"What's the frequency of your lies, Danny?"
Kinda of wet, gooey, and smells way to much for dust.
While Rather might be the captain of this misbegotten adventure, there's no way he is SOLELY responsible. A lot of other people had to swallow their integrity and go along with it. Somebody has to crack.
Your fame grows!
absolute zero
When the base of the statue of CBS is being chipped away, by hammer and chisel, and eventually falls to the ground, does anybody hear it?
All your bias are belong to us now
1) Why has the White House not challenged either the authenticity of the documents, or the truth of the events described therein?
2) Are you certain that the documents were typed by Killian himself? Are you certain the documents were not typed by a Killian aide who may still be alive, and is Rather's source?
3) Do you realize that IBM Selectrics, purchased on government research grants, were in widespread use in universities of that time period?
4) Do you realize that it was a commonplace for typists who did not have custom features on their typewriters to manually adjust the line spacing, and sometimes the font, to insert subscripts and superscripts in mathematical and chemical texts?
5) Do you realize that variations in the heights of superscripts (and depths of subscripts) were commonly seen within single documents typed in that time period because typists had variable skill in making manual adjustments to line spacing?
These queries are not posed with adversarial intent, but simply to raise issues that do not seem to have received much attention to date.
I get it!!
From what Rather tells us about this high-tech equipment, it's becoming increasingly clear that Bush's National Guard Unit was really a CIA outpost. [/sarcasm]
Seriously, MSM has news scripts for the next few months on these two gangsters. We of the New Media have volumes of detail on both that they can't answer. Both are cornered like Nixon. Gotcha!
Sit back and enjoy the show. I, for one, will never miss CBS Evening News again. Dan the News Man is OUR talking head. We own him.
Now that that's settled...let's move on.
Who DID the forgeries?
Who passed them on to CBS
This is what I really want to know.
I think CBS will be allowed to stonewall until it is forgotten. I won't forget but many will not care.
The only way to move this story now is for the Killians to sue. I think even the threat of a lawsuit would bring CBS management to their knees.
Calling Ben Ginsburg!
Even the OJ jury would convict these frauds.
Nice summary reference bump
Rather going to be sucking wind when he finally has to admit they are forgeries. It won't be any new evidence he suddenly comes across, it will just be him trying to make the case he hasn't been stonewalling it.
If CBS is smart, and we have reason to believe that there are many people within the network who are, it will fire Rather before the bottom falls out any further.
Smart isn't the issue. Their integrity's been overshadowed by their partisanship. Rather fired? No--he'll retire or move up somewhere in CBS. He was pleasing his employer as much as he was vindicating his own antiBushism.
I have already started calling him Richard Milhous Rather.
Remember he's not speaking to an objective audience. The Democratic faithful want to believe. If CBS is smart, and we have reason to believe that there are many people within the network who are,
Sorry the objective evidence is that CBS is not smart, just fiercely partisan to the left
it will fire Rather before the bottom falls out any further. The CBS Evening News has consistently been the lowest-rated nightly news program on broadcast for nearly 15 years now. After Memogate, we have no doubt the ratings will fall even further with Rather at the helm
None of this matters. CBS "news" is not about news it is about presenting statist propaganda. As long as they don't actually go bankrupt they will continue to present their warped viewpoint of everything American. Blather and CBS news are everything that Joeseph Goebbels wanted to be.
