Passions are running high inside CBS News as the network is facing yet another outpouring of public discontent, this time over 60 Minutes's boneheaded decision to publicize phony documents "proving" that George W. Bush was AWOL from the Texas Air National Guard during the Vietnam War.
Many staffers are placing the blame squarely on the shoulders of Dan Rather who they say was the driving force behind a shoddily researched story that ought never to have aired.
Meanwhile, CBS's News publicity flacks have abandoned answering their phones, overwhelmed with calls from angry viewers and inquisitive journalists.

I love reading good news, especially when it invovles exposing the liberal media.

Looks like someone left a flaming bag of dog crap on Dan’s porch, rang the doorbell and ran.

They could start by taking the phony story off their website. It was still there five minutes ago.

If these documents turn out to be false, we need to push hard for CBS to suspend Rather. At his age, it might just prompt him to retire.

If this is true, then we'll soon get the inside story of how Danny-Boy concocted this fakeroo.

Couldn't have happened to a more deserving group. I hope they keep right on stomping until the fire is out.

They need to put their document "expert" out there immediately to defend his findings. Right or wrong, that would at least give CBS some cover.
Unless, that is, they already know they're cooked.
