I will always believe that Rather and CBS knew, or at least assumed, that the memos were fake. Rather and CBS decided to take the risk anyway because they confidently figured that they would get away with their journalistic fraud the same way they have always gotten away with it over the decades.

God only knows how many forged memos and unreliable witnesses CBS (and the rest of the liberal "mainstream media" for that matter) used over the years to support and embellish their hit pieces. I can barely contain my disgust at all of them.

Yep. They never expected anyone to question them.

Their contempt for their audience is incredible.

I'll bet a lot of those old hit pieces are going to get a new look.

Do you think it would work if Rather claimed he has just been diagnosed with Alzheimers?
