I hate vanities, but I thought that today and last night deserved recognition for being the one year anniversary of TankerKC and Buckhead blowing the CBS ANG document story out of the water. As we all know, this ultimately led to the disgracing of Dan Rather and rapidly advanced the already slow-moving demise of the MSM as a monopoly.
TOPICS: Editorial; Miscellaneous; Your Opinion/Questions
KEYWORDS: anniversary; buckhead; bush; bush43; cbsnews; demlies; georgebush; georgewbush; mediabias; medialies; pajamahadeen; rathergate; tankerkc
I thought this was worth mentioning. To me, in my 15 months at FR, that was the only all-nighter I have pulled. It was like watching history happen before your eyes AND being on the inside of it.

It was all enough for me to sign up so I could post what I knew about Ben Barnes, causing alot of posts about his past bad behaviour.

Fake But Accurate is now CBS's trademark.

I have the dubious distinction of being a 9/11 baby.

...9/11 baby. Ouch. Sort of like having a loved one who dies on Christmas day.
