The CBS scandal gets worse every day. Now, in an amazing twist, Michael Isikoff of Newsweek was on Chris Matthews' MSNBC "Hardball" show on Wednesday night claiming that CBS had been planning to air a story about the White House using forged documents to make the case for war against Iraq. CBS postponed the story so it could go on the air attacking President Bush on the National Guard issue. It backfired when 60 Minutes itself got caught using forged documents. Still, Isikoff indicates that 60 Minutes is planning to air the anti-Bush piece, perhaps as early as Sunday night, September 26.
There is only one big problemthe anti-Bush story, as described by Isikoff and eagerly embraced by Democrat partisan Matthews, is completely false. It's as phony as those National Guard documents.
The Iraq-uranium link, the subject of much media misinformation, has been documented and confirmed by authoritative reports from Britain's Lord Butler, who had been a cabinet secretary under five different Prime Ministers, and the Senate Intelligence Committee.
In an article on the Newsweek website, Isikoff claims that 60 Minutes had originally planed to run a story about "how the U.S. government was snookered by forged documents purporting to show Iraqi efforts to purchase uranium from Niger." Isikoff says the story, narrated by CBS correspondent Ed Bradley, "asked tough questions about how the White House came to embrace the fraudulent documents and why administration officials chose to include a 16-word reference to the questionable uranium purchase in President Bush's 2003 State of the Union." Isikoff says 60 Minutes has been working on the story for more than six months.

Do you honestly think that CBS would do the same thing twice in just a matter of weeks?
Administration was snookered by forged documents? Gee, they must really be stupid.
Bring it on! These guys have already dug a six foot grave, I guess digging down another foot or so won't hurt.
Journalism schools across the nation are going to give CBS its own legacy as a required course in ethics for anyone wanting a diploma.
here we go again...
Here's another "interesting" article from AIM.ORG

There, I added a few more ;'}
Bring it on, Dan!
didnt the 9/11 committee side with Bush that Iraq "did in fact have or try to get yellow cake?"
Continuous Bull $#!+
Completely Breathtakingly Stupid
this smells like China ..... or KGB .... someone is at work here for a long time..... this is not behaving normally ...... i am now concerned we have a foreign government in the media and the Democratic party...
Don't assume that the next hit will come from CBS. There are plenty of other media outlets who want in on the action. My guess, though, is that after seeing what happened to CBS, they will tread more softly. What they will do is focus on strategies that are akin to handing a noose to Bush, and hoping he hangs himself. For example, they might pressure him to give an answer to the question of whether he will resurrect the draft. If he hints that he might, then it's not their doing--it's his mistake.
the forged documents are actually just old "MadLibs" with Bush name written where it says (person's name)
Actually, I think the backlash would be huge if they did this... I both hope they do and don't.
I'm sick of the slime and sleaze coming out of CBS and the MSM,,,and yet
They still seem to live in a bubble and just do not get it.
"Mr. Redstone, tear down this wall!"
Just damn.
If you want on the list, FReepmail me. This IS a high-volume PING list...
I don't know if it is chutzpah or abject stupidity (or both) for CBS, under the current circumstance, to air a story about ANYONE getting snookered by forged documents. But, then again, irony is lost on today's liberals.
"Mr. President ... I smell a big, fat Commie rat."
