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.

Jim, I'm getting scared now......after all this time, how could we finally be right about something.......LOL.

"CBS knows exactly what they did. Their "investigation" is purely deciding on a damage control and spin strategery."

Yes, but this humiliates them in the eyes of the other news organizations, who will be taking great pleasure in watching this unfold. As well, if they can't be believed as a news organization, then they might as well close up shop and go home.

Now is the time to hit CBS' sponsors with demands that Rather resign

Don't forget the Boston Globe! They've run with every anti-Bush story they could get their grimy hands on. And they've prostituted themselves puffing up Kerry's bio.

Let's don't let them off the hook on this!

[faithincowboys]

I'll take that, smiling.

But it would be an added treat to see Castro Dan take himself out in the process of trying to destroy another Bush.

[HawkeyeLonewolf]

We'll see him on KORN...

[section9]

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

Okay, people, remember that this is a good news day for us. However,

We have to work like we're ten points behind!

Couldn't resist the desires of my evil twin. Sorry.

Be Seeing You,

Chris

24 hours to debunk a MAJOR news agency, a PRIME-TIME hit pice by the network's TOP Anchor?

Nope.

Dan Rather "broke" the story last night at 9:00-10:00.

Free Republic had specific and credible evidence showing they were forged by this morning at 7:00 AM EST, and Fox and Hannity (and others in the new media) were broadcasting it by 3:00 PM.

This was to be Rather's crowning Pulitzer Prize, and the story that was to wipe the Swifties off the face of the news completely by PROVING Bush broke direct orders and violated reg's deliberately!

It was the story that was to spring Kerry to the front for good!

And FR broke him!

Now, lettuce see whether the rest of the naitonalpress corpse will learn to dot their "(perfectfectly proportionally-spaced) "eye's" and cross their dashed "Tees" ...
