NEW YORK - A New York City judge says he wants to see documents that passed between a law firm and a panel CBS hired to investigate a Dan Rather story on President Bush.

Judicial Hearing Officer Ira Gammerman told attorney David Versfelt on Wednesday to let him examine the papers so he can decide whether Rather's lawyers may see them.

Versfelt's law firm was hired to advise the panel. Versfelt says the papers are protected by attorney-client privilege.

But has the judge with this case ever asked to see the work of the Freepers and others who established that the Rather documents were frauds? Well? [Crickets.]

They’re still looking for Rather’s missing credibility.

I’m not sure of Gammerman’s political persuasion, though he lives in Manhattan so that is a giveaway- but he is one of the hardest working judges in NYC, and has been so for many years.

Hey judge, why don’t you do something productive and insist on being shown Obama’s birth certificate!

They can exonerate each other all they like......I won’t ever watch em again.

Ever.....

... I haven’t watched CBS, NBC or ABC since 98 when I got Direct TV dish. I lived just far enough from big city where an antenna got poor reception and just close enough where Sat TV company wouldn’t allow a sat link to local stations.

So I decided ....who cares. The programming sucked and I had the NFL /MLB package for my favorite games. If I wanted sedition slant on an issue I watched PBS, MSMBC or CNN or some of FOX shows.

MSM may get a portion of my Direct TV subscription fee yet ....I don’t “watch” CBS/NBC/ABC at all ...... nor do I support those that sponser such if at all possible !

I’d “”rather”” they rot on the vine !

Stay safe !!

CBS will always be “See B.S.” to me, with reporting on a par with Comedy Central.

Agree....... looking at all ways to keep our cash support from MSM and their sponsors that doesn’t report news anymore. Albeit not a fan of Shep the Shlep Smith on Fox I enjoyed their around the world in 80 second news and the NEWS hour albeit his version of humor added to that news.

I do not want to censor MSM I want it known to viewers that OPINION IS NOT THE FACT’s ! Too many elderly including my family were quoting so much BS that it took me days to fix what MSM spewed to them in (form of) opinion fear mongering to these people. Old folks who still TRUST these talking heads and can’t believe that someone on the TV would even be ALLOWED to lie to them !!!

To do such, quote out of contex, diversion of facts etc is nothing less than propaganda versus the news. I don’t educate with propaganda in my pro or con efforts to help people make smart decisions best for them and them.

MSM needs to overhaul their presentation or go the way of the newspaper ......

You think you got it bad? Listen, I’ve got people who get their political information from “The View” and NOWHERE else.

Beacuse they’re family, I resist the impulse to grab them by the neck and slowly squeeze the life from them.

“Somewhere in these papers, according to Dan Rather at least, is the smoking gun that proves McCain was not in the Navy during his five years of POW captivity...while Obama was a “Top Gun” in the Chicago Air National Guard...”

LOL! This will help give the Dems a leg-up when McCain saddles up his walker to shuffle out for another try in 2012.
