Question
Posted by Bill About this: Rather Concedes Papers Are Suspect CBS anchor Dan Rather acknowledged for the first time yesterday that there are serious questions about the authenticity of the documents he used to question President Bush's National Guard record last week on "60 Minutes." By Dan's own logic, doesn't this now make him a right-wing operative? UPDATE: A little Looney Toons satire from Iowahawk: NEW YORK - Veteran anchorman Dan Rather implicated White House Political Director Karl Rove as "the mastermind behind the so-called Acme Group" after his rocket-powered roller skates exploded during a Wednesday CBS Evening News investigative report. Rather had donned the controversial Acme skates -- along with an Acme brand Bat-Man suit -- in a complicated sting operation to reveal what he termed a "deep conspiracy between the White House and internet partisans to cover up George Bush's shameful military records."

He implies that Rather's alleged history of left-wing bias is what has roused the ire of the blogosphere. I hadn't watched CBS News in years, and didn't think ill of Dan before this -- I didn't think of him at all. Posted by: Andrew at September 16, 2004 11:57 AM I think a lot of people are missing the point about the fact that the document originated at Kinko's. All it proves is that a document was FAXED from kinko's, not written there. You can scan or copy the original, then either fax the digitized, scanned copy or run it mechanically through a fax machine. The origin of the document may be still in dispute, but being sent from kinko's doesnt discredit it. Do you think the source would have handed over the original copy! That may also explain why some of the experts' including that of Mr. Bouffard's, may not have definitively ruled out the IBM Selectric Composer, available at that time and, according to Bouffard, capable of creating the document in question. Posted by: ed at September 16, 2004 08:52 PM Um, ed, no one is suggesting that Kinkos has anything to do with the documents veracity. it's only useful in tracking down who sent it.
