We noted earlier that the Boston Globe cited Dr. Philip Bouffard as its prime source for the claim that the forged CBS documents were created on a typewriter, but that Dr. Bouffard has now complained that the Boston Globe misquoted him and that in fact, "There are all kinds of things that say that this is not a typewriter."
Now, unbelievably, CBS News is relying on the Globe's misquotation of Dr. Bouffard to shore up their own untenable claims of the documents' authenticity! I guess I'm beyond being shocked by anything CBS News does, but they must have known that Bouffard has complained about the Globe's misuse of his name.
This is, of course, a sign of CBS's desperation, but it is revealing in this respect: CBS claims to have thoroughly investigated and validated the documents before they ran their story. Yet the key witness they relied on Gen. Bobby Hodges, has said that he was lied to by CBS News and that in fact, he things the documents are forgeries. Notwithstanding their supposed investigation, CBS is so hard up for ammunition to support their position that they have to repeat an already-exposed lie by the Globe.
BTTT
This whole thing is reminding me of Blather's choice to exclude the Chandra/Condidit story from "his" broadcast for...how many weeks??? I can't remember. Hottest story on every other news program, and not one mention on Blather's.
Don't these guys have lawyers that could tell them what exactly constitutes evidence?

Perhaps we on the Internet are like those incredibly sensitive pollution monitors they have now. The arsenic has always been in the water, it's just that we never before had a means of detecting it. |
This is like seeing a Boing 747 in a movie supposedly from World War II, and some partisan defenders insisting that really, jet engines existed and were in use back then so it could have been genuine.
Is this what they call the spin cycle. One gets dizzy trying to keep track of it all. It is like a tornado that threatens to suck everything into its vortex. So far, however, the only folks they are fooling is themselves. If you keep in mind that the documents are forgeries, then the rest is easy. Anyone arguing otherwise is a liar.

I wonder if it hadn't died a while back. CBS' behavior makes no sense unless they honestly believe they can pull this off, which suggests that they have in fact pulled it off in the past.
