Rather's stonewalling is beyond bizarre. *Everyone* can see the memo is fake! Now, CBS has gone from risking reputation and ratings to beggin for Congressional action.

I just heard a sonic boom reading this article.

Must have been Dan Blather's sphincter slamming shut!

Ok. I am new to this. Using the search engine, I did a search with Cox and Rather and got a null result.

Besides delving the archives, how should I form the search query differently?

CFR was about shutting up everybody except the MSM for the 60 days prior to the election.

If the MSM is going to be the only political voice allowed, then on their part fraud should be an imprisonable offense.

As much as I like Chris Cox, this just seems like some kind of campaign stunt since he didn't seem so upset about Sandy Berger stuffing his undies with top secret docs.

Why would he, Berger is already under criminal investigation, Rather is not ....yet !

Fine to rant about this. But I'm not sure we really want a Congressional investigation. Bush is winning this fight with the current strategy. Why change it now?

Slap the entire title in the search bar, Instead of "match all words" switch that to "match any word",take out common words "it" "at" "the" things like that.

Search by date then by relevance.

I would suggest that there is, presently, an on going investigation into Sandy Burgler.

Thanks! Just a bit new to this forum, a bit overly eager and a bit gleeful that CBS news is getting it comeuppance.

Welcome to FR. It will become an addiction.

It already is. I'm spending WAY too much time on this board. I still need to figure out the etiquette, etc...

But I guess that RatherGate is just so outrageously infuriating (akin to the LA Times hatchet job on Schwarzenegger) that I finally caved and had to be amongst like minded individuals.

The stakes for this election are too high. My wife worked across from the WTC (she survived) and the thought of Kerry schmoozing with the frogs rather than taking action against the terrorists is too scary.

btw, how are things down in FLA?

Because there is more to this than just the election.

Perhaps the Sheeple will start to realize the extent to which the MSM is lying to them.

Perhaps other News Readers will be a lot less blatent in their partisanship. This may have, in fact, happened. I do not think Matt Lauer on the Today show would have been anything other that gracious to Kitty Kelly except for RatherGate.

Fine... After the election. When you're ahead by a touchdown with one minute to go, you don't take chances.

You can't have the main stream media running phoney news to advance their agenda.

We have it. The best we can hope for is that people know it's phony. Turning this over to Congress after we've won that war will only muddy the waters.
