WASHINGTON — It was the first public allegation that CBS News used forged memos in its report questioning President Bush's National Guard service — a highly technical explanation posted within hours of airtime citing proportional spacing and font styles.
But it did not come from an expert in typography or typewriter history as some first thought. Instead, it was the work of Harry W. MacDougald, an Atlanta lawyer with strong ties to conservative Republican causes who helped draft the petition urging the Arkansas Supreme Court to disbar President Clinton after the Monica Lewinsky scandal, the Times has found.

"Freepers collectively possess more analytical horsepower than the entire news division at CBS,"
I'm new here but it doesn't take long to see how true that statement is. WTG Buckhead!!
They are leftists to the core...it's time that they are shown the door
For DemocRATS they're shilling shamelessly
It isn't too surprising...they're losing advertising
They are going down in flames, the poor L.A. TIMES
The gig is almost up for the L.A. TIMES
Let us bid a fond farewell to the L.A. TIMES
They are really out...out to lunch without a doubt
The gig is almost up for the L.A. TIMES
They had tried to stop FR...but they did not get very far
The FReepers grew...they're stronger every day
It isn't too surprising...they're losing advertising
They are going down in flames, the poor L.A. TIMES
The gig is almost up for the L.A. TIMES
Let us bid a fond farewell to the L.A. TIMES
They are really out...out to lunch without a doubt
The gig is almost up for the L.A. TIMES
Lessons they refuse to learn...it's for the truth their readers yearn
And now they can't give it away for free
It isn't too surprising...they're losing advertising
They are going down in flames, the poor L.A. TIMES
The gig is almost up for the L.A. TIMES
Let us bid a fond farewell to the L.A. TIMES
They are really out...out to lunch without a doubt
The gig is almost up for the L.A. TIMES
Oh, the poor L.A. TIMES...oh, the poor L.A. TIMES
The 2000 Election was the reason I joined.....I'd had enough......you could even say I was mad as Zell before Zell was even mad!
TankerKC was the first alerter.
Howlin, perhaps this would be a good time to have your "official history" of this incident posted as a separate thread (yet again, if it has not been a separate thread before). I have a copy of it readily handy if you don't.
FReepmail me if you like, and I'll get it to you. You can add other items then if you wish.
If you do this, it would be good to coordinate with the Sidebar Moderator to keep it atop one or two headings for ready reference this weekend. This looks like it could be hot topic now that the Old Media is really excited about giving us exposure.
Have the servers been compromised?
Ok, a few problems with that article. They mention Affirmative Action twice and fully define it. Why mention it twice and go through the trouble to define it. They are insinuating the race card when nothing could be further from the truth.
Secondly, they mention that the head of an organization that Buckhead gave a pittance $250 to is now a 'senior strategist' for the Bush campaign'. Following this logic, any of us who give money to the Bush campaign can be connected to the chairmen of the Bush campaign AFTER he leaves the Bush campaign!
I mean, I can understand them outing Buckhead and all, I mean, it is 'news' in a sense. But to then write it that way is ridiculous. You wonder why the LA times laid off all these people a few weeks ago and have plunging viewership..... geez.

Sorry but you sounded like Dan Rather there for a moment ;)
WOW!
Thanks a lot, Jim. All my best to you and yours!
I was just saying this thread needed a song.
We all know that every journalistic covering the elections are independents politically.
I have NOT read the previous 300 messages, but if Jim ever posted a picture in here and referenced a pic from his own machine by IP or better yet domain name they could have found out that way. But that assumes that he is running his own domain server and it's registered with ARIN under his own name.
>>Instead, it was the work of Harry W. MacDougald, an Atlanta lawyer with strong ties to conservative Republican
All the Dems took it for granted it was real stuff.
The problem with your theory is the only way they could get his ISP information would be from Jim since ISP information isn't posted anywhere.
I'm a mod on another board which is owned by my son. ISP's are logged but can only be seen by those with admin capacities. The only reason we need to have that information is in the event we need to ban by ISP someone who trolls excessively or posts certain banned pictures.
Nah the article really isn't that bad. I'm just concerned for Buckhead because of all the nutjobs at DU will see this article too.
