Isikoff says Burkett sounded credible when he interviewed him in Jan

"...after extensive additional views, I no longer have the confidence in this photograph that would allow us to continue vouching for Robin's gender..."


"LOL, that's not a girl, that's Dan in drag, I knew there was something wrong with that boy."


IMHO, it looks like the photo could have been "borrowed" from a web site like: SEX-CHANGE.com. It appears to be a photo of the half-way point in a sex change operation.

....now if I could just decipher if it is a half-way photo of a boy-to-girl, or girl-to-boy operation......

Notice how O'Reilly stepped all Isikoff when he started talking about what he learned about Burkett during his interview with him.

How do we know this wasn't all planned, and they would apologize later if caught....just so they could ruin President Bush's reputations, because Kerry's Vietnam Vet time was a farce and that got proven.

Rather is going on Larry King and other Talk Shows so he can explain, explain what? That the memos are true but forged...WHERE IS PRESIDENT'BUSH'S APOLOGY...this is all so fake. This way Rather can keep stirring in this with the liberal media for another month, right up to election. This is so like CBS and Dan Rather, a phony apology to go with their forged memos.

To his credit, Izzy said story won't go away till we find out who created the forgeries and who gave them to Burkett.

Agreed. O'Reilly's hoping the story goes away - he adores Rather and is not objective when speaking of him. My point was that I think Isikoff was going to say something about Burkett, but O'Reilly interrupted as usual.

There's an online poll about whether Dan Rather should be fired:

http://www.nydailynews.com

It looks like the libs are voting in big numbers in the poll, since the majority is saying Rather should not be fired.

OK, gossip time - lucianne is running a header that says AP says "Lockhart admits to calling phony memo source Burkett at CBS producer Mary Mapes' behest three days before show aired
Details to come......"

Big time link to kerry himself if true...........

Courtesan David Gergen seconding Rabinowitz's statement: this has more to do with Rather's desire to break big stories than any bias against Bush. Yeah, right.

How the HECK do they know? And, more importantly, why should anyone take THEIR word for it? Let's get to the bottom of this and then we can all decide for ourselves!

Even when "confessing," CBS managed to be dishonest.

Particularly offensive was their high-handed attitude of victimization by that mean, terrible Burkett. They purported to have 5 years to get this story right, deliberately ignore players and evidence, and then have the temerity to whine and blame others.

CBS is a vile, disgusting, scheming bunch of liars.

You're probably right but the DU types really give far more credit to Rove than they should. They make him out to be an all-seeing and all-knowing being. He's probably more into GOTV campaigns and such things than planning dirty tricks campaigns. At least that's what I think. I could be wrong.

I'm not convinced that if the SBV's hadn't touched Kerry's Vietnam escapades that the Bush campaign would have. They seemed reluctant to touch that and Kerry's anti-war activities. His Senate career had a lot of meat for them to go after but the war-related stuff was too touchy to go after directly. They piggy-backed off the SBV's for that. Who would have foreseen the Swifties would have done so much damage to Kerry though? Their book is still #1 after so many weeks.

The numbers on that poll seemed to come out ok.
The one I linked to had "Should Dan Blather Resign?" result in 70% to 30% NO.

...it will now look to some that the media can't be trusted to report anything negative about Bush; that if they do say something negative, it's because they have a vendetta...

Admittedly taken out of context, but it couldn't be more true!
