KCBS has used the same script as the Dan Rather reports (with their own voice-overs). KCBS has continued to follow Dan Rather's line that it stands by its original reporting.
Freep this affiliate! I hear that many affiliates are getting large complaints.

Emily Will, a veteran document examiner from North Carolina, told ABC News she saw problems right away with the one document CBS hired her to check the weekend before the broadcast.
“I found five significant differences in the questioned handwriting, and I found problems with the printing itself as to whether it could have been produced by a typewriter,” she said.
Will says she sent the CBS producer an e-mail message about her concerns and strongly urged the network the night before the broadcast not to use the documents.
“I told them that all the questions I was asking them on Tuesday night, they were going to be asked by hundreds of other document examiners on Thursday if they ran that story,” Will said.
But the documents became a key part of the 60 Minutes II broadcast questioning President Bush’s National Guard service in 1972. CBS made no mention that any expert disputed the authenticity.
“I did not feel that they wanted to investigate it very deeply,” Will told ABC News.
He can't get away with shoddy journalism anymore.
I have emailed CBS with my complaint.
Freeped.
Thanks for the thread. Just sent in my e-mail!
So what did you tell them?
Sorry for all the pings lately! Just a lot of stuff going on that is impacting Southern California (as well as the rest of the nation).
I reached the assignment desk at than number and the guy didn't seem pleased. I said I wanted to make a complaint about Dan Rather, and he transferred me to a tip line where I left a message.
Don’t apologize I appreciate them. Thanks.
OT
I just had to share with you. ROFLAOL
Getting a handle on Kerry is like trying to herd cats in a room with a rabid dog. IMHO :-)

Thanks for the ping.
Ch 9 (Kcal 9) is also owned by seeBS.
Although I haven’t seen news from Ch 9 It wouldn’t hurt to freep them also.

Did they air any of the Dan Rather reports? If not, it is not fair to FREEP them.
I don’t know. And I agree with to an extent only because they seem to have the best/positive coverage as far as support for our troops. The only light I can offer is that the web story is identical to the Ch 2 story.

"Emily Will, a veteran document examiner from North Carolina, told ABC News she saw problems right away with the one document CBS hired her to check the weekend before the broadcast."
Larry Elder interviewed her on his show last night. It was stunning how CBS ignored her when she told them the docs were fake. Basically, they wanted to hear what they wanted to hear, and things like pesky facts weren't welcome.
strange how journalistic integrity takes a turn for the worse 50 days outside of an election.
Bingo. Neither CBS nor Dan Blatheringidiot gives a damn about our letters. They are LIBERALS. Time to go over their heads to the FCC.
Done - FReeped. Thanks for the tip, although I haven't watched anything on SeeBS in LA (I live there) for longer than I can remember.
