CBS staff are on the breaking point.

The direct number to the CBS news desk is 212-975-3691

I called and asked when Rather would apologize to the President. The girl was very peeved and said I should go to the gym and work off my anger. Click.

She went to Customer Service Training Classes for sure.

Give them a call, they'll love it.

...after extensive additional views, I no longer have the confidence in this photograph that would allow us to continue vouching for Robin's gender...

The local news in Charlotte just ran a piece on the subject. They pleaded with the audience not to blame the local station, that they had nothing to do with it.

Apparently the pressure is on.

If CBS airs footage of Dan easing his pain with a lady of the night in a cheap motel, be assured that I will immediately post it!

If we watch it, then their ratings will go up. I, for one, will not be tuning in to this or any other CBS show until they treat this case like they would if the documents were about Kerry's service.

Rather won't apologize for using FAKE DOCS. None of them
have admitted the DOCS were forgeries...only that they can't
be "verified."

So with a shrug and an "I don't know", they're hoping to walk
away from it, admitting nothing more improper than fully
doing their homework.

I did not have journalistic relations with that source, Max Cleland.

Signed,

Not unless you're a Nielsen family connected to a box.

That sounds about right.
Rather will present an APOLOGETICS explanation of why he and CBS News did nothing wrong.
And that while the documents are false, the story is true.

And Dubya and Rove are the criminals that entrapped them.

Yada, yada, yada...

It will be interesting to see who tries to run down the ultimate source of the forgeries, and their motive for searching. This electioneering flap begs a question - is CBS or parties involved with CBS on this matter exposed under federal code? Does possession of forged offical documents entail exposure similar to possession of stolen property?

Forging offical seals of US government agencies or departments is referred to in 18 USC Sec. 506 01/06/03.

If the forger is active duty US military, then 10 USC Sec. 923 01/06/03 would seem to apply.

Is there any offical DOJ or DOD action that could / should be taken?

Sorry Dan. We need the name of your "unimpeachable" source, not the middle man.
