CBSNEWS LAUNCHES INTERNAL INVESTIGATION AFTER SUSPICIOUS BUSH DOCS AIRED

**Exclusive**

CBS NEWS executives have launched an internal investigation into whether its premiere news program 60 MINUTES aired fabricated documents relating to Bush's National Guard service, the DRUDGE REPORT has learned.

"The reputation and integrity of the entire news division is at stake, if we are in error, it will be corrected," a top CBS source explained late Thursday.

The source, who asked not to be named, described CBSNEWS anchor and 60 MINUTES correspondent Dan Rather as being privately "shell-shocked" by the increasingly likelihood that the documents in question were fraudulent.

Rather, who anchored the segment presenting new information on the president's military service, will personally correct the record on-air, if need be, the source explained from New York.

Soon to be cancelled 60 Minutes

Last night were calling it "60 seconds, 59 minutes short of the truth. Now I think I have a new slogan:

"60 Minutes, At least you can believe the commercials we air in the program."

Har!! The liberal mice in the CBS newsroom are reeling, big time.

It has been said that grifters depend on a victim's greed in order for their confidence scheme to work. In this case, a liberal newsroom's "greed" for something, anything, that they could use to smear Bush with has apparently gotten the CBS mice into deep, deep trouble.

Is it any surprise that of all the liberal newsrooms across the country it was CBS who got conned?

Today is a Historic Day. It is the day that the "NEW" Media overtook the "Old" Media.

I got chills from this sentence.

So true! We aren't the weird ones anymore.

Al Rantel now says CBS internal investigation is stated: because they "Might have aired bogus documents".

Fox should send Brit with a hand held camera over to CBS banging on the door, Mike Wallace(or fatso Moore) style, asking questions about the forgeries. That'd be a hoot.

As the late great Chick Hern would say:

Most assuredly; there are plenty of lamp posts to go around for Rather and his Rat friends.
