Look, I know that you are excited about your revelation, but your vanity post isn't "Breaking News" and will piss off quite a few FReepers. Come on, surely you are smart enough to figure out what "Breaking News" means...

I remember your excellent post on the six documents, Charleston! You should link the post here for other freepers and media lurkers to read. I think you are right that it points out CBS where not dupes but shaping the outcome they wanted.

Very interesting, I hadn't really thought of it in that way. It makes logical sense. It clarifies why CBS wants no investigation and is pursuing the stonewall strategy. The Congress and the FCC really need to get involved in this.

Yeah they are still expert shopping but the market is real tight.

You have made a VERY big catch here!

For those above who've already figured it out I'll give the poster one more plug here:

1. CBS was given the 6 documents that CNN was

2. One of the two they DIDN'T reveal was pointed out as a fraud by this expert

3. CBS stops further analysis and runs with the 4 they have left.

4. Yet (and I'll add my point here) there one & only "expert", the spirtual handwriting guy (who isn't certified) has written that when one document of a group is known to be a fraud the rest are automatically either suspect or ruled out prima facia, too!

What's important here is that ALL of this gets linked back to the DNC AND Kerry. Rather is finished professionally and may even wind up in jail. The DNC and Kerry need to go with him.

So are you saying that Rather knowingly, premeditated with malice of forethought intentionally set out to defraud the voting public who are in the undecided group?

It's unfortunate O'Reilly will go down with Rather.

Nice one!

Welcome to you.

BTW, some formatting would be easier on the old eyes. ;^)

I just e-mailed link to this post to Kerry Spot for him to confirm - if your catch is correct this could be the big(gest) one!

This is definitely BREAKING NEWS! Can you get a screen shot of that displayed document with the date? It does not accompany the ABC story.

The ABC story says: "Ultimately, they played a peripheral role and deferred to another expert who examined all four of the documents used,"

Clearly ABC does not understand that they were looking at a fifth document that CBS had suppressed.

I just posted to the admin moderator to suggest that this thread be put back in BREAKING NEWS.

Good job. Now, please get us the proof. If you don't have a means of getting a screen shot from the tape, then give us the city where you are. There may be a Freeper who can perform a screen capture for you. (Make a COPY of the tape!)

We may have another winner here if we can get charleston1 some help in preparing a screen shot of the document display from the ABC report!

Charleston1 saw something in the broadcast that ABC news missed! CBS was clearly shopping experts.

Excellent analysis. I would like to add something else to this, to take it a step further.

According to president of CBS News itself made this damning statement to the New York Times:
Addressing staff concerns, Mr. Heyward said, "The story was thoroughly vetted as all pieces of '60 Minutes' are, and the more they know about the process, the more reassured they will be that we used every appropriate journalistic standard and safeguard in reporting the story."

I have a feeling this story was just given the usual treatment by CBS. I believe this is standard treatment for their news. I believe CBS routinely does "expert shopping" and reports the opinions, facts, and findings selectively.

The difference is this time they got caught. And they only got caught because of the very recent development of the internet blogsphere. Just imagine if blogs were around during the Clinton years...

I believe in light of these new revelations ALL CBS News reports over the years are now suspect and need to be thoroughly reviewed for manipulations.

Vincent Foster, anyone..?

The other two documents aren't "breaking news", nor is the existence of two not used by CBS any sort of "Smoking Gun". What is eminently newsworthy, however, is that another MSM entity not only has "Seen the Light" but deemed it fit to bring it to the masses. I imagine the top-floor offices at CBS aren't real pleasant places to be along about now ... whether you're Les Moonves, Dan Rather or just an expendable mid-level producer.
