I got a tad curious about Mr. Heyward and found this over at OpenSecrets.org...

HEYWARD, ANDREW BEVERLY HILLS,CA 90210 DIC ENTERTAINMENT 10/12/2000 $1,000 Clinton, Hillary Rodham

Just something to keep in mind. (I could also post Sumner Redstone's recent donations, but that might chew up a lot of bandwidth posting all of those liberal and Democrat names!)

May I be the first to decry a pajama fatwa.

Decry or declare?

This is perhaps the dumbest mistake in all the history of modern journalism. Not even the Gray Lady can ignore this one, nor can the LA Slimes. They have to eat their own, lest they get hit by the public backlash. 54% believe the documents to be fakes? Bring that to 80% by the end of the week, unless Ivan REALLY beats up the Gulf coast. In that event, give it until Monday.

I have a feeling that a LOT of employees at CBS are updating and distributing their resumes right now, hoping that they can jump to a corporate PR position. SeeBS news is dead.

He said he'd like to walk away with what is left of his credibility and spare himself a congressional investigation.

Clearly CBS is listening the team of CBS lawyers. Their is no doubt in mind the lawyers are tellling them to say:

"We established to our satisfaction that the memos were accurate or we would not have put them on television."

The lawyers will never let them admit actual malice. In addition, the lawyers have told the to document additonal investigation before making any retraction.

*** Rememeber: Actual Malice is publishing a false statement knowingly or with a RECKLESS DISREGARD FOR THE TRUTH!! Is the any doubt that is what they have done?

Really now, accurate vs. authentic comes nowhere close to the classic "is".

They apparently don't think we learned how to parse along with the clinton Administration.

Wrong answer CBS. America has the right to know and congress has the duty to investigate.

Took them all day to get out the statement with "corroborating" misspelled. Jeesh!

Wonder what that cost them!

Probably only had about 20 suits sitting around the conference room. Guess their spell check is broken.

Rather note to self: Order that Olympia typewriter on Ebay.

The evening news is watched by those 55 and older. Their customer base is shrinking along with their influence.

Rather is such a windbag.

Journalistic Terrorism.

In Spain, Al Qaeda used a suicide bomber to impact an election.

In the USA, CBS used a suicide journalist named Dan Rather. Email your representatives and demand a congressional investigation.
CBS sponsors are accomplices to this crime.

"Look for David Letterman to be in the anchor chair in 10 minutes."

I can't wait to see if Letterman has some snide comment about the brouhaha on his show. That REALLY ought to liven up his talks with Les Moonves!! LOL

Just as I thought, too.

After all, I have deduced CBS has entered into a scheme with the DNC to perpetrate this fraud and I expected no less than them sticking by their story.

Congressional hearings.

If they do that though, they create someone with a strong desire to blab. Wonder how many CYA files have been created since all of this broke?

There was a time when forged documents meant a crime had taken place. After Clinton they're just suggestions of wrongdoing. No problem

As I understand it, forging a document is no longer "wrongdoing" so long as the information contained in them is "accurate".

From now on, if someone asks you for your driver's license, you can just hand them a napkin with your name and address handwritten on it. "But officer! The information is essentially the same as that contained on my actual driver's license!"

Anyone have any thoughts on why CBS has consistently the best programming prime-time ratings but the worst news ratings?

Dan Rather's Evening News has been in the toilet for something like 11 years now.
