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.

Thank you Jim, for being the springboard, for us all. FreeRepublic is going to be the wave of the future. Thousands of reporters all working over the news.
Jim, have you ever thought of having the threads go audio? I think it would be a hit.

There are a lot of FReepers I admire, but I swear to goodness ... you are NUMBER ONE! I'll bet you're pleased that you have made a difference. We are all proud of you, without a doubt. Thank you.

By the end of this week, I bet Rather will wish he were back on that sidewalk, getting pounded like a twenty-dollar rump roast.
To: PhilDragoo
[You, quoting Brent Bozell of Media Research Center]
“Rather’s insistence that someone – much less a President of the United States – could be an honest man at his core and still lie about any number things was more than the audience could take. Rather admitted that we would consider it – in his words – ‘astonishing’ that anyone would think that way and say so, and he’s right.” LOL -- and, as Molly Ivins would no doubt insist about both Rather and Clinton, with a straight face, "But he's so gooood on the issues!"

Looks like Dan wants to win two years in a row!
