After that Rather report that night, I was just upset. I knew it had to be a smear job, a fake. I logged on to FR immediately that night to get some reassurance and some other people's thoughts.
My suspicion was, as discussion of the memo progressed on FR, not a purely technical one. My thought was that no male, living or ever having lived, would have taken all the trouble to count spaces and perfectly center the heading of that memo like the computer/word processors automatically do now. I posted that observation, and I think it was on that particular thread, but it could have been on one of the threads where the same guys were discussing the intricacies of the memo. I do remember Buckhead, Howlin and the bunch were on the same thread, but I can't find my post.
I'm just glad the MSM guys are busted big time. It's way past time. They've been misleading the American people for a very long time, but now they're having to deal with the knowledge that the people aren't quite as stupid as they've been thinking all along. Even their masters of spin and manipulation, like Rather and Koppel, are weighed in the balance and found wanting.
The "investigation thread," started after my post, is here: http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1210702/posts
Later on, Howlin compiled a thread for more or less historical purposes that tracked the multiple threads on the subject, and which shows that there were many, many posts questioning the documents before my post. It can be found here: http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1220090/posts
