As soon as the story broke they pounced on it and quickly showed that the document upon which CBS based its story was in all likelihood a forgery.

"pounced" -- I like that!

What is happening is that for the first time in decades, if not ever, the power of the mainstream media (MSM) in the United States is being seriously challenged by a mostly ragtag army of outsiders armed with little more than the internet.

Of all the nerve...our Jammies are not ragtag!!!

Ouch. It's pretty bad when a foreigner sees the obviousness of the bias and can state it so plainly.

"They can do so at almost no cost"

Yeah, except in time.

I'm sure Rathergate is important in some ways, but it'd be nice if all those blogs that are spending all this time on that could be encouraged to cover things that are a bit more important.

THAT is an understatement.

I read an article recently describing it as "skewered" - on the antlers of buckhead I guess!

The Euro-elites are going to take a really big hit if this catches on over there.

I do believe the first stirrings of speculation regarding the legitimacy of the CBS documents, began right here - I am proud to claim - on FREE REPUBLIC.COM.

The first issue of National Review declares conservatives to stand up to the march of liberal history yelling STOP!
