Why should we have to buy space for a legitimate news story that would be run just that way for free if it were the other way around? I say force the major dailies to run it.
It's covered in at least 20 threads. Pull up in your pajamas and do the reading :-)
My favorite quote was
Welcome to Jammie Nation, where Dan Rather gets his ass kicked by guys in pajamas.
Probably.
Will they get away with it? Yes.
Since you are here anyway, listen up: Get rid of that anchor, it is weighing you down.
"O Danny Boy, the pipes, the pipes are calling..."
It's past tense. The frequency guy did not get away with it. Someone, however, needs to remind him that that saying "it is true" without evidence is an opinion, not a fact.
Whatever happened to professionalism?
He's a professional. In the same sense a whore is a professional. He gets paid, doesn't he?
Hang around long enough at FR and you can learn about anything.
The unprofessional one who doesn't want to talk about it was mugged about 10 years ago, beaten by someone shouting at him repeatedly, "Whats the frequency, Kenneth?.
I can't believe any one would stop typing, change the ball, just to get the small th. Stop again and change the ball. I spent 30 year in administration and would have never wasted time doing that when 187th or 111th would suffice.
"Until someone shows me definitive proof that they are not [authentic], I don't see any reason to carry on a conversation with the professional rumour mill." -- Dan Rather
Document experts weighed in for CNN and ABC concluded that the documents are forgeries. Dan Rather is calling his esteemed colleagues at ABC and CNN members of the professional rumor mill.
Expects we talked to, agreed that with 99.999% certainty Dan Rather is into beastiality.

Doh, expects=Experts
Boy I really can't wait till some of us get away from these old typewriters and have access to word processing software. :)
Just received this in an e-Mail...
Doc,
Another Point about CBS,
Zip code 77034 does not have and never has had PO Boxes.
The closest Zip code in Houston with PO Boxes is 77032.
PO Box 34567 Houston, Texas 77034 never existed in 1972
My company is in the data business and has the history on addresses.
Propostional spacing was introduced in 1980 with the Xerox Memorywriter which competed with the IBM Selectric.
I wouldn't be so sure IBM didn't have a Times Roman font ball. They definitely didn't have it in proportinnal spacing.
I spent 28 years with Xerox in sales and sales training.
Superscript didn't become available until laser printers in 1984 with the HP Laser Jet.
Keep up the good work.
