They keep trying to pin this on Bush by saying the White House "didn't question their accuracy"... HOW COULD THE BUSH WHITEHOUSE KNOW WHAT KILLIAN WAS THINKING AT THE TIME? SHOULDN'T CBS / DNC HAVE VETTED THEM BETTER THAN THAT?
The most important thing you can do is to contact CBS and voice your disgust about Dan Rather. Second, about CBS's anti-Bush taint, and third, send media links to the controversy to the advertisers and lodge a complaint with the advertisers that they must repudiate the 60 Minutes hit piece. Do they want their products associated with a politically motivated hatchet job which turns out to be a fraud?
CBS 60 Minutes Hit Piece on Bush
This should be enough to put a LOT of heat on CBS if you're willing to do the work. Complain to CBS advertisers. Most of these are advertisers that were involved with the 60 Minutes slam on Bush, but hey, complain to them and ask for them to pull their advertising from the Bush Hating CBS...
