Free Republic

After hearing of CBS's denial of any wrong-doing, and their arrogance in stating that they do not feel the need for any kind of internal investigation, we must ratchet up the pressure on CBS to come clean. Since FreeRepublic has been in the news of late, in the role some of you played in unearthing this story (read: performing the due diligence that CBS should have been doing as journalists), perhaps we can use our new-found weight in stoking the fires a bit by drawing attention to CBS's second gaffe of the week--failure to acknowledge any shortcoming/wrong doing on their...

I posted the following in a thread about Michael Moore: "He [Kerry] said of Bush, "All hat no cattle." Well it could equally be said of him, "All medal, no chest."
