Yes, consistent with the lies they peddled tonight on the Evening News, CBS is a victim of mean, bad Bill Burkett.
They had 5 years to get this story right and somehow failed to do so. They could have chosen to interview a raft of persons and somehow missed the opportunity. The mistake was all in good faith, a rush to run with the story.
And yet the producer of the hoax managed to find time to contact the press secretary of the President's opponent and refer him to her irreputable source.
CBS: nothing but a bunch of biased, scheming liars.
I want the resignation of Mapes tomorrow morning. For starters.
I want Mapes subpoenaed, since she obviously had a great deal of contact with Burkett and was helping him spread forged federal documents.
This is such a telling observation on a level that has gotten lost amid all the fireworks. What does it say about CBS that they have spent five friggin' years and countless manhours chasing this ridiculous non-story round and round the mulberry bush, just because they thought they might somehow use it some day against George Bush?
