Yup.
My real question, though, is this: This is such a clumsy forgery that it was sure to be discovered. Why was it done so clumsily? And for what reason?
I mean the signs of forgery were so obvious that it was spotted before the show was even over. If it hadn't have been Buckhead, I'd have spotted it too.
Now, I can understand a bunch of 20-somethings not spotting it, and that's who works in newsrooms. I can understand Rather not spotting it because he's so old he can't find his weenie when it's time to pee.
But....whoever made these memos up was smarter than that. On one line, they deliberately put a space between the number and the "th" so it wouldn't superscript in Word. On another, the let the superscript happen. They'd have seen that. They'd have known that, because they did something to avoid it earlier in the document.
Now, if I were going to make fake memos from 1972, I'd find some paper, an old office typewriter (not an electric) and type the damn thing out.
This is too obvious, and I'm worried. Why was an obvious forged document send to CBS, and by whom? I'm worried.
