ALERT: Reports are now exploding across newspapers, television and the internet that CBS News, led by blatantly biased Dan Rather, used forged documents during a "60 Minutes" segment Wednesday night in an incompetent attempt to smear President George W. Bush's National Guard service. Clearly phony, these "new" documents were easily debunked overnight by solid evidence from forensic document experts, typographers and retired military officers.
Closer examination quickly proved the supposedly 30-year- old documents were generated in a modern-day typeface from a printer, not a typewriter, negating CBS News' excuse that the documents were aired because they passed handwriting analysis.
Yet Dan Rather PUSHED to air the groundless smear in an obvious attempt to counter President Bush's jump in the polls. As evidence of fraud mounts, Rather and the network have refused to name their source OR their expert who supposedly "authenticated" the documents.
At BEST, Rather and the CBS News staff are guilty of gross incompetence by allowing their desire to smear the President outweigh their professional duty to properly check the facts. At WORST, CBS News may be guilty of deliberately reporting what they knew to be false, and engaging in libel and slander against the President of the United States during a time of war.
Americans nationwide need to DEMAND accountability from the media -- and we've set up an easy way for you to do just that.
TAKE ACTION: You can click through below to use (or edit) our online letter, demanding that CBS News release the name(s) of its sources and air a retraction as the documents are proved to be forgeries. Tell the network to drop its blatant anti-Bush bias and stop trying to sway the election with unethical and unprofessional "reporting."
Furthermore, IF anchor Dan Rather pushed this story because of his bias, he deserves to be FIRED -- so you might even want to ask CBS to dump him NOW and clean house, so that CBS News can offer fair and balanced reporting worthy of regaining public trust.

NOTE: Be sure to forward this Alert to everyone you know who's sick of seeing the leftist mainstream media attacking President Bush with unfounded -- even forged -- allegations, simply in order to defeat him in the election. Thank you!
Fox news reported just a short while ago that a cBS source says the documents are "most likely" forgeries.
What's the difference between CBS News and professional wrestling?
Professional wrestling admits it is fake.

How about participating in a criminal conspiracy to influence a federal election? People need to go to federal prison for this.
Good Day,
Could you please provide me with a listing of all major advertisers to your News Department and in particular 60 Minutes. I intend to write all of them and let them know that I will boycott their products until they withdraw all advertising support to your network.
I know this might be rather inconvenient to your position but it would save me a great deal of time having to research your advertisers.
Thank you very much.
I have no idea why I've not gotten a response????
Need to dump CBS execs as well since they're 100% behind Blather's lies.
Why are you watching network TV? Shame on you! Replacing one lying jackal with another on CBS will have no effect. The better solution is simply to ignore CBS, let them fade into a distant memory. Don't try to improve CBS, let them slowly wither away.
They could always get Baghdad Bob, he's slightly more honest than Danny boy.
I will never believe this was an accident. Rather won't reveal his source because he knew the source was bogus.
I'd rather (no pun intended) demand that CBS keep Dan,
and use him to anchor all their so-called news shows,
just as warning to viewers.
Or replace him with Muhammad Said Kazim al-Sahhaf
("Baghdad Bob"). They both have the same credibility.
Looks lite the Fhit is hitting the San.
"I have no idea why I've not gotten a response????"
I don't think anyone has gotten a response to any e-mail which addressed this criminality.
Yes but I was so civil. I was VERY POLITE when asking for a list of their sponsors.
"VERY POLITE"
(snigger, snigger, guffaw, guffaw)
I don't think they have any G. Gordon Liddys on their side. When one of these rats is threatened with a 10-20 year federal sentence, the heads will begin to roll. The DNC, the Kerry campaign, CBS, and who knows who are involved in this.
Rather may try to hold on to the fiction that this story is legitimate in order to claim journalistic privilege. Unfortunately for him the documents are obvious fakes, and he can't use journalistic privilege to cover up fraud and conspiracy.
PAY NO ATTENTION TO THAT MAN BEHIND THE CURTAIN!!!!
The Great Dan has Spoken!!!!!
Good graphic! bump.
Are you going to call this the "Rather Not" campaign?
Actually, I'd prefer he stay right where he is so we can all watch as he and CBS implode.
---I will never believe this was an accident. Rather won't reveal his source because he knew the source was bogus.---
Especially if the source is the DNC via the Kerry campaign. Old Dan would be responsible for the demise not only his boy Kerry, but the Democratic Party as we know it!
