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.

I wonder if Rather will fall on his sword....Or squeal like the 'Rat he is.

You know, when the first news of these Bush docs hit FR, I made an offhand comment that turned out to be incredibly close to the mark. (Though, truth be told, the Left is entirely too predictable.)

Thank you Drudge. Has anyone heard if the daughter of Ben Barnes denies the accusations her daddy has lobbed against our W?
