Wow, this is a new – and better one – than I had.

The most definitive and authoritative typographic refutation here. I sent this link to Drudge last night but he so far hasn't run with it.

Against this, Time magazine has come up with a typewriter repairman to back the MSM's reluctance to accuse Rather of the obvious.

I think this will just push CBS into the niche of the looney moore left. CBS is ceeding the approximate 45% concervatives, the self proclaimed 35% moderats for the 19% self described liberals.

Eventually CBS news as a division will be gone because it is just a liabilty for atings and reputation.

I'm not forgeting it.

I am still contacting sponsors but my main target is my local affiliate. I have written the FCC and wrote a letter of complaint for their relicensing file.

Gads, you'd think that someone with as much experience lying and forging documents as CBS they would have at least tried to do a convincing job.

I guess they had to rush it to broadcast to save us from GWB!

That can NOT be allowed to happen!!

If the rest of the MSM does not hold him and CBS accountable then someone HAS to.

I too am not forgetting. I do believe we will see a shift back to the middle by the MSM. To stay competitive they will have to court the conservative side of news stories because the cable news services are kicking b&^%t now. The Internet has provided people with a voice to fight the heavy slants of the MSM and they are certainly feeling the effect.

I'd like to think you are correct but I do not think so. Point in case is our local paper the St. Pete Times. Their circulation has been dropping for years because they have been nothing but a shrill for the Dims.

In an attempt to run back to the middle to get sales they softened considerably for a few months, however....

Ever since the Repub convention they have gone full scale frenzied attack mode on the Repubs. Page after page of vicious attacks and vile labels.

I knew it was an act but it is a beautiful thing to watch. The libs are deeply angry that they no longer have a stranglehold on the media and it is driving them nuts! And honestly months ago I did not believe it could get any worse but now something tells me we have not seen anything yet. Enjoy the show!

I would have thought the major news media would realize that they need to scrupulously maintain at least the appearance of objectivity and fairness, since, rationally, there's always the possibility the side they don't support may win. Payback can be a bitch.

Now that CBS has been exposed as a party to fraud of the most serious kind, this is becoming a death struggle. It is fascinating to watch I will say.

"Bloggers have no checks and balances . . . [it's] a guy sitting in his living room in his pajamas." -- Jonathan Klein

This is, of course, far too delicious a statement to simply ignore. Already, bloggers have taken it up as a badge of honor.

Welcome to Jammie Nation, where Dan Rather gets his ass kicked by guys in pajamas.

Via Instapundit, "NO DISPUTING IT -- Blogs Are Major Players." Viva la revolucion. Left, Right, Center. Who cares? We don't need you anymore, Mr. Rather. We can do for ourselves just fine now, thank you.

Yes he will get away with it as will CBS and 60 Minutes. While the main stream media smells blood in the water right now, they will not push this. Doing so would be to their own detriment.

How can the other alphabet networks justify going after one of their own for doing exactly the same thing they do. We all know the networks flat out lie about most Republican positions. Everything from false statistics on economic news, to the number of homeless and poor in the country to ridiculous charges on the end of the assult weapon ban. To go after one of their own for making false claims, makes them vunerable.

As the elites have for 40 years.

These "news organizations", are politcal organizations.

cbsabcnbccnnnprnyt.....

This fact needs to be before the public in a grass-roots effort.

It should be relentless, consistant, with the total distruction as the goal.

We ought to have people stand outside CBS and whenever he appears shout, "What's the frequency?"

Or "what's the font type, Kenneth?"

The only problem is the 34567 thing which is the legit P.O. Box.
Rather would say, "See! See! That proves you're lying and the memos are genuine!"

CBS apparently has no checks and balances either.

Is it just me, or is there a whiff of fascism in that Klein statement?

The legit PO Box to what? National Guard units normally provided a street address, not a PO Box. Besides, I didn't say it was fake - I said it looked fishy. Still does.

Who does/did PO Box 34567 belong to?

No, no, no, no!

We run a full page Washington Times ad. Laying out the LIES by CBS and Dan Rather's attempt to throw a National Election.

We list our Experts, their determinations, the facts and
let America decide.

At the bottom a Statement from us, saying In today's world the word of a worn out Shill for the DNC is NOT a place to attempt to get the News regardless if the are a MSM news anchor, because what you are really getting is the Socialist slant with a taste of Political smear interjected for effect.

They can't be trusted!
