Trouble is, George W. Bush began the first of six years’ service in the National Guard in 1968, but Barnes did not become Lt. Governor of Texas until 1969. Barnes has acknowledged that no member of the Bush family sought his help, but claims he was approached by a Bush family friend (who died three years before Barnes began telling his self-serving story).

If this aspect of Barnes' story is not addressed by Dan Rather then what we have is the Tass New Agency posing as an American media outlet.

With the recurring onslaught of media liberal bias, the onus is really on the average American to be able to sort out their bias-laced reporting and come to their own conclusions. This is only possible today with the advent of alternative internet news sources, a scary thought when you consider the average American doesn't follow the news that closely.

The loss of an even-handed press is a tremendous loss for American freedom.

God help us recover the reporter with integrity.
