Too bad the reporter didn't reply "With respect: answer the questions."

I suppose it shouldn't surprise about Colombia trying to maintain the left and the old guard at the same time, but that kind of juggling will be harder and harder to maintain. especially while nipping at the Beefeaters.

take heart, Bill, after all, it's their job. you know, the one they're eventually gonna lose to the younger, faster, brighter stars like you.

- Wonder if they'er getting together to see if they can go on a treasure hunt to scare up some more Bush documents....

- While all this is going on is there any longer any possibility that CBS is not a lap dog for the DNC...

- The next bump in the road will develop as the RNC works in earnest to tie the documents to the Dem's....

- I'm beggining to lean toward the idea they were all in it together....There's been little evidence that anyone is mad at anyone else. But that could change....

Too bad the reporter didn't reply "With respect: answer the questions."

Oh, that's BRUTAL. Gawd, I would LOVE to see the expression on ol' Rather's face after that.

I am very annoyed that he hasn't been fired yet!

Checkout what I just found on the CBSnews 60 Minutes website:

http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2004/01/26/60minutes/main595875.shtml

A story about the world's greates fakes. This is to ironic to be funny!

I guess the fake memo's came from China! LOL

Well, reporters OUGHT to be trying to follow Rather around, major news outlets have no journalistic excuse not to send reporters to do it, he’s a central part of the story. I said that at Lucianne.com last night, & while I can’t flatter myself that I was read & obeyed, still, I say congratulations to FOXnews for having a reporter meet Rather at the airport. What the heck is wrong with the rest of the news organizations?

ForNow has a great point! Why is Rather not swimming in press like anyone else who perpetrated this kind of fraud would be?

Dan Rather has been such a prima donna for so long, IMHO he's lost touch of what really consitutes journalism. Everything is all about him and he can't really grasp that his "word" alone doesn't get others to shut-up.

Of course, I have my own Danny-boy story:

Doing a 60 minutes II story on CA's 3 strikes' law, Rather and entourage filmed a segment that might have amounted to all of 8-10 minutes on screen at my courthouse. You'd think we were being visited by a head of state...they cleared our floor of the public (we stayed in our office)... Dan had a full court room specially lit as his backdrop and later used a judges chambers to interview our DDA who had prosecuted the felon they were showcasing as a "victim" of the 3 strikes law. Our DDA was amused by Dan, who made his crew film his final statement to the camera over and over until HE felt he got it right (plus wardrobe, makeup and syphocants all around).

Hey, great site.

Drudge is reporting that CBS will air an interview with the alleged source. its not clear they mean burkett, but it is implied. and of course you can see in that video Rather is in dallas.

This should definitely be interesting.

This is kind of a tinfoil hat idea, but who's to say that Dan won't find himself an old IBM typewriter and whip up some new memos?

Sounds like another reason to watch Rather like a hawk, don't you think?

The interview with Burkett should be interesting...it should be more of CBS getting itself in deeper and deeper trouble.

Let's face it...Burkett is such a non-credible source that CBS did not want to use him in the first place...

Unless Burkett can produce a typewriter and reproduce on that typewriter exact copies of the memos, nothing he says will really amount to much.

All he can do is offer more of his hearsay accusations....I also wonder if CBS will properly acknowledge the facts about Burkett...his longstanding grudge against Bush, his ties to the Dems, the challenges to his credibility...but I won't hold my breath for CBS to do that...

- Agreed Blacknimus - my BS alarm is making noise's like foil being pulled off the roll...I can't shake this feeling that Rather is up to something...cooking up some "new" limp biscuit angle or excuse... His inflated ego seems to be spurring him on to ever greated hieghts of incredibly stupid evasions... Then that guy in Seattle CBS affiliate gets fired for simply saying what everyone in the Northern hemisphere already knows...Maybe feckless Dan knows where too many of the skeletons are burried for CBS to cut him loose....

I agree that we will all have to watch carefully to discern CBS's creative editing and presenation of the Burkett interview...it will be interesting to see them spin him as someone credible, just like they tried to trot out the typewriter repairman as a documents expert...

Kinda off subject here...

Has anyone read Bernard Goldberg's books, Bias or Arrogance?

I saw an interview this morning, and was wondering what he had to say in his books.

Are they good reads? Does he, credibly, lay out the case against CBS' bias?

Jmflynny

I have Bias. I should dig it out and refresh my memory on the details. It was a good, fast read. Goldberg is an excellent writer dealing with a touchy subject.
