My first post. I waited a few minutes and no-one else posted. Hope I've done it right. KSL Radio, Salt Lake City 5pm MST

Statement by the President of CBS News, Andrew Heyward:

"We established to our satisfaction that the memos were accurate or we would not have put them on television. There was a great deal of coroborating [sic] evidence from people in a position to know. Having said that, given all the questions about them, we believe we should redouble our efforts to answer those questions, so that's what we are doing."

Ie, they're fake, but we believe what they say.

Also on Drudge, now.

[Steven W.]

They've had further review - they're FORGERIES. It's Dan Rather's contract that deserves further review. It's the weekly scheduling of 60 Minutes that deserves further review. These LIARs are nothing but arrogant.

Welcome to FR. Is this the 5:00 statement we've been waiting for?

[socal_parrot]

How nice of him. They've already been reviewed more times than Gone With the Wind.

Welcome to Free Republic.

Dude, sorry for all the inadvertent spacing.

[68skylark]

That's it?? That's a pretty weak statement.

who where those sources? it says the memos were ACCURATE.. but NOT authentic. Accurate to WHOSE opinion (not fact).

[68skylark]

So he's saying, "We'll follow up with more information after the election."

[ThreeYearLurker]

we believe we should redouble our efforts to answer those questions

No S@@@ Sherlock!

[ChipShot]

No. This is the 10:30 am statement we were waiting for.

[Don'tMessWithTexas]

CBS could not admit that they were W-RRRRRR-ONG. CBS is toast.

[Cagey]

That large blank section under their message is very appropriate. Perhaps their typewriter ribbon ran out of ink?

[Biblebelter]

Clarification, Clarification we don't need no stinking clarification.

[Clintons Are White Trash]

Everything will be just fine, there is no reason to stare, just go on about your business.....

[A Citizen Reporter]

So let me get this straight, The PRESIDENT OF CBS NEWS, Andrew Heyward, has had PR put out all day that a statement would be released, at 12:30, at 2:30 at 4:00, and now what he releases is THIS?

This is no different that what Rather said last Friday night.

Look out for Wall Street, Andrew.

[RightWingConspirator]

Now we have to press them to identify "people in a position to know" and these can't include Terry McAwful, Teddy the Drunk, the Snakehead, Buggerla, Lyin Harkin or Slick Willie.

[Right Wing Professor]

This is the beginning of the retraction.
