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.

Thanks, Chris, but all I did was what I usually do, put up a live thread and let the rest of you all do the legwork!

I'm kind of stunned at how quick it came. We usually carp about this stuff for years and nothing EVER happens.

"Dan Rather: "Stop questioning my patriotism!"

Maybe we'll see Dan crying like he did on David Letterman after 9/11.

Dungheap Harkin (what a total slimeball) also goes into the crapper wherefrom he originated. Maybe this is the flush that will finally send him to the treatment plant.

Dan: Thanks for the interview. Uday has some documents for me?"

[DustyMoment]

Sounds to me as though the blatant agenda of Blather and See BS have been exposed for all to see.

It should be fun to see how Blather explains this.

[nopardons]

Not to mention SERIES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

So much for the so-called document expert ....

I think I heard the toilet flush

Again thanks for your hard work. Very interesting and informative.

Watreshed Day for the new media. On par with the blue dress.

Check this out.

The WAPO is running it big tomorrow, with an excellent article.

They have their own document people on the case.

I understand cbs, but what does the rest of that mean? Pawned?

[speedy]

As a certain CBS newsman might put it, Dan's sphincter is tighter than the lugnuts on a rusted 1977 Pinto. Sweet dreams tonight, Danno.

[AUsome Joy]

True to form they will investigate all day tomorrow and apologize on Saturday, be interviewed on Sunday Talk and say this is old news. I got so excited on this forum with Clinton. We would think so many times that they've got him now and he would squeak out of it. I hope things have changed. Surely the sheeple have heard enough about the mainstream media and this will ring true.

Like I said in another post, "www.retirerather.com" has a nice ring to it...
