I am probably overly sensitive. Especially since Dan et. al. fought to the bitter end. Even though it was obvious that the documents were fakes.
I could understand the wording, if this report had been written prior to the findings.
However, since it was written after the investigation, I would expect the wording to be a bit more humble...with a tone of "the bloggers were right."
Right wing, left wing, middle of the road -- right is right and wrong is wrong. The implication is that if this story wasn't on our agenda, we conservatives wouldn't have cared.
Its a "right wing conspiracy" all over again.
Good points. re Dan fighting "until the bitter end," you may be amused to note that the Panel records that Dan Rather's CURRENT point of view is that the story may be right -- that he went on air and said it was wrong at the behest of CBS management.
The panel indicates that they find this statement by Dan Rather "troubling."
The guy is quite possibly insane.
