BUMP to do after work hours
Viacom lie debunked here on Snopes.com
I am not much of a writer, and I hate to type, but I used this site to send an email.

"I am writing because I am very concerned about the 60 minutes' use of forged memos.
I am 40 years old, and I have literally never missed an election since I was 18. I consider voting a scared honor for which people have died.
That someone would attempt to impact a national election using forged documents is appalling.
While I initially did not blame CBS, I did expect an immediate retraction and apology.
However, has CBS defended the story as accurate and stonewalled an investigation.
The fact that CBS did not perform even the most basic due diligence with this story is just astonishing.
I will not watch any CBS television until a full explanation is provided as the source of the forgeries and Dan Rather has left CBS.
War is not peace. Freedom is no slavery. Ignorance is not strength. Faked is not accurate."
