Excellent post, excellent commentary.

The ferocious, rapid unmasking by New Media of Rather's blatant forgeries and the rest of his completely fraudulant campaign is indeed one of those moments when history has been made.

I am fortunate to be alive on this glorious day. It reminds me of the day the German people tore down the Berlin Wall.

KERRY GAVE TESTIMONY BASED UPON FALSE INFORMATION
THAT KERRY KNEW AHEAD OF TIME TO BE FALSE!



September 6, 2004 -- **BREAKING** In Yesterday's Lies: Steve Pitkin and the Winter Soldiers, Scott Swett tells the story of a former VVAW member and participant in the Winter Soldier Investigation who states that John Kerry and others pressured him to give false testimony about American atrocities in Vietnam. After more than 33 years, Pitkin is the first Winter Soldier "witness" to file a legal affadavit regarding that event...

My name is Steve Pitkin, age 20, from Baltimore. I served with the 9th Division from May of '69 until I was airvaced in July of '69. I'll testify about the beating of civilians and enemy personnel, destruction of villages, indiscriminate use of artillery, the general racism and the attitude of the American GI toward the Vietnamese. I will also talk about some of the problems of the GIs toward one another and the hassle with officers.

-- Steve Pitkin, Winter Soldier Investigation, February 1, 1971.

60 Minutes to Infamy- those forged memos and The Shot Heard Round the World

MSM is now the "whip & buggy." They are OLD MEDIA.

As horrendous as listening to the death rattle is, that is what we are now hearing. MSM: their time has passed. RIP.

[ken21]

hope so.

i didn't like rather in 1973.

had a girlfriend that moved to georgetown, and wrote me a letter, "i live down the street from dan rather"!

i wrote back "i'd rather not live down the street from dan rather".

never heard from her again.

Anyone try to contact CBS lately. I tried to click on their "contact us" link, and it didn't work...

Old Dan lost me back in 92 election the way he badgered 41 during an interview. It was embarassing to watch.

What's great is the TANG stuff could never have damaged W even a little. It wasn't worth a tenth of a % in the polls.
There was no win side to it at all. At best it was a win/noting proposition and it should have been obvious to the Frenchlies before they they threw it out there. When you initiate a maneuver that has a best outcome of not losing you any ground and a worst outcome of losing a LOT of ground, why do it?????? Are they so utterly devoid of material to use? issues to raise? He had done better to stand with his fist in the air shouting,"Workers of Amerika, Unite!"

5-minute news cycle."

There's SOME truth to that. However, I put together a summary which hits most of the high points on this story. After reading it, I can't imagine anyone would believe the CBS memos to be anything but the cheapest, sloppiest sort of forgery.

However, besides all the blogs quoted, there, even Always Partisan AP is quoted, and not always by way of debunk (although it is a couple of times). USA Today is quoted, and so on. I don't know that old media is monolithically fading. I think the more openly partisan, such as the alphab nets, the wire services, and a couple of the leading papers like NY Times, Wash Post, LA Times, and now maybe Boston Globe, are going to be hurt, in coming years. But others could fill in.

Things change. And I think the form and shape of media is going to remain fairly constant. But a new role will develop, even a reliance by 'old' media upon them, for bloggers and web posters to act as fact checkers. It could even save something like AP, which seems to almost get stories wrong more often than not, these days. If pressed by essentially freelance investigative reporters, and those with personal knowledge not otherwise available, it could even become something of a partnership. The more influential 'bloggers' could start charging service fees to newspapers and networks, and especially AP. And it'll be interesting to see how such transpires.
