“I am posting this again on the 17th anniversary of CBS’s fraudulent “60 Minutes” broadcast. Freepers played an important role in this story.”
Wow, didn’t know that. For me, even though I knew that the news was biased and especially biased by omission. For example, how many here know what protest had the largest number of arrests since the anti-war protests of the Vietnam era and still to date (and no, nothing recent)? Hint, it was spiked, which is why no one here knows...but feel free to guess.
But when CBS didn’t immediately APOLOGIZE to Bush for running the fake story, it was clear that they now considered themselves to be ‘players’ and all remaining pretense of objectivity was gone. And its only gotten worse...now to the point that half of the country doesn’t believe a damn thing they say...and shouldn’t.
There ended up within a couple of days, some 60 lines of evidence that the letter was fake, including who the ‘informant’ was with which Kinkos he’d sent it from, and that it wasn’t even within the proper month for the physical (a much bigger deal than you might think).
