember that incident.
Yes, Freepers are awesome.
Buckhead’s post that changed everything:

I think the guy on Little Green Footballs made that GIF. That was before he went full-tilt communist during Obama.
thx...ill be book marking that!
Watching the Bourne Identity tonight. It always helps me to remember to keep my situational awareness going. When I feel safe, I tend to let my guard down. This movie reminds me to keep my antennae up. Very important to keep my SA up these days.
Thanks. I searched, but I couldn’t find that movie scene free online.
All I could find was this FoxNews segment about the movie, and the blogger being interviewed mentions FR and Buckhead here:

Pretty cool that you happened to catch that scene on TV at the right moment.
