Instead of eye for CBS logo, how about a cat scatching around in a litter box after doing its business?

So, let me get this straight: CBS is reporting on what other media sources are reporting about them?

How about just telling us what the %^& is going on???? Is that so hard????

Just think what sort of story CBS would do on another company or politician that acted like CBS has in the last few weeks.

I have trouble with the veracity of this story, considering the source, CBS.

According to The Washington Post, the network plans to say it was misled about the authenticity of the documents. The New York Times reports that CBS News officials met Sunday evening with anchor Dan Rather, the reporter of the contested story, to discuss the network's next steps.

Let me get this straight--CBS News is using the Washington Post and the New York Times as a SOURCE ABOUT ITSELF!???? ROFLMPO!!!!!!! (Rolling on Floor Laughing my Pajamas off!)

How much you wanna bet they will still be saying - "but the crux of the matter is that there are still unanswered questions about the President's National Guard service. Mr. President, answer these questions."

four memoranda attributed to one of Mr. Bush's Guard commanders, Lt. Col. Jerry Killian

There were SIX memos and CBS has admitted that in their longer missive to their affiliates (longer than the statement inssued to the general public).

They admit they chose to use only 4 of the 6. USA Today, who received the 6 memos independently, did post all 6 at their website.

CBS continues dealing with this in a deceitful manner---as they have every step of the way.

CBS, like all good far-left liberal organizations, continues to attempt to re-write reality. Let them keep trying. CBS has been flushed...and they think they can change that.

"C B/S Plans New Memos Statement"

No need.

Talk about withering on the vine.

This is good. An article on CBS.com about CBS which quotes the Washington Post about the goings on at CBS which no doubt owns CBS.com.

Anyone else think this is ironic (or downright silly).

I think it'd be interesting to compare a chronology of Rathergate and the BBC/Lord Hutton investigation earlier this year that led to the resignation of Greg Dyke.

This is what is probably going to happen. CBS says they were misled by, Burkett, they interview Burkett who says he misled CBS because he runs down the litany of offenses that Bush had made against him, once again Rather says Bush needs to answer the questions this time those raised by this poor looney old vet.

They, er, gonna run this 2 sentence document through a spell checker this time?

Last time that CBS tried this, their president couldn't get 20 words out with misspelling their "coratherbollating evidence" ...

Then again, that IS how CBS News spell-checks their typewritten evidence isn't it?
