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.

It all began right HERE

And if you're really SERIES about discovering more, you may want to check THIS

[ken5050]

and most everyone's forgotten about IVAN for a day...maybe CBS will sen Rather out in a small boat to find the "eye"

[Howlin]

There's a big, added bonus to this...it will make Kitty Kelley's anti Bush screed toxic..wanna bet NBC drops the three interviews they've scheduled..

OH, gosh....I hadn't thought of that......but you are right......this will DOOM her.......LOL.

That and the fact that Crazy Ivan ought to be hitting shore about the time Katie puts the mike on her.........LOL>

[rineaux]

thank you for the response. i caught the tail end of hannity in bones when the were speaking to dick army and thought i heard hannity say something to that effect.

[LowNslow]

Not first time Blather has used fraudulent data, ie incident reported by B.G. Burkett and Glenna Whitley in Stolen Valor.

[GiveEmDubya]

That makes sense. Sounds quite plausible to me.

SeeBS in meltdown...I never thought I'd see the day...

[speedy]

I have to get up early for work, but I can't leave this thread. The idea of Rather with his pants down around his ankles -- tomorrow I break my 20 year boycott of CBS Evening News -- it may be his highest ratings ever. He's becoming like Baghdad Bob.

[Centaur]

"Sprawl baby"

[Timeout]

IT'S 10:30 PM AND THE PAPER OF RECORD, THE GREY LADY, THE NEW YORK TIMES HAS NOT DISCOVERED THIS STORY YET!!!

LOL!

[Owl558]

Here's what I sent:

"You let your hate blind your reason and betrayed every principle of journalistic integrity. How dare you lie to the American people like that. Do you really think that you can play God and corrupt our political process like you have and get away with it? Who made you king?

Dan Rather must apologize to president Bush and resign."

Now is the time to hit CBS' sponsors with demands that Rather resign. Does anyone have contact info?

[RasterMaster]

Until Dan Rather is nothing more than a bum on the street begging for change, I am BLOCKING (Damn, dontcha' just LOVE technology!) CBS from viewing in my home.

[arasina]

But CBS said they vetted them..used experts

They backed off that already.

[okie01]

Edwards refused to comment further, referring back to her statement as the final word.

Later, however, she sent an e-mail to WND, adding, "CBS verified the authenticity of the documents by talking to individuals who had seen the documents at the time they were written. These individuals were close associates of [Bush commander] Colonel Jerry Killian and confirm that the documents reflect his opinions at the time the documents were written."

Edwards had to know her feet were firmly planted...in quicksand.

If she has any sense, she went home tonight and drank a pitcher of martinis. Straight from the pitcher...

[rineaux]

great, thank you.

[Brad’s Gramma]

"The reputation and integrity of the entire news division is at stake

Uhhhhhh.......it has been for a long time.

[section9]

Okay, please repeat that in English (LOL!!) Seriously, Barnes is the only fly in the ointment. Somehow this fits back into him, Texans for Truth, and their parent outfit: MoveOn.org.

I have been wondering something, however.

These documents were so transparently bogus that they had to be smuggled to CBS by someone who knew that they would be exposed as forgeries.

Someone like.....

Hillary?

Be Seeing You,

Chris
