Declaring he “absolutely” believes “the truth” of his discredited story based on forged memos, about President Bush's National Guard record, on Wednesday's Larry King Live on CNN Dan Rather contended that “we had a lot, a lot of corroboration, of what we broadcast about President Bush's military record. It wasn't just the documents.” Rather then attacked those who dared to expose his misdeeds: “It's a very old technique used, that when those who don't like what you're reporting believe it can be hurtful, then they look for the weakest spot and attack it, which is fair enough. It's a diversionary technique."

Dan Rather was diagnosed with schizophrenia. It's true! He suffers from hallucinations and delusions.
And I don't care if my sources don't pan out---it's TRUE dammit. Any suggestion to the contrary is merely a diversion.

“It's a very old technique used, that when those who don't like what you're reporting believe it can be hurtful, then they look for the weakest spot and attack it, which is fair enough. It's a diversionary technique."I guess a forged document could be considered a 'weak spot.' It was sort of unsporting of us to point it out, don't you think.
Of course, when you have a strong story--that is one with evidence supporting it--you usually don't have to forge additional evidence.
Silly people think that when you forge evidence, it means that the rest of your case is crap.

Oh? I was under the impression that the favored tactic, as displayed by the MSM, was to simply dismiss the accusations and accusers out of hand with disdain, as the MSM attempted to do with the Swift Boat Vets, to some degree of success.
Luckily for America, and the world, that tactic no longer is as "potent" as it was prior to the Internet, IMO.

“It's a very old technique used, that when those who don't like what you're reporting believe it can be hurtful, then they look for the weakest spot and attack it, which is fair enough. It's a diversionary technique." Coming to terms with your MSM long time modus operandi there, Dan?
To: Howlin
CBS doesn't agree...they wanted NO part of him. They said if he loses it again on air, he could sink the whole network. LOL... that's what the suits in NY were saying just before he left...
