The only thing that will be the catalyst forcing revelations about who created the forgeries and their chain of custody will be subpoenas.
I don't care where they come from, but subpoenas have to be issued. If people are paying attention, they realize the MSM and cable news aren't going after CBS for their sources and chain of custody information. They are going after its journalistic integrity. There is no way the DNC and the Kerry Campaign will be directly implicated until people *in the know* are faced with telling the truth or sacrificing their own careers.
Bottom line is CBS does not have to protect the source since the documents provided were fake fraudulent forgeries. Since the information received was tainted they can reveal the source without compromising their policy.
I agree, it's not a public opinion issue at this point, it's a legal issue. They seem to have zero appreciation for the gravity of what they attempted with this: it's beyond just absence of journalistic integrity, but it's a blatant misrepresentation with an intended political consequence, by a corporation which presents itself to the public as news and enjoys bandwidth regulated by the FCC.
What laws apply? Surely they can't get away with this with the only slap on the wrist coming in the form of a bit of criticism from their MSM colleagues.

Well then, I guess we can't go after CBS because they have no "journslistic integrity".
