ALEXANDRIA, Va. --- Media Research Center President Brent Bozell today challenged CBS News to apologize to the American people for its false and misleading reporting on President Bush’s National Guard service, as well as to come clean with the public and expose the people who forged documents that falsely cast Bush in a negative light.
“Until CBS atones for its complicity in this character assassination attempt of President Bush, the letters ‘CBS’ will stand for ‘Can’t Believe Squat.’ With every Watergate-like denial, the integrity of CBS News continues to crumble,” Bozell said.

YA -HOOOOOOOOOOO
LOL..
they were Can't Believe Squat long before now and regardless of what they do in this latest barrage of lies, they'll still be CBS (Can't Believe Squat)
Townhall also has a link asking people to complain to cbs about forged docs.

Yes!
It's amazing to contemplate that another news organization actually has less integrity than the New York Times.
I should have posted the whole story, I'm on my first coffee....
Evidence Against CBS News Has Continued To Mount
As CNSNews.com first reported, and NBC, Washington Post, Fox News Channel and others have repeated, independent experts say CBS’s “memos” appear to have been produced by a modern word processor, not a 1970s typewriter.
Both CNN and the Washington Times have quoted other independent experts who declared that the signatures on the documents could well be forgeries.
The Los Angeles Times found Major General Bobby Hodges – who CBS claimed to be its key source – who revealed he had never seen the documents, had only had them read to him, and upon seeing them declared they were fakes.
Both Jerry Killian’s widow and son have stated publicly he would not have written these memos. CBS refused to put Killian’s son on the air after interviewing him, and also refused to interview others whom Killian recommended because they were “Bush supporters.”
The CBS News story did not disclose that one of its key sources, former Texas Lieutenant Governor Ben Barnes, is a major fundraiser for the Kerry campaign and that he has raised the campaign $500,000. Nor did the accusations that Barnes is not telling the truth – coming from his own daughter, no less! – ever see the light of day on CBS.
The Dallas Morning News reported over the weekend that the commander who supposedly was blamed for pressuring a subordinate to “sugar coat” Bush’s record had retired 18 months before he was said to have applied such pressure.
“The CBS story is a hoax and a fraud, and a cheap and sloppy one at that.. It boggles the mind that Dan Rather and CBS continue to defend it. Dan Rather and CBS need to be reminded that the cover-up is always worse than the crime. Just ask Richard Nixon or Bill Clinton,” Bozell said.
has anyone checked Viacom stocks today?
LOL -- SO TRUE!!
or the medicine cabinet at CBS
CBS' fraudulent attempt to bring down a President will be seen as a monumental and historic American political scandal. On the Richter Scale it should measure 9.
That's gonna leave a mark, and the moniker will stick for an indefinite period. CBS's credibility is gone.
Who really cares whether or not the memos are authentic?
Even if they are for real (which I do not believe they are), who gives a rat's ass whether or not George W. Bush showed up for a routine physical exam 38 years ago?
GWB never gave aid & comfort to the enemy.
GWB never went before Congress and falsely testified against his fellow officers and enlisted men who were still in combat.
GWB didn't hang out with Jane Fonda under the Viet Cong banner.
Don't forget, Barnes also swore under oath in 1999? that he didn't get pressure to get W into the Guards.
CBS = Can't Believe Squat!
Bush didn't blow away a vietcog woman, her baby, and an old man either. That was before he was a swift boat skipper.
Then he shot a 14 year old wounded kid in the back as he was fleeing. You'd think he would have just knocked him to the ground and taken him prisoner. But no, kerry makes up a big lie and gets a silver star for it. Some "hero"
I would have changed the last word.
Bump!
It seems all the Dem's bashing stratagies are failures.
Sharon Bush is going to sue that Kitty Kelly aparently.
