The fact that he is still working this.. is very curious.

It isn't curious.

It means the guy is either too biased himself to "believe himself" (to acknowledge, despite his own wishes and hopes) that they are fakes!) or that he won't be paid until CBS gets the answer they want from him ...

But,if it takes longer than 20 minutes for any "expert" to confirm these are faked documents, then the "expert" is not worth the ink and paper it takes to display his byline on CBS website.

"This place is a sausage grinder for the truth."

Well put. We have our theories and guesses and hopes and such, but you also see that the thirst for the real story is paramount. Those who cling to discredited hypotheses find no support here and usually do not stay around long.

This is one quality which distinguishes us from the Left. The unabashed leftist will readily admit that The Cause is the thing, and hewing to the truth is of secondary importance. As Conservatives, we trust that knowing the truth will enable us to safeguard our freedom.

Danron, I like that much better than Rathergate or Memogate. The latter are so 70s.

I appreciate your point. Sometimes you get caught up in something. I don't think he is worrying about getting paid. I don't know how speculating about him being a partisan helps either. From this interview it didn't seem like that.

To be sure, his reputation is damaged, but from the interview he didn't even seem to be in that territory.

I don't think we are all that much "better" then the dem's we are just used to being lied to. And hate it. I filter everything in the news for distortions and half truths because you like to know.. and its so stomped on. So when you get in a forum you want folks to just tell it like it is. So you don't get deceived by what ever is their BS agenda.

The mechanisms that helps create an environment of truth seeking are cool. Recognition of achievements (Bumps) and (pings) and culture that requests and requires sources rather than unsubstantiated opinions in an echo chamber.

Also, I think the last several scandals, and a press that is oh so willing to ram it in our tails, has taught us to just hang it out and not try to do the cover up thing.

The press being a big pain has taught us how to communicate because they wouldn't and they have taught us that the truth can be slowed but it cannot be stopped. Its the Dems who have become the victims of their lopsided coverage, allowing them to get so far out on a limb that just finally couldn't hold the weight.
