Fact is, there are a LOT of VERY serious issues that should be pushed HARD OTHER than the documets. The other issues expose HOW THE MEDIA WING OF THE DEMOCRAT PARTY ACTUALLY WORKS! CBS' "gold standard" included:
1. The widow and son were IGNORED
2. Document experts were IGNORED
3. Hodges was MISLED
4. The old secretary was NOT INTERVIEWED until afterward
5. Staudt, who had his character attacked in one memo, was never contacted
6. The opinions of the experts were MISREPRESENTED
7. The swift boat veterans were MALIGNED
8. George Bush's roomate DURING HIS GUARD YEARS, who AGREED TO SPEAK TO THEM WAS TURNED DOWN BECAUSE HE WAS TOO "PRO BUSH"...
And the list goes on. Fact is, this was a HIT PIECE ON BUSH. And just because dnCBS owns up to fake documents does NOT CLEAR THEIR PROPAGANDA / DNC REPORTING!!
You got it exactly. Considering that they willfully disregarded anyone who might have raised a red flag on their story, this was not (and was never intended to be) a real news story.
It was a calculated character assassination, timed to do maximum damage with just days before a presidential election with the intention of bringing down the President.
It's an all new low for newtwork news and could very well be the end of CBS news.
Is the list in your post (#45) your own? I just heard Rush go through your list almost verbatim.
Well Said!
Hi Woodb01 - I just heard Rush run thru your list!
