CBS Regrets Bush Memos Story

CBS is not the victim. They are the PERPETRATOR.

Precisely. And Dan Rather didn't go to Texas over the weekend to interview Burkett. He went to get their joint story straight.

[onyx]

This is NOT just a mistake.
CBS tried to pull a coup
during war time. Their aim
was and IS to influence the
election by portraying POTUS
as a liar and as a man UNFIT
to command.

[MEG33]

Joe Albaugh is on Fox saying CBS should apologize to the President...The Burkett story of "sanitizing the documents" is false(Burkett said Albaugh made the call, if you remember)..."How dumb would it be to try to sanitize copies?"..Bush asked to see his record..They found out they were kept in a repository in Denver.

CBS is standing by the story

Vanity Fair columnist Michael Wolff is saying the the story is true. on Fox .None so blind

[Sacajaweau]

Can you say coverup?

Why do I think Hillary and Bubba are connected? Because Hillary has been TOOOO quiet. Long lost papers are usually brought to light by Hillary.

[Dolphy]

Carl Cameron was just on Fox saying Maxie confirmed there was contact with Burkett. He also said that Kerry was pushing this 60 Minutes piece as a "must see" to his traveling press for several weeks PRIOR to it coming out. Carl Cameron, as we all know, is one of them traveling with Kerry.

Several weeks? I thought the documents were received days before the story ran? (Apologies if this point has been made, I'm just making my way through the thread.)

[Happy2BMe]

Sorry MeekO. The one of the gavel coming down on Duby's head might be used in the wrong way in the hands of a rat.

My 2 cents/observation.

[clyde260]

Long lost papers are usually brought to light by Hillary.

I'm with ya on that, it makes one wonder as to the authenticity of the Rose Law firm billing records??????

[Happy2BMe]

" The network did not say the memoranda — purportedly written by one of Mr. Bush's National Guard commanders — were forgeries. But the network did say it could not authenticate the documents and that it should not have reported them."

John/Jane Doe on the street will say/think: "If they LIED on this issue, what is going to keep them from LYING on all the rest?"

[onyx]

That's right.
The credibility train has left the station...
CBS shall not recover from their failed coup.

This is war time, and CBS tried to paint
POTUS as a liar, UNFIT for command.

No, this will not go away.
CBS is UNFIT to broadcast.

[Grampa Dave]

My tagline summarizes what the MSM Mediots do to the American people, 24/7/365!

[Happy2BMe]

"No, this will not go away. CBS is UNFIT to broadcast."

______________

Not only that - THEY HAVE SHOT NOT JUST THEIR FOOT, BUT THEIR WHOLE LEG CLEAN OFF - they won't even be considered to moderate one of the upcoming presidential debates. There would be RIOTS outside the television studio if CBS were selected to moderate a presidential debate!

NEWS: CBS STOCK PLUMMETS / 60 MINUTES GONE IN 60 SECONDS

[Professional Engineer]

Insults will get you nowhere Bub.

[Happy2BMe]

NEVER is right. They NEVER stop lying.

[Ernest_at_the_Beach]

Sure, they regret it, they got caught!

[Polyxene]

C-onstant B-S doesn't regret anything -- other than getting caught!!

[Neenah]

DAN RATHER ON LARRY KING TOMORROW NIGHT

[StarFan]

I'm not buying this and before Rather's resignation, the public should demand more answers. Particularly how CBS could rely on Burkett, knowing his history, and to first identify him as a credible, impeachable source. Nah, DNC has their fingerprints all over this.

[mabelkitty]

DNC created an ad July 20 and invited the press to come see it - the ad was called Fortunate Son.

CBS memos were used in the ad.

White House didn't get copies of the memos until three hours before the 60 Minutes special was aired.

Collusion a blind person could see.

[Grampa Dave]

I have modified my tagline.

Nice, very nice take.
