That's pretty funny, considering that you weren't even HERE on FR when the Dan Rather story was refuted by our own FReeper Buckhead.

That's pretty lame considering nobody had to be a FReeper back when the Rather story broke to know that it was a fabricated lie.........

The fact that so many here buy Politico's lie lock stock and barrel

Why take exception to THAT statement when it's absolutely true............

Point taken and I stand corrected, FReeper Ifinnegan has informed me that such is not the case and has been a long time lurker.

Regardless of that, publications (paper or web) promote all sorts of stories and many times in the past we have seen news items from websites both on the left and on the right that have been accurate. Politico has been cited many times here on FR without this sort of blatant untruth. If it turns out their story is a total fabrication, whatever credibility they have will be filed away with the objectivity (har har) of the CNBC debate moderators.
