BREAKING FROM HANNITY: CBS Producer in Dallas source of Documents

Were CBS Docs a Hoax?

I was alerted to this on another thread, but follow this link. Apparently these docs were being discussed on a news group back in January. May have been purchased from a web site. Is this all a hoax gone wrong?

The echoes of the big Internet bang which annihilated a 60 Minutes story in under 12 hours are still resounding. The key riffs apparently started at Powerline and as Samizdata notes, the distributed intelligence of the Internet took over.

The Blogoshpere Never Sleeps

Under the scrutiny of thousands of analysts, the CBS story began to melt down.

Man named in Bush memo left Guard before document was written

This is becoming the worst 48HRs of 60MINUTESIIs history.That's because we have 20/20 hindsight!

The post that sunk CBS's ship

CBS' bomb turns blooper When one recognizes the opportunity for the White House to employ the full range of 'Net options -- chats, blogs, message boards, posted video on the White House web site, and so forth -- to get their unfiltered message out, it becomes very clear the MSM as we know it is facing obscolescence. The early stages have already arrived.

'KEY CHALLENGES TO NATIONAL GUARD DOCUMENTS ANSWERED'
Goes on to cite the full CBS transcript. We've got to get it out there that this answers nothing, that the superscripts available in 1973 did not match the superscripts seen in the "memos"; that Matley's expertise is as a handwriting analyst and he has no place analyzing the documents from a typing/font perspective, and so on... We made the truth come to light here with this story, now let's not let CBS and Rather cover it up!

Can they really get away with this??

History establishes that yes, they can get away with it. They've done so many times. The real question is "Can they STILL get away with this?"

CBS News FReeped <--- (actual headline)

Rush is reporting that the fake docs came from the DNC and Kerry campaign (live thread) "This place continually amazes me. You could ask a question on any topic, from medieval history to classical music to nuclear physics, and there will be be (at least) several articulate answers."
True, but there will also be several posts saying, "This is series," or "This is Hugh," or "All your [fill in the blank] belong to us." Kerry: "All Your Forgery Are Belong To Us"

CBS falls for Kerry campaign's fake memo [Mark Steyn]

After the 2002 election, I wrote, ''Remind me never to complain about 'liberal media bias' again. Right now, liberal media bias is conspiring to assist the Democrats to sleepwalk over the cliff.''

The media and the Democrats sustain each other's make-believe land. Dan Rather tells his staff, ''Kerry's told me there's nothing to this Swiftvet thing.'' Kerry tells his, ''Rather's assured me this Swiftvet story's going nowhere.''

RATHER 'FORGES' AHEAD Mary Mapes, Rather's 60 Minutes producer, broke the Abu Grabib prison story.... I would like to know more about Mary Mapes. That CBS guy sure made a point of what a dedicated, honest producer she is, and how she vets everything multiple times.

Rather Flawed - New evidence emerges of media incompetence.

[The Dan's Documents fiasco is similar to Kerry's Khristmas in Kambodia fiasco--no matter which way they try to wiggle out of one lie, it shows up another lie.]

HODGES SAID HE WAS MISLED BY CBS

CBS, Rather stand firm on Bush story as furor swells

Last night, my wife and I had dinner with some friends, one of whom, is a "hate Bush" liberal. I told her about the fake memos, and she became very defensive, even though it was the first time that she heard about the scandal.

"They're totally faked," I said.

"No, they're not."

I presented some of the evidence that people have gathered and posted on this site. She still insisted that the memos were real, even in the face of overwhelming evidence to the contrary. The bottom line was that she hates Bush with a white-hot passion, and her hatred therefore makes the memos genuine.

Mmmkay. Needless to say, it was an interesting and illuminating conversation.

The misdirected heat & passion are astounding...

Fear and Loathing in Manhattan - What motivates the Angry Left? Revenge I have to disagree. It's about their fear of seeing more of their liberal agenda dismantled. They want someone who will put nuts in the Supreme Court, supports things like the Kyoto Treaty, not tamper with abortion, supports homosexuality, supports gun restrictions, supports higher taxes, supports the UN, and so on.
That's why they're always calling the President "dangerous".

Buckle Your Seatbelts The Ride Is About To Get Rough The Anti-American liberals are out to destroy President Bush and his family at ALL COSTS. I know this will just cause people to see how desperate the libs have become, but it also brings out more hate the left... the lefties are already planning on inpeachment after the election. They will stop at nothing and they want to destroy our country.

Kerry Supporters: "Laura Bush was Drug Dealer, George W. Bush was Cokehead" Neither W nor Laura are making their college years a focus of the campaign.

On the other hand, Kerry has made Vietnam a centerpiece of his. Enough said.

Doesn't measure up to back-stabbing the military with falsehoods in front of Congress...

So this is Kerry's new "take-the-gloves-off" strategy? I believe we are seeing "meltdown" here, big time.

Madness, thy name is Democrats

Bush's Greatness: There's a good reason he infuriates the reactionary left. I have a great deal of respect for Dr. Gelernter. He understands terrorism and terrorists first hand, because he has had a front row seat. For those who may not know, he lost both hands to one of the Unabomber's letter bombs.

Reference bump.

I've told you before but I'll tell you again...you are amazing! Thanks for your hard work.

Thank you both- there should be more added shortly.

So now we have the following discrepancies in the CBS documents (nice summary)

The New Media Manifesto

Now, with the internet, it was only a couple of hours before their assertions were being blown out of the water.

I agree, the internet has really arrived and changed the press and politics for the better. After I watched the the hack jobs the networks did on Goldwater and Reagan, it's a hopeful sign that a lie born in an agenda can be caught so quick, and be more embarrassing to the reporter than the target. Times are a changing, indeed.

Bush memos trail... DNC to Kerry Campaign to CBS/Dan Rather This is Watergate all over again, with forgers instead of burglars.

Agreed: CBS, Rather, Kerry and the DNC engaged in a deception: NOW WHAT ARE WE GONNA DO ABOUT IT?

We do abslutely nothing whatsoever except keep it on the front burner. The longer Rather has to keep talking about this the longer we have Veterans issues right out there. Everyone has figured out these docs are forgeries, but we love hearing old danny boy deny it.

Matley and the Vince Foster Suicide Note

Matley authors "the Expert Ambush"

MATLEY CONFIRMS DOCUMENTS WERE COPIES

It would also seem the old media's new standard includes to disparage all internet obtained information.

CBS, like the DNC, is fighting for nothing less than survival.
