NIGHTLINE to do show on forgeries.

ANOTHER UPDATE: A media contact emails: "ABC'S NIGHTLINE DOING THE forgeries tonight, and their experts say most likely forgeries. CBS had serious meetings this evening over this."

I'll bet they did. . . .

[Kozak]

All joking aside, you can bet there is a huge pucker factor at CBS right now and Dan Rather is sweating bullets. And, in the John Kerry camp? This will be devastating. They were hoping it would give them a boost, now it may snowball and give them disaster.

Speaking of documents WHEN IS THE MSM GOING TO START GRILLING KERRY ON WHY HE WON'T SIGN THE DD180 TO CLEAR UP ALL THE QUESTIONS???????????????????????????

Why, oh why, do I smell a setup here?

[secret garden]

But the $64,000 question is this: who gave the docs to CBS?

[Republican Wildcat]

I can't believe they'd let Harkin do that, who himself lied about being a Vietnam vet.

"I haven't watched Nightline in years. I might have to make an exception tonite. It would be good."

Nightline: Approach with caution and very, very low expectations.

In a much hyped story, CBS features a partisan hack with a long and shady record and produces forged documents. Is their partisanship this naked? Of course my left leaning sister just told me that Rove probably set this up, personally I think Rove would have put together something that took more than 12 hours to figure out:)

Funny, that all of this happens just when Carvile and BugAllah join the F'n team, and, when Boozin' Ostrich writes a column, calling for Dims to get even sleazier.

If Bush had truly disobeyed a direct order, he would have been court-martialled or experienced judicial punishment.

[expatpat]

I don't believe that. They could get better ratings easily, by dropping their liberal bias and giving objective reporting, but they won't.

**It is entertaining when libMedia turn on their own and start eating each other. **

Yea buddy... its a fine, fine day

[gilliam]

I agree, DON'T trust Nightline

[Timeout]

CBS: First, the have to pull The Reagans. Now, this little nugget.

And the Boston Globe gleefully picked up the story--with forgeries-- right away.

Don't I recall their having some egg on their faces another time in recent months? Something about FAKE PHOTOS of Abu Graib abuses?! Bwahahahahahaha!

"Hmmmnnnn....forged documents. Man, I wish I would've thought of that!!"

At a hastily arranged news conference,
Dan Rather claims 'no bias' at CBS News.

[steveegg]

But the $64,000 question is this: who gave the docs to CBS?

Two possible answers; Terry McAuliffe, and they did the forgeries on their own.

[white_wolf]

There is no way, repeat NO WAY, that "Nightline" and Ted Koppel are going to come out strong on this. NO WAY. The liberal media establishment are all in this together.

If somehow they did suggest these documents were forgeries, they would somehow spin it that it was a Bush dirty trick.

MARK MY WORDS.

[stboz]

Will Ted Koppel have Dan Blather on the show so Dan can play the victim of a Hoax :-)

Bend over an' grab yer ankles, Danny Boy. Hillary wants YOU!

Remember, Rick Kaplan (Clinton's best buddy) is back at ABC.
