Is there a screen cap of Rather double-pumping Saddam's hands, with both hands, and that big grin?

That photo on the left is falsified.

Of course, it's incumbent on CBS to prove that.

This has got to be one of the dirtiest of campaign tricks of all time.

Dear Mr. Appelgate:

Given that CBS has not promptly and publicly retracted false testimony about the President of the United States, while our country is at war, and while our soldiers are in harm's way; it is apparent falsehoods included in CBS network news programs broadcast by your station, WOIO channel 19, are not in the public interest.

It is also my belief WOIO has partnered with CBS, and perhaps others, with an intent to propagandize and defraud the public. this is a betrayal of the public trust.

Therefore, the topic of Dan Rather’s falsified military documents, and a complete record of WOIO’s positive, corrective actions; must be considered when WOIO channel 19’s license is up for renewal.

Respectfully request a prompt reply and this letter’s inclusion within the station's public file.

Sincerely,
OneLoyalAmerican

"Now Rather is Nixon"

What was that old saying....absolute power corrupts absolutely.


Like, Nixon, Mr. Rather....you're time and damage to America, is OVER. I doubt if he will be as gracious as Nixon and just LEAVE.

It was done on a 1970's version of Photoshop (a pair of scissors and Elmer's glue).

What if: "I just heard from a reliable source at CBS that everybody in the meeting today admitted the documents are fake, but that they're buying some time while Ivan comes ashore. After a couple of days they'll use the excuse that they finally have confirmation that they're forgeries and admit it, but they still won't reveal the source cause the content is true."

What would it mean to the FCC and CBS' broadcast license if that could be proven, that they went on the air with a story tonight that they admitted was false beforehand?

> Watergate was a scandal Mr. Rather thoroughly enjoyed, since he built his career on ripping into Richard Nixon. Now Rather is Nixon, a bitter, vengeful man who allowed his friends to use dirty tricks against his political opponents and when caught, can only deny, deny, deny and bluster about the evil intentions of his enemies.

Perfect. Brent is great.

Yeah, he zinged him good, "...Dan Rather has been reckless, arrogant, and ideologically blind in his pursuit of Moby Bush..."

I have the same situation, but I wrote to my station anyway, and demanded they drop the CBS news updates. Every update at the top of the hour begins with a Bush smear.

Killian's son said again tonight that the secretary was really assigned to the unit, not just to Killian. And .. he reconfirmed to Hannity that she would not have had access to his dad's thoughts. Then .. he told Hannity that he and his dad had spoken several times about Bush and he never once detected any negative attitude from his dad about Bush.
