Indymedia.org team in merger talks with CBS/Viacom
George Soros, CEO of Indymedia.org ltd has begun merger talks with the CBS/Viacom News Network to help bring together the Vibrant Staff of the Independant News Network with the resources and Global Consumer Reach of the CBS news network. This follows a meeting of the IMC Board of Directors and key Indymedia shareholders where it was decided that Indymedia needed to branch out from its traditional Liberal readership demographic to encompass more mainstream news interests and readerships....

But let's not forget this lovely Skull and Crossbones gem...

Dan Rather should resign or be fired !!

CBS news should fire Dan Rather for not being absolutely positively certain of the authenticity of these forged documents. We are in the absolute final leg of a Presidential election and Dan Rather rushed to press to get these dociuments on the air because he thought it would potentially help Kerry and hurt Bush. He is blinded by his partisanship and is not fit to be a journalist.

Dan Rather never even looked into where these papers came from. It was his job to be CERTAIN of their authenticity. It's fitting that Rather's career comes to an end under this cloud of his extremist partisanship. He will always be remembered for this. His legacy will be fitting....a reporter who would lie to America if it supported his Left Wing Ideology.

Their own document expert tells CBS that he has concerns about authenticating a document that has deteriorated, yet instead of first getting a copy of the original memos and authenticating them, CBS and Dan Rather unprofessionally and unethically decide to air the story based on copies of the memos that CBS say are [deteriorated] photocopies.

Why would the World Health Organization do such a thing?!?

"Ben Barnes trivia :"

I believe that was Randy Barnes:

John Kerry's Political Friends

But according to the current head of Missouri Veterans for Kerry, Randy Barnes, Mr. Kerry,who was then 27,was at the meeting, voted against the plot, and then orally resigned from the organization. . . But Mr. Barnes, the head of the Missouri Veterans for Kerry, said, “I don’t think there was a letter of resignation. He just said he was resigning after the vote.”

Wonder if he's related to Ben, though.

Soros and CBS?--interesting.

"A Big Thanks" for catching that- I'm going to have it deleted so as to not confuse everyone. (I should do this stuff during daylight hours.)

I keep thinking that aall the Kennedy cronies who started out in Kerry's stable are being replaced by Clinton Cronies. IMHO, there is a power play going on for control of the DNC, and the Kennedys, who have exerted their dynastical influence through 'loaning' full time campaign staff are on the way out.

Who gains in this coup de main? Hillary and her socialists.

I think the forger is a middle-aged white male Democrat with Vietnam-era military or guard service.

The difficulty the forger apparently had with superscript (sometimes he left a space between ### and "st" so it wouldn't automatically make a superscript) suggests to me the forger is not a young person. Young adults like me who grew up with computers in the house have no problem working with MS Word. Of course, plenty of middle-aged people are computer-savvy, but I'm guessing the forger isn't. Other evidence that he's got a problem with Word: he used the default settings.

The forger is probably ex-military, which means he's probably a male. He would have to be somewhat familiar with the acronyms in use at the time and the general style of Guard documents. I don't think he could get that just by reading the documents. He either served in the Guard or in some similiar outfit. Because I think he's middle-aged, I'd guess he served during the Vietnam era or around then.

That is my "profile," at least.

LOL! Me, too--up way too late here. . .
