Statement by the President of CBS News, Andrew Heyward:

"We established to our satisfaction that the memos were accurate or we would not have put them on television. There was a great deal of coroborating [sic] evidence from people in a position to know. Having said that, given all the questions about them, we believe we should redouble our efforts to answer those questions, so that's what we are doing."

Clinton would be proud of the parsing.

Heeeellllooooooo. This is a plot that involved the DNC/the Kerry Kamp/CBS. By definition Clinton is involved.

[longtermmemmory]

ahhh nuance

[doodad]

Quick turn on CBS, they are addressing the memos next. NOt the statement though it seems.

[Aquinasfan]

Krauthammer: "This can only end by them admitting that it's a fraud."

Juan: "The fonts were there..."

Brit: "Wait. You're a journalist. Is "could" good enough?"

Juan (deer in headlights look): "Yada yada yada."

Mort: "It looks like they've been had."

Brit: "Once a controversy arises, is it the network's obligation to report both sides, or only their side?"

Krauthammer: "Allegations are growing and exploding... It's disgraceful. They haven't admitted that there's any credibility to the argument on the other side."

Mort: "What they ought to be doing is... answer it."

Brit: "What does this do to the Democrats who have used this to say that 'Bush lied.'"

Juan: "Ben Barnes said he used his influence to..."

Brit: "That's old."

Krauthammer: "The news is that his daughter called him a liar."

Mort: "The net effect of this is that the attempt to hammer Bush on this has fallen apart."

BS. It's piling higher and deeper.....

[Excuse_My_Bellicosity]

we believe we should redouble our efforts to answer those questions

I have no doubt he's telling the truth. CBS has answered nothing in a satisfactory manner. I expect them to answer twice as much tomorrow (2x0=0).

Andrew "Bahgdad Bob" Heyward issues statement to the press:

"We established to our satisfaction that the memos were accurate or we would not have put them on television. There was a great deal of coroborating [sic] evidence from people in a position to know. Having said that, given all the questions about them, we believe we should redouble our efforts to answer those questions, so that's what we are doing."

BTW I have established to MY satisfaction that the picture of Andrew Heyward shown above is "accurate" or I would not have posted it here on Free Republic.

THE PAJAMAHADEEN!

Sounds good.

[UglyinLA]

Can't they even spell "corroborating" correctly? Did Marian Carr Knox write this? They must not have F7 keys on her Olympia

[nsc68]

accurate vs. authentic

Certainly in the best Clintonian tradition. According to CBS's doublespeak, the memos are accurate but not authentic.

[NavySEAL F-16]

LOL

Send it to kerryspot.com - you could become famous!

[EggsAckley]

Just before Limbaugh went off the air he commented on their stalling. But that was when the announcement was due at 3:30! Can't wait to hear him excoriate CBS tomorrow.

Cancel my rhumba lessons tomorrow; I'm listenin' to Rush!

LOL!!

[LifeTrek]

FYI GUYS 2 x 0 = 0

[VisualizeSmallerGovernment]

isnt 60 Minutes on again tonight?

They should replace it with a Ron Popeil infomercial. More useful information, more accurate content, and less brazen grandstanding.

[mewzilla]

This is it?! This is what it took the hot and juicy lawyers all day to cook up?!

CBS is SO SCREWED.

[Tribune7]

They're cooked.

[Chani]

bttt

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

Translation: Somehow, we "know better than you" about all this stuff, so shut up!

"There was a great deal of coroborating [sic] evidence from people in a position to know."

Translation: Pay no attention to the man behind the curtain, we know what we are doing and we are smarter than you, so shut up!

"Having said that, given all the questions about them, we believe we should redouble our efforts to answer those questions, so that's what we are doing."

Translation: If you pajama clad weasels get us in trouble, this "Rather" convoluted double-talk is our "get out of jail free" card, so shut up!

Lesson: There are more than just Hippopotami and Crocodiles up to their eyeballs in "de-nile" on this Wednesday evening.
