snipped... Saturday, Sept. 11, 2004 10:04 a.m. EDT

' Ms. Mapes explained that "60 Minutes" had already conducted the interview, but was unlikely to include Roome's account in their report, telling Killian Jr.: "We think he is pretty pro-Bush..." snipped

[stefeb]

But Ben Barnes isn't "too" pro-Kerry???

These people are nuts!

[Gibtx]

They did this to us in VN 30 yrs ago.. their doing it to this generation and we must stop them.... this time...

[Brilliant]

Anyone who disagreed with Rather was too "pro-Bush".

[queenkathy]

Ya, that's right! Ben Barnes was talked to as if he was God or something and they discredit all others. Even family members. Well I don't watch CBS anyway and already sent emails about my view.

[Mike Bates]

"There is just no question that I, among others, have a liberal bias. I mean, I'm consistently liberal in my opinions. And I think some of the -- I think Dan (Rather) is transparently liberal. Now, he may not like to hear me say that. I always agree with him, too. But I think he should be more careful."

[fhayek]

Why they just find someone who is 'pro-truth'?

[Brilliant]

Did anyone else notice that the forged memos suddenly appeared out of nowhere right after Kerry met with Clinton and added Begala to his payroll?

[technomage]

As opposed to the entire CBS News management and staff being too pro-Kerry?

God, these people are either brain dead, or think the American peeples are brain dead. This is laughable.

We are witnessing the suicide of the so-called main stream news.

[Wardawg]

The MSM sees republicans and objective witnesses. These are the only two types of people and republicans can only be used as objective if they're anti-republican like BUchannon, O'Kerry, or Scarface Country.

Someone please elevate this issue out of the "he said-she said" kind of inconclusive skirmishes that the press likes to feature. To me - there is nothing more objective and fact based than the evidentiary value of documents. I hire forensic document examiners in the process of handling probate and other matters and when you realize the level of detail observable and detectable about an original document - paper, ink, fonts, watermarks, etc. it's rather amazing. So - while looking at Adobe images of the documents is interesting - the the key is this: Is anyone dealing with original documents? Or is the CBS analysis being done on xth generation photocopies?

I'll be as happy as anyone if Dan Rather's tit is securely in the wringer over this - but it has to be based on facts and not opinions based on highly derivative images of the original documents at the heart of this.

The good in watch what the Communist Broadcasting System (CBS) is doing here, is great for America. It is finally calibrating and bracketing the far-leftist biased media for all the American public to be witness to..from this point on, we will have no problem in immediately fingering biased and corrupt output, and better yet, the public will be much better equipped to direct their viewership, readership and other revenue-determining activities to other news media.

As predicted by many, they are outdoing themselves and backsliding into the tarpits of history.

[Americanwolf]

They never stop from Vietnam till now, and the a lot of the teachers that were either from this generation (baby boomers, Sorry don't want to include all, but a vast majority are the anti-war crowd.) or parents of children following. Have continually try to convince Americans that war is wrong in any form, and they have try to take teaching about civics and pride in America out of our school systems. The thing that Amazes me the most though is those baby boomer's that are of grand parenting age and where the hippies and antiwar protesters of the late 60's are all in knots, because their grandchildren are turning out to be predominately conservative.

[Stentor]

I'll be as happy as anyone if Dan Rather's tit is securely in the wringer over this - but it has to be based on facts and not opinions based on highly derivative images of the original documents at the heart of this.

You mean the original umpteenth generation bullcrap ciopies? Others have made this baloney point. If there were no originals, than no accusations should have been made. Who is Dan, the Pope, that he has to be refuted.

[DaveMSmith]

The left's frantic blind hatred has only served to out themselves. Expose yourselves, lefties! Tell America how you operate! The left's conspiracy apparatus is out there for all to see.

[cwb]

According to American Spectator's, The Prowler, both the DNC and the Kerry campaign have had these documents for 6 weeks. This is what makes this even more disgusting, since even they had questions about their authenticity...as did CBS when they were handed over to them.

[bigfootbob]

Ms. Mapes used to work for KIRO TV in Seattle, nuff said?

CBS: Unsinkable!

[OldFriend]

Anyone who speaks the truth cannot be given voice by the america hating media.

[Robert357]

If Democrats and their liberal main stream media buddies can allow a President of the US to twist the meaning of the words "is" and "sex," should we really expect the media to feel that "news" needs to be "new" or "factual?"

I am so upset over this whole obvious lying Dan Rather thing, and who the Kerry supporters from Michael Moore to Dan Rather to Texans to Kitty Kelly don't give a hoot about truth and the media just laps it all up to promote this trash.
