The documents weren't "easily dismissed" as forgeries. They were carefully studied and analyzed and only then were dismissed as forgeries.

The only reson the documents were not easily dismissed as forgeries is that CBS was close minded to facts and reasoned analysis.

Man, if we had the internet and talk radio in 1964, we might well have elected Barry..

We were able to elect Nixon twice and Reagan twice in the face of unanswered MSM hostility. We are much stronger now than we were then. I don't fear 2008 the way so many here do.

That's just SOP at CBS.

I am inclined to say that she's only embarassing herself further, but apparently she's immune from embarassment. I suppose she just wants to draw comfort from people like herself who are so blinded by their prejudices that they cannot recognize the truth when it hits them in the face. This is really a sad story; in a way I feel sorry for her.

There are a lot of people I feel sorry for whom I don't want piloting airliners, performing surgery or reporting the news.

The truly troubling aspect of this is that without the internet this nutcase not only survived, but thrived in an organization whose charter should be, first, to get the story right.

I don't think Miss Mapes gets it.

Nope, it is YOU who doesn't "get it." You don't understand the FIRST rules about journalism on the left.
1) When they run a hit piece, it is an honest if aggressive, credulous yet measured attempt to uncover the sinister machinations of the right.
2) When "mistakes are made" it is a result of a politically driven "campaign" to smear the media for doing honest objective reporting.

Try to get that through your skull, you right wing Neanderthal, bible screeching, having sex with your guns, homophobic, not caring for the poor, McCarthyite.... REPUBLICAN, you!

LOL! I agree with ya...but they've been in major meltdown now for a couple of years. I think it's going to reach it's zenith with their continuing losses in the next election.

I also don't think they have enough mojo to pull off a filibuster. So many of the current rats in the Senate voted FOR Alito's appeals court confirmation in 1990. It will put them in a treacherous position were they to try to change their minds now.

Bush is brilliant in his selection of Alito.

"Suspected liberals had become the new 'Communists...What in the world would Edward R. Murrow think of his network now?"

He would be upset that you can't get away with the lying and smearing any more.

I suppose we are McCarthyists for insisting that slanderous attacks on the President be based on the truth. If so, we are guilty.

"Airing such a contrived BS Bush Texas ANG story on national TV in the remaining weeks leading up the November 2004 election wasn't?"

Right and then she has the stones to complain about being "slimed" by the Busites. She wanted to be able to slime with impunity.
