Many wondered how "Buckhead" could have had such intimate knowledge of type fonts, how he made his posting so soon after the program, and if he was a plant by the Bush administration.

I handed a print out of the CBS memo to my Mom with no context or background and said this was done on a typewriter in the 1970's. In less than than 3 seconds after glancing at the paper, she looked at me cross-eyed and said "This was done on a computer it couldn't have been done on a typewriter."

Twenty year old interns at CBS might have an excuse, but to anyone who has ever worked with a typewriter those documents may as well have been written in crayon and watercolors.

Actually I think nobody who has worked with a computer has an excuse.

It was not about knowing fonts, it was about ASKING QUESTIONS OBJECTIVLY. Mapes worked on the story for FIVE YEARS! Buckhead shreaded the story as a lie in 15 seconds.

THAT is what the story is about.

Even without a FR or internet, the story would have been exposed as a lie. Just more slooooowly. FR lets people talk. The entire nation knew Buckheads observation in that 15 seconds. The entire nation was able to examine and disect his opinion vs CBS/MSM opinions.

The MSM is just discovering something the founding fathers have always known. We are bigger than the media so they better be very careful what they write.
