I don't care of WashPost wants to take credit. Dan Blather needs to own up to the fact that he has used fraudulent documents to impune the President of the United States.
Let them lie and eat their own.
It defeats the argument that it came from a biased source and cannot be trusted.
Well, if they just actually THROW CBS under the bus, I'd take the diss.
The Powerline blog did the research, or at least that was my impression. I've been gone all week, so I'm trying to catch up with this story.
It doesn't bother me to see the MSM lining up against CBS and Dan Rather. I'm glad they agree the memos are bogus, even if they're willing to lie about who was first to prove it.
I will also echo the statement that I too don't care who pulls down CBS at this point and if it takes talking heads from one network to get the information in front of the public, then so be it. Eventually the truth will get out......if the coverup is not swept under the rug by CBS.
Wonder what the estimable Buckhead will have to say about this crock...
This may be an unpopular view, but I have to give the Post some credit for breaking this story. When the FReepers did the legwork on this story, there were some who said "why bother, the MSM will never cover it." I would have cast my vote that the MSM would NEVER cover it. Even considering that the Post wanted to slam a competitor, usually ideology trumps ALL---including competition, professionalism, personal animosity, etc.
Who cares.
I mean, I would say that organizations such as the Washington Post and ABC News actually brought in credible experts to verify, which is a little different than people on the internet pointing out irregularities.
What is important is that we are not alone in this fight, and Dan Rather and CBS News will not be able to stonewall this. If it was just us and bloggers taking them on, then the forgers would never be held to account.
So let the Washington Post claim the credit. All that matters is that this story is pursued to its ultimate end and a malicious hoax is not pulled on America.
The WaPost deserves some credit for putting this story on Page 1, interviewing Killian's son, and getting an expert to evaluate the documents.
This is GREAT news! Who cares who gets the credit?! We'll know who got the ball rolling.
Who cares who claims credit for it, the point is THEY'RE FAKE! and everybody knows it (except danny boy). it might just look more creditable to independents, etc if abc and the washington post say they uncovered it... In reality it makes me sick because that's NOT the truth but whatever they're just trying to make some money I guess.
