Blogger Who Faulted CBS Documents Is Conservative Activist (L.A Times RATS out Buckhead!)
L.A Times ^

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.

I wrote to the paper's readers rep about their horrendous coverage, particularly why they revealed Buckhead's name, and I got this extremely snotty note in response:

The Dan Rather and CBS story has been on the front page for several days, and stories have run about CBS and Rather's role in controversy almost every day since the story broke. In contrast, one article was published inside about the person first credited with raising legitimate questions about the memos. That doesn't seem to me to be shifting the story from Rather or CBS, but I'll let editors know that you don't believe there should have been any coverage or curiosity about that person at all, if I am understanding you correctly.

I'm curious, though, if you have time to let me know: What specific parts of the article that ran made you think that the reporter was "insinuating" that "there's something suspicious" about the man? I'd like to pass that word along to the editors as well.

Looking back,

"C'mon Dan! Keep lying! Keep stonewalling! Keep it up, right up until the time of the November election when your boy Kerry loses in a humiliating defeat and your news ratings are on par with MSNBC. Then you can retire and write that tell-all book with Baghdad Bob."

All that's left is the book deal. LOL!
