It's just a thought, but it might be best to send such a letter to the stations' counsel by snail-mail -- perhaps even by registered mail. Know what I mean?
...with cc to the appropriate station execs by first class mail.
The thing to do is two pronged. First everyone start emailing the local stations, radio and TV that carry CBS news and demand thay stop carrying them or they will stop listening to the station, second stop watching or listening to any CBS station for any reason.
Not only are the documents forged, but the important points made in them are clear fabrications. Specifically, the two important points, harped on endlessly by CBS and the other liberal media, are:
1. Bush disobeyed a direct order of his commanding officer. The memo states that Bush is ordered to appear for a physical on May 15. Bush did not do so, and the media concludes that Bush disobeyed the order, and so was insubordinate. There is only one problem: It did not happen. Other pilots point out that pilots were not ordered to appear for a physical. The deadline for the physical was established by Air Force rules, and was the pilot's birthday. The pilot was required by rule to appear for a physical every year on or before his birthday. Bush's birthday was July 6, so it would not have been appropriate to order him to appear for a physical on May 15. Of course, Bush never appeared for a July 6 physical either, but that's because he had already transferred out of the Texas Air National Guard by that time. The obvious conclusion is that the part of the memo which orders Bush to appear for a physical is a fabrication.
2. Bush's commanding officer was asked to sugar coat Bush's record and give him a rating even though Bush was absent. In the memos, Killian expresses consternation that he is being asked to rate Bush even though Bush was absent. The implication which is drawn by the media is that Bush's performance was substandard. The implication drawn by the Democrats is that Bush was AWOL. However, that aspect of the memos is also a clear fabrication. The reaons is that Killian had no reason to be consternated by Bush's absence because Killian himself had already signed an order (which is clearly authentic, and looks completely different from the forged orders), which authorized Bush to transfer out of the Texas Air National Guard to the Alabama National Guard. So why would he now be upset that Bush was not there? It makes no sense, and was obviously a fabrication by the forger.
Dan Rather's insistence that the orders may be fake but the information is trues is itself obviously a lie. This whole episode really is worse than Watergate. It's like Watergate with a complicit media. In Watergate, most of the people went to jail because they lied to investigators or to Congress. As in Watergate, I think we need an investigation by the DOJ and by Congress, though I would suggest that we wait until after the election to get it going in earnest. No sense in risking a liberal backlash at this point in time.
Outstanding! Just emailed and I'm now drafting on my letter head a hard copy to be certified mail today. Sent to KYW-TV in Philly. Now working on Wilmington DE.
Just mailed
Outstanding effort.
The letter was revised and faxed to Mr Jack Dempsey station manager of WJHL TV, the CBS affiliate in Johnson City TN with cc: FCC by mail.
No that's a terrible idea and changes the topic. The issue at hand is to get CBS to admit their henious error or their complicity in the matter then to force them to reveal their source(s).
Going after Dannyboy makes this a personal and a partisan matter that only muddies the waters. Exposure of the story and the truth in this matter will be more than enough to do a number on the stonewalling partisan (Rather).
But going after him directly only makes us look bad.
