Everybody needs to put the heat on over at cbsnews.com. Here is the Comment I sent to them:

Shameful. Disgraceful.

Mr. Rather, just admit it: You were duped. You were caught with your journalistic credibility down around your ankles. You were willing to believe anything that would damage President Bush's chances for re-election.

Your documents are forgeries. Obvious, childish hoaxes. You did not verify their authenticity, and now you look like a fool.

Mainstream media has almost no credibility left. To salvage what tattered remains exist of your reputation, you should immediately:

1) Admit that you shamelessly reported a slanderous hoax and presented it as unvarnished truth. Apologize for doing so.

2) Publicly state from whom you obtained the forgeries.

3) Turn the originals over to the FBI. This is quite possibly a criminal case.

Until you do these three things, I refuse to watch your news "show" and I will no longer support your advertisers. There are millions others like me.

"3) Turn the originals over to the FBI. This is quite possibly a criminal case." The latter is probably true, however, ain't going to happen. The Feebees wouldn't take it IMHO as it would smak of the GOP using the Feebees as a club to bash the Dems; the Feebees will say they are to busy working "terrorist" cases (or taking credit from those that do)

Speaking of advertisers, who are they? I saw a list of them on another thread a day or two ago, but forgot to index bump it. Do you know who seeBS news' main advertisers are?

It is fine to send stuff to Dan, but if you really want to cause panic, let the advertisers know you're fed up.
