Fineman and Zelnick were highly critical of Rather's arrogant declaration to "Prove Us Wrong". They said that is not a proper journalistic standard. Onus is on CBS to use authentic documents: originals. They both encouraged Rather and CBS to reconsider their untenable position. The criticism was significant, and it was from mainstream news personalities who were not wearing pajamas. This story has legs, even in the MSM. Rather will be doing some more backpedalling soon, I predict. It was quite refreshing to realize this isn't an issue simply on the internet.
