ABC is the most aggressive MSM outlet exposing the CBS's fraud last night (Nightline) and this morning. ABC has been running audio of Killian's widow denying that her late husband could type and that it would have been totally out of character for him to have prepared and filed these kind of documents.
My hunch is that these documents were also shopped to ABC (Stephenopolis, maybe?) by Kerry's boys earlier, and ABC took a pass because they didn't appear authentic enough. Thus when RAthER ran with them, ABC already had a good portion of the research into the false nature of the documents on the shelf and could quickly put it out.
If this is true, then ABC also knows the origin of the documents, and can scoop that part of the story if CBS doesn't come clean.
One flaw. If the origination of the documents is the Kerry bunch or the DNC, ABC will NOT scoop the story. It will do too much damage to the demoSCUMs and they won't be party to anything that would hurt Kerry, or more especially help Bush.
So, it is going to have to be public pressure.
Now, if ABC were smart, they would try take back some of the ground that Fox News Channel has rightly taken from them. If they were to be THE alphabet network that broke this story and in the process crushed John Kerry as a viable candidate, they could at least say that they reported the facts and weren't the tools of the left, that we have come to know them as.
They won't do that, but they could if you thesis is correct.
