This looks like piling on to me.

STICK TO YOUR GUNS DAN RATHER!!!!

Question is, do ABC and CNN have the guts to follow up on this.
Blather's defense was such an unbelievable farce. He completely changed what the real accusations and inconsistincies around the document were, and responded to just the flimsly accusations, when there are real serious discrepencies.
It's sickening they are eating it up. I see a few members of the MSM are out in full force with "Experts now say they are real" horsecrap.
These people make the deceit of the old Soviet Union look like childs play.
Unfortunately, things like this don't lead to the firing of the anchoman. Some low level fact checker will get canned, maybe a junior grade producer will resign, but that will be it.
The CBS/democrat stance seems simple enough.
Call Barnes daughter, Killians son and widow liars. In fact call anyone who disagrees a liar and continue to push their AWOL theory anyway even if it is based on a forgery.
Much like the "feminists" who stood beside Clinton as he groped, fondled, and diddled his way through his political career, CBS has exposed itself as nothing more than rank hypocrites and Democrat partisans.
But I'm afraid it won't matter. A hallmark of the left is that they lack shame, and never take responsibility for their actions. CBS will simply drop any mention of this incident down the memory hole, and will continue to sell advertising and broadcast the news as if it doesn't matter, and as if they really are an "objective" news source. And some people will continue to watch.
But a significant (and growing) portion of America knows better, and will never trust them.
But Rather ignores the blatant fact that the story itself came from "partisan political operatives" such as himself.
Is he the one who interviewd Saddam Hussain
Well, U.S. socialists survived the collapse of Communism! Remarkable!
They are pros, not amateurs, at lying.
I like that. Finally, the dots have been connected.
Aha! Soooo Mr. Bush... so you won't comment on charges that you took your dog Barney to a sex club in Austin?!
What everyone seems to lose sight of it that CBS has the burden of proof on the documents. It's not enough to say that in some theoretical universe, Killian might have been able to acquire a high end typewriter and printer and have created the documents. They have to prove that he DID acquire that typewriter and printer and create the documents. They have to prove how they acquired the documents from his house when his family denies their existence. Rather and his cohorts say, "We'll, you skeptics have to *disprove* that these documents are authentic." Not true.
In the end, CBS has accomplished its mission.......
Replacing the Swift Boat Vets with this.
That's all they care about.
Swollowe his own 38.
Gosh Dan, you feel that your bias can not be questioned by the unwashed masses?
