This was a planned character assassination from the get-go.

Sure seems that way. Burkett can't really be patsy or fall guy. That doesn't explain Rather and CBS. There is no way they could have been conned on this. I don't buy the argument that they so wanted the memos to be real they let it blind them. Too much information that would discredit the memos was readily available to CBS.

I completely agree. My position has been that those at CBS (obviously more than just Rather) are willing collaborators.

The most incriminating fact is that there was no one interviewed, who would have refuted those memos and the very accusations behind them. Can anyone really believe that, if Danny Boy had done a story on Juanita Broaddrick, he would have excluded anyone who would have refuted the charges? It is amazing to me how bloggers, so sneeringly looked down upon by the MSM, can present us with the entire story better than a decades old network and its centuries old prima donna "newscaster."

Dan Blather and everyone associated with that biased hit piece should be fired.
