>>>Very refreshing after O'Reilly's pitiful show on this issue on Fox tonight ("I've read everything and don't know what to make of it." Bill is not the brightest bulb in the chandelier).<<<
O'Reilly is a fraud and most people have known it for a long time.
As Matt drudge says "every citizen is a reporter" To go a step farther, the media is just beginning to realize that the Internet provides a vast wealth of expertise in all fields.
Glad to hear it. I didn't like the tone of the current debate, where the onus was on us to prove it would have been physically impossible to write those memos in the 1970s.
I still see 'rat'ther as responsible for getting GHWB elected. I remember the alleged 'wimp factor' trailing the campaign until Bush kicked his a$$ in a televised interview
thanks dan!
looks like he's at it again for GWB
I was gratified to hear them say that credibility is their stock-in-trade. I wish CBS would get a clue.
For the first time in 40 years the liberal media is being taken to task in a big way, and it's websites like Free Republic who have been leading the way.
The best part is.... It's not an editor here at FR or some publication, it's the members who are confronting the liberal corruption in the NEWS.
When president Bush visited the Troops in Baghdad on Thanksgiving Day... We knew it first. When Saddam was captured it was the same thing. It goes on and on and on, and the fact is the "Old Media" is on its death bed
Would that explain Rather's astounded look when told about the type style not being available in 1972?
Would that explain CBS's apparent lack of knowledge of where Rather got the memos?
Inquiring minds want to know and we now trust the National Inquirer more than CBS.
Who can counter the carefully handpicked "experts" foisted on the public by the MSM.
Mikey Savage was saying today that O'Really's ratings are in the tank ... anyone know if it's true. If so ... it couldn't happen to a nicer clymer
Yeah, Freepers (and Fineman) may blog in pajamas, but at least we're not an EMPTY SUIT like Dan Blather.
I think "big media" knows it better start cleaning up it's act. Somehow CBS hasn't got the message yet.
You would think that after covering seven or eight presidential administrations--particularly Nixon and Clinton--Dan Rather and CBS would know that the cover-up always generates more attention and damage than the original crime.
Rather and CBS have become the news--news that is rapidly eclipsing any ancient history on Bush's air guard career.</p>

Now theres a sobering thought, the "final word" from the NY Slimes. What a blow to truth that would be.
What's good is that whatever Dan Rather does now,this story has been discredited anyway. I wonder if it even matters whether or not he back-pedals now,because even his mainstream colleagues are saying that his tactics are questionable,even though they're tip-toeing around his motives.
I enjoyed Fineman's remarks...he gets it.
No originals will be found. That would only further prove they are forgeries.
Why would a file memo be copied for a dozen generations anyway? It isn't as if it was distributed anywhere other than a single file box. There is only one reason. To mask the bogus source.
They both stand for NOTHING.
Unlike O'Reilly and John Kerry, President Bush is willing to stand up for what he believes, and to hell with the critics
