Fact is, there are a LOT of VERY serious issues that should be pushed HARD OTHER than the documets. The other issues expose HOW THE MEDIA WING OF THE DEMOCRAT PARTY ACTUALLY WORKS! CBS' "gold standard" included:
1. The widow and son were IGNORED
2. Document experts were IGNORED
3. Hodges was MISLED
4. The old secretary was NOT INTERVIEWED until afterward
5. Staudt, who had his character attacked in one memo, was never contacted
6. The opinions of the experts were MISREPRESENTED
7. The swift boat veterans were MALIGNED
8. George Bush's roomate DURING HIS GUARD YEARS, who AGREED TO SPEAK TO THEM WAS TURNED DOWN BECAUSE HE WAS TOO "PRO BUSH"...
And the list goes on. Fact is, this was a HIT PIECE ON BUSH. And just because dnCBS owns up to fake documents does NOT CLEAR THEIR PROPAGANDA / DNC REPORTING!!

We made a mistake in judgment, and for that I am sorry. It was an error that was made, however, in good faith and in the spirit of trying to carry on a CBS News tradition of investigative reporting without fear or favoritism. Boy, if that one doesn't bring up a hairball, I don't know what will...

NRO Kerry Spot is reporting that CBS will issue more information against Bush after claiming the mea culpa.

Not good enough, Danny. Not good enough by a long shot.
Resign. Now. Grasp some thread of journalistic integrity. Or suffer the wrath of the Blogosphere.

That's really great to hear, Dan...

Just hot air. Cheap grace. And no public admission on CBS News, nor his resignation.

And we promised that we would let the American public know what this examination turned up, whatever the outcome... I find we have been misled on the key question of how our source for the documents came into possession of these papers. Tell us the source, Dan. Tell us the source! Tell us the source!

"It was an error that was made"
Very Clintonian passive voice. Reminds me of the classic
"mistakes were made"

It was an error made in bad faith and that will continue unabated until we do all we can to further our agenda to destroy the presidency of George W Bush

I just have to wonder WHAT Dan knows now that he didn't know when he did his "investigative journalism" report using these forged docs...
what new evidence has come to light Dan?
He CANNOT be allowed to ge away with this!!!
Neither can Mary Mapes,,this is NOT ACCEPTABLE.
