CBS News FReeped <--- (actual headline)
Illinois Leader ^ | Friday, September 10, 2004 | by Arlen Williams

NEW YORK -- Yesterday, Goliath CBS News was delivered a smooth stone to the forehead by a FReeper.

A poster in the FreeRepublic.com conservative news forum mentioned something peculiar about two documents CBS’s 60 Minutes claimed on September 8 were generated by now deceased Lieutenant Colonel Jerry B. Killian regarding an allegedly National Guard-evading George W. Bush in 1973.

Within minutes following the broadcast, FReeper "TankerKC" wrote this to FReeper "Howlin'":

WE NEED TO SEE THOSE MEMOS AGAIN!

{snip]

Since then, news of the potential forgery glitch spread like wildfire from blog to blog and into the mainstream press - especially that of CBS competitors ABC and NBC.

I've come to the belief that the rats were set up by the White House. There are just too many obvious phony elements to them. PO Box 345657? Give me a break!

The rats were allowed to steal the docs, and thought they had the goods on W. Now they have to defend the docs as authentic, because the alternative is to admit to Watergate-like dirty tricks.

It may take time, but it does prove that one person can make a difference!

United We Stand, Divided We Fall.

Just up for night time snack.

Guess Al Gore could just shoot himself in the foot for inventing the Internet /sarcasm off.

Where's that popcorn?

Good article but one thing I haven't heard about is Rather's claim that the WH released documents with some of the same features that show up on the Killian documents. Anybody know anything about these documents?
