I wish I'd been around Friday night to see it, but National Review's Jim Geraghty gives Dan Rather's performance that night a solid fisking which is well worth your time. I'll post more on this entire issue later, but I wanted to point out this part of Rather's introduction. Today on the Internet and elsewhere, […]
I've returned from a refreshing weekend with friends up at Hume Lake Christian Camps in the beautiful Sequoia National Forest. I must admit I was a little anxious to be without Internet access as CBS news was imploding. (I'll have more on that later.) Instead I had to get my news fix the old fashioned […]
First off: LA traffic stinks -- even when I'm not driving. It's nice to be able to read up on what the latest is on the fake Killian documents fallout. The guys over at Powerline (link on left) are all over the story for a second straight day. Apparently Dan Rather went on CNN earlier […]
I'm heading off to the Sequoia National Forest and will be incommunicado for the next several days (unless Sprint has hidden a cell tower somewhere). In the meantime, feel free to hit the tip jars on the left or visit my advertisers.
ABC's "Nightline" piece on the forged documents was less than impressive. The New York Times piece on the story is adequate. Dr. Philip Bouffard, who was also interviewed over at the INDC Journal (link below), is quoted by the Times, but his assessment that there is at least a 90 percent probability that the documents […]
One of the commentors over at Little Green Footballs had an interesting take on the document story vis a vis the Kerry campaign. After all, as the New York Times coverage of the "web of connections" between the Swift Boat Vets demonstrates, anything bad that happens to one campaign is without question orchestrated by the […]
The blogosphere, with the help of several experts, have determined that CBS News' Killian documents are not the product of a 1970s era typewriter. Using my extensive journalistic contacts, I've confirmed what many know: the documents were created using Microsoft Word. But that's not all of the story. I have been provided with one of […]
While there's been plenty of talk on the Hugh Hewitt show and postings around the blogosphere about CBS's fraudulent documents, there hasn't been much discussion about what CBS must do aside from running a correction. Yes, a correction should be forthcoming -- a prominent one -- and sooner rather than later. But that alone is […]
I, once again, would like to be the first to question the timing of the discovery of the fraudulent nature of the documents mentioned below. I believe the timing is designed to draw attention away from the contents of the memos which clearly show that President Bush is a bad person. On a related note: […]
If today's faked documents weren't bad enough, the Democrats have sent out Vietnam era veteran Sen. Tom Harkin to attack President Bush, again. Yes, that's the same Tom Harkin who repeatedly lied years ago about serving in Vietnam, when it turns out he was based in Japan and if he was ever in Vietnam it […]
