Bump
Points well taken, thanks.
good one bump
btt
As I recall, the 35 series regs and manual in the AF had to do with personnel issues, as is alluded to in this article. For example, AFR 35-10 had to do with the dress code.
Excellent.
This is really important. Not just because these documents are going to be proved to be forged.. but because its going to show the main stream media that they can't lie to us anymore... or at least when they do they very likely will get caught.
The amateurs were military loathing, truth loathing operatives CBS and the DNC.
Under the scrutiny of thousands of analysts, the CBS story began to melt down.
It didnt melt, it was exposed
to the conclusion that the documents which Dan Rather relied on
Gunga Dan, failed Marine wannabe, didnt rely. He was responsible. He screwed up. He is the big cheese. He gets the big money. He takes the fall. Come on Dan, front and center
While there is no doubt that there are competent professionals at CBS News
No doubt? I doubt they have any professionals, except expert hack, bumrim lickers.
amount of competent analysis. Put another way, the classic media outlet generates data and entertainment but they don't generate much information.
I have been saying this for decades, as a matter of basic fact. Someone, please, answer me these questions. How can a institution which employs almost entirely people who know nothing, be competent to report on anything? What do journalist know? I know that they are ignorant, unschooled, uneducated, unskilled and have no practical experience in science, history, math, industry, engineering, manufacturing, military history/tactics/strategy/weapons, literature, trades, medicine
. They have been pedaling a rank bill of fare forever. Their goods suck. Always have, always will. Journalist are people, by and large, who are too stupid to go into medicine, too lazy to be a lawyer, too unimaginative to write novels or screenplays, too weak to be a productive tradesman, too cowardly to be in the military or a cop or a fireman
I am entering my mid seventies and I have never seen anything like this. I note on Imus this a.m. the imbroglio is mentioned but then it is on to Hurricane Ivan and some novel. The MSM is no match for FR and the blogosphere!
Belmont Club perpetuates a myth I think. The first post alleging forgery was posted not on Powerline but on Free Republic by Buckhead:

Documents Suggest Special Treatment for Bush in Guard
...
AND...regarding "60 Seconds"... Ben Barnes' daughter has come forward and said "I love my father BUT, he's lying about helping Bush get in the guard."! He told her so in 2000!!! 2 stories bashing Bush absolutely shot down in flames.
Thanks for the post. Illuminating.
The money in the business of journalism is in entertainment, not truth. It is that imperative to entertain which produces the perspective of journalism.And that journalism does indeed have a perspective is demonstrated every day in what it considers a good news story, and what is no news story at all. Part of that perspective is that news must be new--fresh today--as if the events of every new day were of equal importance with the events of all other days. So journalism is superficial. Journalism is negative as well, because the bad news is best suited to keep the audience from daring to ignore the news. Those two characteristics predominate in the perspective of journalism.
Why Broadcast Journalism isJournalism is far too busy arguing from authority - "authority" which is merely self-hype - to trouble itself with taking criticism seriously. Journalism claims to be objective, but that is the same as claiming to be wise. It is merely a declaration that it is foolish to argue with them because their mind (and indeed they only have one mind; to have individual minds would take courage) is made up.
Unnecessary and Illegitimate
I want to send a special thanks and job well done to all who exposed this FRAUD! The MSM as egg on there face and not just CBS. All news services need to wake up and do real investigative work before repeating stories. But there tilt to left won't allow it. This will come back to haunt Kerry. Of course it depends on how well this "part" of tht story is reported.
GOOD JOB PEOPLE!!!!!!!! FREE REPUBLIC ROCKS!!
Ok, so how long before CBS tries to blame the forgeries on the RNC? I'm thinking by Sunday. Also, isn't CBS scheduled to run a segment on Sunday with the guy who claims to have helped Bush get a Guard slot?
BTTT!!!!!!!
Excellent!
