It's not a HOAX, which is basically a prank.
It's not a FABRICATION, which is a fake document containing false and/or real information.
It is a FORGERY, no different from a forged check, a forged driver's license, or a forged government form. They are FORGED US government (TANG) documents, with FORGED signatures. FORGERY! Not inaccurate, not unauthenticated, not questionable.
Now Rather is turning the spotlight away from the FORGERIES to himself, much like Nixon, saying he is the target, not the FORGERIES.
Yes, NBC's Dateline. But it could have been CBS and I can provide witnesses who will testify that if NBC hadn't done it then CBS would have. And then there's some memos that should be ready for faxing in the morning. Blockbusters!
I like Rather as Nixon.
"I am not a fraud!" LOL.
