Who doesn’t like a good sci-fi movie ?

We should enjoy it like Max Cady did...

[Travis McGee]

This morning on MSM-TV, Rather called the question of the forgery a “small glitch.”

That little fire on the Hindenburg, another small glitch.

[Lawgvr1955]

What’s the frequency, Kenneth?

[ClearCase_guy]

I saw Redford interviewed. He also indicated that the forged documents were not important. The really important thing — you see — is Bush’s involvement in the Texas Air National Guard. That issue was “never resolved”, you know. Because everyone started focusing on these insignificant forged documents.

[Carry_Okie]

And so Rather and Mapes put this story on 60 Minutes, they ran with it, and it turned out the people at Power Line, the guys over at the Power Line blog totally exposed the documents as 100 percent forgeries.

It was first exposed here at FR, not at PowerLine.

Apparently Rush can't get his facts straight either.

They should have went to PRISON and CBS and All Affiliates should have LOST their License to Broadcast over the PUBLIC AIRWAVES. While simultaneously allowing ALL Affected employees to SUE CBS for losing their jobs as a result of this FRAUD.

[Kaslin]

Yeah and that "small" glitch got him fired

[JediJones]

Still the 2nd lowest moment in journalism this century next to Sarah Palin being "journolisted" during the Gabby Giffords story over "crosshairs."

[No One Special]

And for posterity here is the post by freeper Buckhead:

[Kaslin]

I know it was. Perhaps he is not aware of it

[Kaslin]

Who is Kenneth?

[fieldmarshaldj]

The little man that lives in Blather’s empty cranium.

[Cboldt]

-- Who is Kenneth? --

That's the mystery.

[Carry_Okie]

Thx, I didn't have time, but I did have this bookmarked.

[Menthops]

Given the GOPe legacy that George W. Bush left behind - Iraq mess, Afghanistan mess, 2008 financial meltdown, NCLB, sky high deficits, recession, TARP, it really takes away the importance of this journalism controversy.

If they knew then what was in store with W, I am not sure conservatives would have made such a big deal about the matter.

[DJ Taylor]

Here’s a “Dan Rather” post from September 2004 you’ll get a kick out of.

Powerline, HECK! FReepers were the first to detect those forgeries, and they did it practically the day they were released. I don’t remember of Powerline was the first blog to call them on it, but Rush should have given us credit as well.

[batterycommander]

I believe they missed the lesson on Kerning taught by Buckhead.
