WASHINGTON, D.C. Matthew Sheffield of RatherBiased.com told the capacity audience the critical story of how “Rathergate” emerged as a scandal:
“The fall of Dan Rather began on September 8, 2004 with a posting on a forum at FreeRepublic.com - discussing the documents presented on CBS that allegedly showed that President Bush had evaded the draft, used influence to join the Texas Air National Guard, and later used that same influence to whitewash his record
”
Added Sheffield: “A virtual think-tank was born Forty-seven posts later, a person who called himself ‘Buckhead’ offered the proposition that he thought the documents were forgeries.”
