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.

NOT SO FAST CBS...
They need to explain why a 1973 document
the 18 August 1973 memo...
Mentions pressure from Stoudt.
According to the LA Times.....Walter Stoudt retired in 1972.
http://www.latimes.com/la-na-guard15feb15,1,6240422.story
"Bush's application, as well as his commission, were handled by then-Col. Walter B. "Buck" Staudt, who said, "Nobody did anything for him…. There was no … influence on his behalf. Neither his daddy nor anybody else got him into the Guard." Staudt, who retired in 1972 as a brigadier general, said Bush was enrolled quickly because there was a demand for pilot candidates. "

"I've been saying this afternoon and evening that CBS will refuse to out the source."
If the 'rats were the source, CBS won't hesitate to out them. Nobody likes being beterayed. Even by people on your side.

It's funny how, as influential as it is, that FR is almost never mentioned in the news. Freerepublic.com is America's best kept open secret!

Wait a minute! Rather lied to strengthen the position of the democratic party, say it ain't so!I imagine that he believes it will help his almost non-existent ratings...

" But forging military documents is a federal felony. If the documents are fake, the network has to give law enforcement authorities the names of the sources."
I like it. i just hope the Justice Dept. follows up... like they DIDN'T (or haven't) with Sandy Burglar.
