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.

Here we are with this huge story breaking and all the supposed "24/7" cable news channel are doing reruns of 2-hour "old news"...actually repeating the Air Guard stories!

Don't ya hate it when that happens?!!!

Now, the big question is,

Where did CBS get the documents?

I'm hoping it's the DNC. I want to see Terry McAuliffe frog-marched out of the DNC offices, in handcuffs, by the FBI.

What are the odds that nobody at CBS knew these were forgeries?

I think they were so gleeful that they thought that they had the goods on Bush that they didn't even consider that they could be fakes. It is typical. If something comes out against Kerry they look under every crevice to see if they can plausibly deny it. If anything bad comes out against Bush they run with it.

If these documents are fakes, and it appears almost certain that they are, then CBS will no longer have any legitimate claim to being a news source. The veneer is off.

If the RNC was our Normandy Landing, this latest attempt was our Battle of the Bulge.

Good analogy. But remember: the V-2's have yet to be launched, and we still have to cross the Rhine.

It's not over yet...

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.

Someone ought to do a Michael Moore style documentary entitled "Danny and Me," or "Farenheight CBS," or "Bowling for Documents."

will personally correct the record on-air

Look for Rather to appear at 3:00am to make this correction.
