i don't think they really had credibility with the general public, what they lost was credibility with fellow journalists/competition

With Apologies to Randy Newman

Pajama People

Pajama People got no reason
Pajama People got no reason
Pajama People got no reason
To live

They got little stubby fingers - little blurry eyes
They protest all day - postin' great big lies

They got snotty noses and coffee-stained teeth
They wear week-old underwear on their nasty little seat.

Well, I don't want no Pajama People
Don't want no Pajama People
Don't want no Pajama People `Round here

Pajama People are not the same as you and I (A Fool Such As I)
Good folk are liberals 'til the day they die (It's A Wonderful World)

Pajama People got nobody
Pajama People got nobody
Pajama People got nobody
To love

They got little beady eyes - and a furrowed brow
You gotta cuff their ears - just to say hello

They got little protest horns
That go beep, beep, beep

They're always saying
"Cheney's our veep, veep, veep!"

They got nasty little toes
hangin' from jammys below
We gotta make sure - it's their time to go.

Well, I don't want no Pajama People
Don't want no Pajama People
Don't want no Pajama People
'Round here

Ya know, this is becoming a fascinating story. Although this is far from a seminal idea (it has been expressed by many others a lot sharper/brighter than I), what makes this story so interesting is less the facts of it than the environment.

This story began as a broadcast MSM smear against a sitting president during a time of war. It then moved into the cyber world of the blogsphere that gave it increasingly stronger and more solid legs as bloggers presented varied and unambiguous facts to support the claim that the memos had been forged. As the claims of forgeries increased and became more substantiated, the story was FORCED back into the MSM. Slowly, but surely, because of the power of the Internet, the MSM is being forced to cover this story and the questions raised about the authenticity of the memos.

Now, ironically enough, the MSM is having to choose sides - either the side of the blogosphere or the side of CBS/Rather. Interestingly, the MSM is trying to appear balanced by publishing the questions about the memos' authenticity, which actually places more pressure on Rather/CBS to come clean.

Oh, how the mighty have fallen!

I put together a summary hitting most of the high points on this, at least as of a few days ago, and taking care to mention Buckhead at least a couple of times (this guy was WAY ahead of everyone).

After reading it, can ANYONE seriously doubt that the CBS memos are not only forgeries, but cheap forgeries at that?
