Previously posted, but worth reading again.

This might be Steyn's best ever.

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...

Beautifully done. The Swiftvet-connection just superb.

Dan Rather and the elderly gentlemen at ''60 Minutes'' were all atwitter because they'd come into possession of some hitherto undiscovered memos relating to whether George W. Bush failed to show up for his physical in the War of 1812. The media had been flogging this dead horse all spring, but these newly ''discovered'' memos had jump-started the old nag just enough to get him on his knees long enough for the media to flog him all over again.

Steyn is the Mozart of punditry.

Another Steyn home run!

The tragedy for Rather, Oliphant, Krugman and Co. is that even if the memos were authentic nobody would care. Their boy Kerry had a crummy August not because he didn't hammer Bush for being AWOL in the Spanish-American War but because the senator's AWOL in the present war. Big Media are trashing their own reputations in service to a man who can never win.

Goodbye Old Media! I think Rather will be done very shortly.

Great stuff:

So, on the one hand, we have hundreds of living veterans with chapter and verse on Kerry's fantasy Christmas in Cambodia, and, on the other hand, we have a guy who's been dead 20 years but is still capable of operating Windows XP.

The media and the Democrats sustain each other's make-believe land. Dan Rather tells his staff, ''Kerry's told me there's nothing to this Swiftvet thing.'' Kerry tells his, ''Rather's assured me this Swiftvet story's going nowhere.''

That's it! The Journalistic Gold Standard of 2004!!!

I haven't paid much attention to this writer before, but he sure knows how to cut to the quick with the salient facts.
I am in awe of his ability to hammer out a winner of a column day after day.

BUMP. Too bad Ivan and 9/11 are helping the Lame Stream Media to bury this story.

After the 2002 election, I wrote, “Remind me never to complain about ‘liberal media bias’ again. Right now, liberal media bias is conspiring to assist the Democrats to sleepwalk over the cliff.”

Just damn, I mean just damn. This man Steyn is a magnificant jewel who deserves the highest recognition and acclaims.

Shiite, I digress, he is not liberal, so henceforth the "real" jounalists say blah, blah, blah, blah, and then some more egotistical, blah, blah, blah.

John Kerry must resign his Senate seat immediately because his campaign is spreading forged documents. This may not be a criminal act, but it is an act so dishonest that the man who's campaign perpetrated is not fit to serve in public office in any capacity whatsoever, even in Massachusetts.

I don't expect him to resign, or quit the race, but I hope that his negative coattails cause the Democrats to lose big time in Congress. It almost goes without saying that he will not be elected president.

"The standard of clear and convincing evidence," he said, talking to Swiftvet John O'Neill as if he were a backward fourth-grader, ''is what keeps this story in the tabloids -- because it does not meet basic standards.''

Last week, we got a good idea of what Thomas Oliphant's ''basic standards'' are.
OWNED. Absolutely. Frickin'. PWN3D.
