It's impossible to believe CBS conspired with the source of the almost certain forgeries.

Really? Impossible to believe?

It's more likely that a "Get Bush" newsroom culture compromised professional checks and standards and allowed the network to be had. Whatever its documents experts said -- whatever countervailing evidence there was to cast doubt on the claims of Bush's accusers -- the story just had to be true. CBS wanted to believe. That seems to be the network's position even today.

And this is precisely the reason CBS collusion with the forger is believable.

What turns this from "impossible" to very possible indeed is one very telling item: Where is CBS' outrage over being had??? They are not behaving in a way that would be expected if they were completely duped.

For this reason alone, they look VERY complicit. IMO
