Ohhh. CBS went to Burkett for the information.which means that CBS had a pre-concieved notion of what the they wanted to hear and see, and were looking for evidence to back it up. This, as opposed to reporting facts and letting people make up their own minds. Yellow Journalism at its best.

But to whom did he apologize? He didn't say he apologized to the President.
Note: they did not say the word forgery, nor that they were dropping this story, either.

"So the 'UNIMPEACHABLE SOURCE' was who Burkett 1st said the memos came from?"
So it would seem, but it's hard to buy that CBS didn't try to contact that person and confirm they had them first. CBS must reveal the identity of both persons that Burkett named.

I was wrong - Dan-o said the right things. He's still a raging liberal Bush-hater, but at least he said he was sorry and made mistakes. That's all I can expect. All hail BuckHead. Now, who's gonna win in November? I think the debates are the only hurdles left, and Bush looked pretty good last time. Let the games begin. Game on.

Thats just more of the misleading by CBS. If CBS goes to a mental institution and is handed papers by an insane patient. The patient then says that the papers came from the Pope. Would CBS then say that they trust the papers because they came from an unimpeachable source the Pope. No, the source was Burkett, even if Burkett said he got them from elsewhere. This is another lie by CBS claiming that their source was unimpeachable.

Rather said that CBS will be launching a full investigation. And the foxes will be launching an investigation into last week's raid of the henhouse.

No. Why?
I am I not supposed to post my thoughts or opinion?
To: All
Now this is real news a partisan Democrat caught lying...
To: GRRRRR
Burkette is a cut-out. He was puffed up to take the fall, but it isn't going to work. Rather has a bigger problem called dishonesty.
Watch and listen carefully to what these people are saying now. In 5-10 days this story will be beyond their control.
