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. . . .

[COEXERJ145]

Something tells me since ABC knows the documents are faked, they feel as if they might as well try to salvage something out of it and try and damage their competition.

[eeriegeno]

Exactly. The rats at all of the alphabet stations would murder their own mothers if it meant better ratings!

I don't really think that's true. BUT, they would murder their mothers if the democratic party was in peril, IMHO.

[Shermy]

BTW, CBS was also the plant for that odd and still uncertain Pentagon spy story.

[ApesForEvolution]

ABC still claims that Kerry's Vietnam accounts are true...and that he was effectively smeared! They're all loons that are dangerous to America and revel in 1,000 more Americans dying thanks to nut job Muhammadans...after we lost 3,000 here, 100 there, a few over there, etc.

[oyez]

I think criminal and civil charges should be brought up against Dan Rather and CBS. A showcase trial should follow. Its time that someone be responsible for their own insane bias.

"The only people who do not believe CBS are idiots. Now, shove it!"

[snooker]

So, what are the Freepers going to do tomorrow??? Hehehehe

[Izzy Dunne]

Bush documents forged!

I hope they pick a different headline.

[Lockbar]

LOL, too funny and clever.

Is Nightline on in one hour from now
on the East Coast? I ask, because
there's no way tonight I will be able
to stay up to see it 4 hours from now.

[CurlyBill]

The timing is very suspicious. </sarcasm>

[section9]

Perfect. ABC going into full attack mode. They see a chance to pick up market share from CBS.

Free enterprise at work.

Be Seeing You,

Well, I won't believe it until I see it in a reliable source like the New York Times, or the Washington Post. Or, the Pimes/Tost as Allen Drury used to call them...

[Virginia]

Thank you, Howlin' and TankerKC, and all others involved. I watched this develop today and it was absolutely fascinating. I don't think it ever would have occurred to me that someone falsified these documents. Your healthy skepticism saved the day!

DON'T GO THERE!!!!

It is filled with crazy people and (I hope) not really Americans but Islamofascists that are pretending to be Americans! Even scarier than DU, and it's only a TV station web site! AAAAAAGGGGGGHHHHHHH!!!!!!!

[ApesForEvolution]

Have they let Evita out of her cage and fixed her chemical imbalances yet?

[secret garden]

Hmmm, rhymes with gerbils. Coincidence? I think not.

[jwalsh07]

I can't remember if I have EVER watched Nightline, but I'll make some popcorn for this!

I used to watch Nightline many moons ago. Got hooked during the Iranaian hostage situation.

One night after another show of lefty propaganda I actually spoke to one of the producers. After a heated discussion we decided it was bets for all concerned if I didn't watch Nightline any more. :-}

ABC is relishing this. The network newscasts are liberal to be sure, but they're still competitive with each other when it comes to ratings. Regardless of how you feel about him, it's sad to see Dan Rather's career end like this. Uh, on second thought, not really.
