The lead expert retained by CBS News to examine disputed memos from President Bush's former squadron commander in the National Guard said yesterday that he examined only the late officer's signature and made no attempt to authenticate the documents themselves.

CBS' new slogan -

"We make up the news while you watch."

Note that CBS has not named any of the other "experts" they supposedly have (except for the guy who says it's "full of crap" to doubt the authenticity of the memos)

CBS has to keep saying the memos are real. If they admit they are forgeries there will be tremendous pressure to name the source.

I feel that the source was most likely the Kerry camp and it would be journalistic and commercial suicide for CBS to admit they were in the tank for the Dems.

Here's some exciting news: this article is actually linked to on the front page of http://www.msnbc.msn.com/.

Also, the article refers to Newcomer, you can view his article on the memos here: http://www.flounder.com/bush2.htm. Joseph M. Newcomer, PH.D., by far has the most compelling evidence and arguments yet against the CBS's memos.

How much you wanna bet Rather has been offering large sums of cash to "experts" over the past 4 days.

Yes, Fineman spelled it all out.

I felt bad for Professor Zelnick. He is watching a craft that he worked well in, and help to higher levels, get destroyed by an Idiot in suspenders.

Professor Zelnick looked completely disgusted by the actions at CBS.

I agree.

Rather has to be more nervous than a virgin at a prison rodeo.

Yes it is.

I have been reading through this thread...and I think it is hours old...but it is a riot.

This is better than the day a local radio station said they would not longer play Cher's music...because.."She sucks"

One quibble with this story:

In its broadcast last night, CBS News produced a new expert, Bill Glennon, an information technology consultant.

I see the WaPost, like CBS, has upgraded Glennon's title. He was a former IBM repairman.
