According to the CBS News web site, tonight's CBS Evening News will address the latest developments in Rathergate.
Let's pile on.
Can't be.
His attorney is contradicting Dan Rather's statement.
>> ... but at least he said he was sorry and made mistakes
Rather did not apologize to President Bush.
Brit just had the line of the night.
One of the panelists said "why did CBS go for documents to a guy who was well known as having a bone to pick?"
To which Brit replied: "could it be that there was a shared bone to pick?"
Dingdingding!
I just heard it on Dom Giordano's radio show. All I can say is BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA.
Not on in the west coast yet, I'm just following along thinking these are the Almighty Giants, The Titans of the MSM?
A 5 year old could conduct a better interview.
So if CBS can be believed, they approached Burkett. Why did they approach him? Who tipped them to Burkett?
They now say Burkett has a history of attempting to target Bush, where was that info previously?
They didn't pursue the 'original' source.
They didn't autheticate the memo's.
This whole interview is full of holes!
Do they really believe the public's sympathy will be with them after this interview?
DU is up and they are crying:
"Damn, they necklaced Rather
That was horribly sad. Watching him have to swallow the memos, without even the chance to defend their contents.
Was Burkett a Rove set up from the first, or was Burkett threatened with the full might of the BFEE? In any case, he turned on Rather like a rabid dog.
I'm going to go weep for a while."
And the illustrating fact that the DU'ers live in denile over bad news:
"The threads on this have been lame
could someone give a coherent recap please?"
BWAAHAHAHAHAHA!
AND CBS DIDN'T CHECK OUT THE FIRST NAME THAT BURKETT PROVIDED? Bravo Sierra.
"The puzzle pieces aren't quite fitting together yet."
No, they aren't. For instance, how did the DNC get out a commercial using the interview with Barnes so soon after the program aired?
Over at DU they say Burkett might be a Rove op!!

Bush’s National Guard years
Before you fall for Dems’ spin, here are the facts
Who is going to watch over the United Nations for possible corruption?
Priceless!
But first off, we have to get Rather to admit the documents were forged and faked. That's why he isn't apologizing to President Bush. He's standing by that part of the story.
We're not going to let this one go away.
sw
No kidding, it was a 'Level 5' report, it was! A good way to soften the audience.
No one on DirtyUnderpants.com can give a coherent anything...
Of course they do. ; )
Who is the "unimpeachable source"?
Who is "the name Burkett supposedly just threw out there to get the heat off for the moment?"
Are they the same person?
When did CBS give the DNC the memos for their Fortunate Son ad July 20?
This just leads to more questions than answers.....
Let's not forget those stalwart Dem supporters:the Boston Globe and USA Today. They got documents too.
Who gave them the documents. They should fess up.
Why would three major media outlets accept the word of Bill Burkette? Do you believe them.
True. But I can't remember any "journalist" ever apologizing to anyone for anything. All I'm saying is - this is as much as I can expect from the Dan-o-saur. And look, he's what, 72?, probably kind of set in his ways, and on his way out. Imho, this probably cut him bad to do any kind of apology (which is good). All about setting expectations for the liberal media. Baby steps.
