I've posted this on a lot of old media meltdown threads, but it has rarely been more appropriate.

Dan Rather, I think, is the doomed marsupial on the left.

"As is standard practice at CBS News, each of the documents broadcast on '60 Minutes' was thoroughly investigated by independent experts, and we are convinced of their authenticity," she said.

"Has it come to this, at long last? Have you no shame -- no shame at all?"

Concerned about politics posted this today:

http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/articles/A9967-200...

CBS News released a statement yesterday standing by its reporting, saying that each of the documents "was thoroughly vetted by independent experts and we are convinced of their authenticity." The statement added that CBS reporters had verified the documents by talking to unidentified individuals who saw them "at the time they were written."

< snip >

A senior CBS official, who asked not to be named because CBS managers did not want to go beyond their official statement, named one of the network's sources as retired Maj. Gen. Bobby W. Hodges, the immediate superior of the documents' alleged author, Lt. Col. Jerry B. Killian. He said that a CBS reporter read the documents to Hodges over the phone, and that Hodges replied that "these are the things that Killian had expressed to me at the time."

"These documents represent what Killian not only was putting in memoranda, but was telling other people," the CBS News official said. "Journalistically, we've gone several extra miles."

The official said the network regarded Hodges's comments as "the trump card" on the question of authenticity, as he is a Republican who acknowledged that he did not want to hurt Bush. Hodges, who declined to grant an on-camera interview to CBS, did not respond to messages left on his home answering machine in Texas.



Simply amazing.

Rather was so excited to spread lies about Bush, that he was careless. He knew the docs were bogus, but he did it anyway. He will go to his grave saying he did not...but the world shall know better.


He was just using the democRAT's old playbook: "How many people can we fool today?" But those days are over because of the INTERNET and sites like F.R.!!!

Sounds like a fun evening.

I might take Nov. 3 off. People I work with will be really ticked and I'll be in such a good mood. I told them today that "Fallujah should be bombed back into the stone age" and everybody got really quiet, no one said a word. Sometimes I think I'm the only conservative there.

"The official said the network regarded Hodges's comments as "the trump card" on the question of authenticity, as he is a Republican who acknowledged that he did not want to hurt Bush.

In other words, we knew a democrat would lie, and we knew that a military type would hate Kerry, so we "checked" these documents by reading them over a telephone to a retired military republican..........
