There is no doubt the memos are genuine!
2) Anger (why is this happening to me?)
My critics are a bunch of partisan operatives!
3) Bargaining (I promise I'll be a better person if...)
Even if the memos are forged, their content is still genuine. I'll admit the memos are fakes if you will let me get on with the story, okay? <-- this is where we are today
4) Depression (I don't care anymore)
CBS won't issue any statements on the subject for a while.
5) Acceptance (I'm ready for whatever comes)
CBS considers that subject to be old news.
