What is so bad about CBS and Dan Rather is that they were trying to change the outcome of the election with a lie.
They need to be charged for this. I think it is a crime.

Maybe Rather can use his wrinkled colleagues as character witnesses when he goes on trial.
To: YOUGOTIT
It is beyond my ability to believe that Dan Rather is unbiased. Can you imagine him running with clearly bogus anti-Kerry documents the way he ran with clearly bogus anti-Bush ones? No one who knows him or CBS could imagine that!

What did Mr. Rather know, and when did he know it?
What goes down comes around, right Dan?

inappropriate is what going on across the Internet, a kind of political jihad ... that is quite outrageous," the NBC anchor said at a panel on which all three men spoke.I guess the Internet is getting under old Tom's skin.
Comparing us to terrorists.
I wonder if he had his pajamas on when he said that!
They sure can dish it out, but can't take a little criticism.LOL

It is beyond my ability to believe that Dan Rather is unbiased. Can you imagine him running with clearly bogus anti-Kerry documents the way he ran with clearly bogus anti-Bush ones? No one who knows him or CBS could imagine that!He didn't bother to report the highly credible and documented Swift Vets, instead favoring obviously forged documents to get Bush.
Yes, insanely biased and obviously working hand in glove with Kamp Kerry.

Another excerpt:
Brokaw blasted what he called an attempt to "demonize" CBS and Rather on the Internet, where complaints about the report first surfaced. He said the criticism "goes well beyond any factual information."
"What I think is highly inappropriate is what going on across the Internet, a kind of political jihad ... that is quite outrageous," the NBC anchor said at a panel on which all three men spoke.
Rather declined to comment, saying news executives had asked him not to talk about the report while an investigation was under way.
Say it Tom: If an internet political jihad is underway, that makes us the pajamahadeen.

This rare, emergency convening of the MSM Central Committee Politburo, necessitated by Comrade Dan's ill-fated, attempted coup of the Great Satan's Commander-in-Chief during time of war (and during a democracy's elective cycle) is the perfect call to arms. Visit:
http://www.mediaresearch.org/archive/newscol/welcome.asp
and put the names of Rather, Brokaw and Jennings in the site search engine. Mr. Bozell has compiled voluminous documentation of the duplicity and tactics that these three (and the greater Agenda they serve) employ to defeat the enemy (if you are on FR reading this, that means you).

I think CBS has decided they might be able to skate this one. That folks are going to forget and move on.. as they say.
