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."

I just switched it on -- catching it now. They are so desperate to nail him on this old recycled story. They are all pathetic.

Quick turn on CBS, they are addressing the memos next.

I'll put on my Kreskin hat and predict they'll say something like:

"For ONE FULL WEEK now, the Bush campaign has been stonewalling the serious issues brought forth by these memos."

Sounds like they were just killing Juan!

A complete drubbing. But he's so stupid he won't give up. He's saying now that he believes the secretary. He obviously doesn't understand any of the arguments regarding the documents' credibility. All he knows is the party line about Bush's supposed lack of NG service, and that's all he keeps talking about. He's stupid and blinded by ideology.

C BS sounds like the Nazi elites after WWII denying that they were responsible for war crimes and terrible atrocities.

Good! They are Dinosaurs and their Ice Age started when GW was elected.

Good eye. "The content is accurate". I predicted on another thread that that SeeBS will claim that they transcribed the original documents on a word processor to protect their source.

They will claim they meant no harm when they used crumpled paper and ran the transcription through a copy machine twenty times to make it look old. The elaborate ruse was neccessary to protect their source, you see.

If their source turns out to be the Kerry Campaign, we will all know why they are stonewalling this to the bitter end. They want to stay out of jail.

We ought to demand that he give the real Killian memo equal time - the one where he praised GWB.

When somebody credibly challenges the authenticity of an ABC and/or NBC report is when this thing is really going to blow. They'll scream, "Look what you've started, CBS!"

Looks like CBiaS decided to continue the stonewall. It doesn't take a PHD in ClintonSpeak to parse this statement. The memos are "accurate". What they are saying is never mind that they are obvious forgeries...the memos say what we believe to be the truth.

Nevermind the undisputed GWB records which show his superiors thought highly of him. Nevermind repeated statements from Killian's son and widow saying he thought highly of GWB and would never have kept these kinds of records.

What CBiaS has done is dramatically alter what passes for evidence in a news story. Got a theory that GWB snorted cocaine in college? Just sit down and use MS Word to draft an alleged 1975 memo in the name of a Columbian drug lord who claims he supplied GWB with nothing but the best. When the memo is exposed as a fraud, simply claim you believe the memo is "accurate" and that GWB should answer the charges.

She started out with an Olympia and upgraded to a Selectric. But the important point is, Bush is an unelected sock puppet who went AWOL from the National Guard which isn't even a branch of the military, and then sent thousands of kids to die for a lie and to avenge his daddy and for Halliburton Halliburton Halliburton.

Sorry about that. My IBM Composer has a stuck "Halliburton" key.

To: applpie; All

after we call and e-m the affiliates, write VIACOM about our stocks in our 401ks, call and e-mail our congresspersons, call and e-mail CBS sponsors, write letters to newspaper editors, donate to the Swifties, and call the RNC to exhort them, there is one thing left we can do:

CALL YOUR CABLE COMPANY and ask them if there is a way to block CBS.

There is not one scintilla of doubt in my mind that the forgery came directly from the Kerry campaign and the DNC.

That's what this is all about, at its core.

The professional suicide of Dan Rather and CBS is just a bonus.
