Betcha the USA Today has been holding their breath hoping no one would notice they were in on the forged documents also

The puppet-strings (or octopus tentacles) extend far and wide...

What "media collusion"??

[dc-zoo]

I believe they got them on their own and also had two more documents than cBS made public.

Plus USA Today had six documents. How did they end up with six documents and where did they get them?

They got the same six documents from the same source as CBS.

CBS also received six documents but only reported on and posted four.

[cyncooper]

USA Today and CBS both received the same six documents directly from the same source, which we now know was Bill Burkett.

Ok.. thanks for the info.

To document it:

CBS Statement to Affiliates [much more detailed statement given to affiliates than to public]

September 15, 2004

excerpt:

The 60 MINUTES Wednesday broadcast reported that it obtained six documents from the personal files of Lt. Col. Killian, four of which were used in the broadcast.

~snip~

I have been meaning to check or have someone check for us if CBS is telling the truth that "The 60 Minutes Wednesday broadcast reported that it obtained six documents..." or just kind of slipped it in there in this statement.

They almost always give me $1.00 off. USA Today's dirty little hotel marketing secret is getting the hotel to make it a part of your bill even if you don't want it. The hotel also can make $.50/copy by doing this.
