No, if Mapes or any of the usual leftist suspects were involved in this forgery attempt, it would have been a smear to try and portray Reagan as a pedophile, or homosexual, or some other garbage because the one thing the left loves to do more than even breathe oxygen, is to try and trash the good name and memory of the 40th and Greatest President of these United States.

Dan--It's a forgery but it's what he really meant.

I must not be reading this correctly. Where is CBS news involved in the forgery?

True, it is rather innocuous. If Mapes had done it it probably would have been written in a child-like scrawl saying "Gorby is good. I like him. He let me win the Cold War. I shouldn't have left the Democratic Party. CBS is my favorite network. The governor of Texas is a bad man."

"got a hold"?
This writer had to have grown up in the South.

a letter it believed was written and signed by the late President Ronald Reagan... was a forgery. That's hardly relevant. After all, it represents underlying true facts. The fact that the letter itself may not be genuine shouldn't impact the news value at all.

I think they are just reporting on the this as news. I do not see anything connecting them with the forgery.

You're new here, so perhaps you don't appreciate the hypocrisy of CBS News reporting on a forgery.

The credibility of CBS is on par with that of The National Enquirer.

I have more than a few issues with CBS news. But I have read the article several times now. It seems to be a fair report on a news worthy item. I don't see any evidence of attempting to sensationalize the report or slander President Reagan. I think it looks more like some people on FR were maybe looking for an opportunity to take a shot at CBS news. Thats fine. They deserve their abysmal reputation for bias. But I think we need to be careful to confine our criticisms to those cases where the criticism is justified. I have every confidence that CBS will continue to provide us with such legitimate grounds for attack. No need to get hypersensitive about everything they write.

Seems to me that you are the one being hypersensitive if you can't appreciate the irony of CBS News breaking a forgery story. The magnitude of their earlier crime is generally underappreciated if anything.
