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?!!!
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.
Man. Talk about your worthless real estate.
Debunked. A couple of threads already going about that doc.
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.

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...
OMG if FR helps bring down Dan Rather..... I can hardly dare to hope!
LOL..That is good
OMGGG Drudge is rocking with this story no headline YET this going get goodddd
Hope CBS eats it. Even if it is unresolved, this should kill the liberals like NYT, CBS, CNN, Globe, and Post from the ANG story..Thank goodness to,cause it is old
HUGE
Don't worry about it. It's nothing series.
I never saw this photo before. If I ever see this Bastard on the street, his buffalo could not stand in the way....
Definitely did not get profitable work done.
Where is the Freeper with the "Oh, not this s--t again" post when we need him.
He's just SHOCKED, SHOCKED I say.
Someone ought to do a Michael Moore style documentary entitled "Danny and Me," or "Farenheight CBS," or "Bowling for Documents."
Look for Rather to appear at 3:00am to make this correction.
