Here's the bombshell: it was CBS that broadcast the original Nixonian "White House memo" that was supposed to detail each step of the Ellsberg burglary (he was the leaker of the Pentagon Papers, what "Watergate" was all about in the first place). That memo, on White House letterhead, told the Plumbers everything from when to hit the shrink's office to which filing cabinet to search.

Now lets just pause for a moment and ask ourselves, Who among us today (knowing what we now know about CBS broadcasting forged Bush National Guard memos) would believe that President Nixon told his secretary to type up, on official White House letterhead, a memo detailing how his Plumbers should burglarize that office to obtain Ellsberg's psychiatrist's records?!

Today, after CBS has been busted with forged Bush National Guard memos, that old "White House memo" purportedly from Nixon himself just doesn't pass the smell test.

Who was the star reporter for CBS covering that White House scandal at the time? Dan Rather.

CBS, did you forge Watergate, too?

It amazes me that Rather will escape with no pain.

However, I believe his reputation is forever tarnished over this.

This half-assed whitewash is only going to worsen CBS' credibility hemorrhage.

FINALLY .. someone is really addressing this CBS Report and asking the real questions that many in the media/press have failed to do so far

Boy, my brain cells are getting a workout this morning! I am having enouh rouble recalling all the facts of the Berger file-stealing incident, and now you are reminding me of the Pentagon papers!

[The Spirit Of Allegiance]

We're told in the Bible that someday all our sins will be made public. Oh, but if we couldn't see all of Dan's--and Hillary's--and Bill's--and the whole DNC's NOW!

[Miss Marple]

I also am having trouble typing. Sorry for the errors!

Ya know ... considering Dan's history on reporting .. I wouldn't rule that out .. anything is possible with Dan The News Man

[The Spirit Of Allegiance]

I just posted an Op-Ed/vanity--pass it on if you know anyone who might find it of interest....

Clear evidence of bias. Fair and balanced journalism went out the window. The law of the harvest lesson is unfolding before our eyes. The boomerang of life has landed.

Too bad major corporate sponsors are not pulling or downsizing their advertising on CBS in protest.

Perhaps it's because too many of them are riddled with amoral CEOs such as those heading up CBS.

Birds of a feather........

"FINALLY .. someone is really addressing this CBS Report and asking the real questions that many in the media/press have failed to do so far."

This is good work by FrontPageMagazine and AIM. I'm wondering when someone in the conservative media is going to fully address ExitPollGate, which appears to be just as serious as Rathergate. In Rathergate, CBS News personnel apparently tried to rig a presidential election through a phony story using forged documents. In ExitPollGate, an exit polling firm (probably in collusion with others in the MSM and/or the DNC) apparently tried to rig the presidential election with phony exit poll data designed to suppress the turnout of Bush supporters. Are the conspirators in ExitPollGate going to get off with no punishment whatsover? I certainly hope not.

You're assuming that he had one.
