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.

Look for Rather to appear at 3:00am to make this correction. . .or in the middle of Hurrican Ivan.

Looks like Hurricane Forgery hit New York last night.

You know darn well that Rather and the goons at CBS will say...."After investigations, we find the documents to be real".

But there are enough people at other news groups bringing this up....so hopefully that crap won't work.

CBSNEWS LAUNCHES INTERNAL INVESTIGATION

Sure they are......like they don't know what happened. Their findings will be about as valid as Al Jazera investigating a whore house.

What's with "hugh"?
HUGE
LOL newbie alert! (Sorry but it's an inside FR joke, and you stepped in it)




Coming here since 2001 makes me a newbie?

Come on, I'm enjoying the first thread in ages that's free of "Work like we're ten points behind!" posts.

[gramho12]

My husband and I were just talking this evening about Bergie. What's happened with that?

Bad news about the Subscripted TH theory

That example does not help rehabilitate these "forgeries" at all. The superscripted characters are completely different.

[MagnumRancid]

This Sunday 60 Minutes will air part 2 of the Bush Guard Record Candle. This segment will show how this weeks segment was all part of their continuing investigation into the forged documents in an attempt to locate the forger and their sponsors. Dan Rather risked his reputation to bring you the truth.

Maybe one day Geraldo can open the Rather vault..

[kimchi lover]

Dang! That pic of Bush in his uniform makes me swoon a little. Anybody have a spare fan?

[dawn53]

He's just SHOCKED, SHOCKED I say.

[Sir Gawain]

[nopardons]

Yes,she did earlier today,on the radio, and Hannity played it on T.V.!

Dan Rather as being "shell-shocked"

More like Damn! I didn't fool the peasants.

[spyone]

You're right...this is a blue dress day!

[randog]

It is the day that the "NEW" Media overtook the "Old" Media.

That might be a bit over the top, but it does bring to the forefront some salient points:

1) Less than 24 hours for a major news story to get from the web to the TV. That includes the research. I find that simply incredible. If this doesn't wake the MSM up then they're truly doomed;
2) The MSM is now on notice: they can't foist outright lies and fabricated news on the public without thousands of independent researchers with thousands of specialties fact-checking every syllable.

I expect shock waves to reverberate through the entirety of the MSM. They took a serious wound today.

Dan Rather as being "shell-shocked"

If Dan doesn't regain his composure soon, he may end up sharing a room with his buddy Clinton in the hospital.

[Steve_Stifler]

Ethically speaking, is a news organization required to respect the confidentiality of a source who provides it with bogus evidence?

[Lurking2Long]

Kenneth, what is the frequency!?

With Dan Rather, the frequency of lies out of his mouth is about 10 per second!
