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.

Kudos to Powerline, LGF, and the early morning Freepers who did the real spadework on this scam.
Well done to one and all!
As to the Trolls from DU? Too bad, so sad!
Be Seeing You,

I am enjoying the Hell out of this, and I hope the bread crumbs lead right to Lurch in Nantuckett.

At the very least, I think CBS will out the source for the memos in a feeble attempt to regain credibility. Which we all know they've been squandering for years, and have little chance of getting much back...

Caarville: "This is all Bush's fault. If he had just given up after the DNC convention, there would be no need to fake these documents."
