Steyn asks the big question. It is similar to the one that came out of Watergate. The coverup was worse than the crime. Here's where the focus needs to go: "So why aren't they? The only reasonable conclusion is that the source -- or trail of sources -- is even more incriminating than the fake documents. Why else would Heyward and Rather allow the CBS news division to commit slow, public suicide?"

Let's see how long it is before someone else in the media wakes up to this fact.

There's the question, indeed.

Rather was willingly duped into this story.

...the over-the-top intros: ''Bob Schieffer, one of the best hard-nosed reporters in the business, has been working his sources. What have you managed to uncover for us, Bob?'', after which Bob reads out a DNC press release.

Priceless! Hey, Freedude, FYI, it is customary to put Mark Steyn's name in the title, like so:

That way, we'll all know to click on the link.

Great Steyn read!

I got a chuckle of out of Mark Steyn's Oliver Cromwell tag line. However, I beg to differ with him. I want Danron to stay right where he is, so we remember who liberals are. If he goes we learn nothing from this entire sorry episode. There are good reasons to have him around, the principal one being Danron is a living exhibit of what liberalism has become today. I say for the sake of America, keep him at CBS!!!

Forget about Rather. He is totally discredited now. Lets trackdown the sources.

You'd think CBS would be mad as hell to find whoever it was who stitched them up and made them look idiots. So why aren't they? The only reasonable conclusion is that the source -- or trail of sources -- is even more incriminating than the fake documents. Why else would Heyward and Rather allow the CBS news division to commit slow, public suicide?

Just as Watergate led not only to CReEP but to the FBI and CIA, Rathergate leads no doubt to the DNC, the Kerry campaign and CBS and Viacom top management with tentacles into other media corporations. There are ten Pulitzers waiting for the inside whistle blower, assuming he also brings down the communist Pulitzer committee.

....Hel-looooo? Earth to the Lost Planet of Ratheria: You can't ''break that story.'' A guy called ''Buckhead'' did that, on the Free Republic Web site a couple of hours after you ..........

Bump!
