I hope Rather’s suit is as successful as Alger Hiss’ civil suit against Whittaker Chambers.
You see, “their” answer, as I read today on an ABC site, is the docs were destroyed so there is no way to prove anything now.
Hey Dan...no one ever proved they were genuine, which of course should’ve been your first priority being a journalist.
Christ, what a twit. Prove the negative?
The onus is on you. You haven't proved that the documents are authentic, other than your claim that they are. It was your news story; you provide the proof.
At least Cronkite was smart enough to keep his head down for almost two decades.
Its pretty clear Rather has some serious mental health issues that have yet to be addressed professionally.
The documents were purported to have been typed by Bush’s commander, they are now proven to have been produced on equipment that was not in existence at the time. How does this not prove them to be FAKE?
You’re so correct. They have to be proved real before they are ever featured in the news story. BTW, I don’t believe Bush ever denied that his TANG career was less then stellar. Where’s the story?
Yes. Instead of looking at the facts and trying to determine a conclusion, liberals determine which conclusion they want us to believe and then manufacture the facts to "prove" it.
When they did this at the time of the Clarence Thomas hearings, I left the Liberal party.
Folks who need to lie like that in order to win, don't have much else going for them.
Dan realizes that they are giving him the bum’s rush so he tries to prove them wrong by breaking a “HUGE” story. Unfortunately it really isn’t a story. Mr. Rather has “lost his sense of smell” so to speak and can’t spot a fake any more which is why he’s over at 60 Minutes 2 in the first place.
The whole thing comes to light as these things usually do and Dan Rather’s ego is so huge he just can’t accept the fact that his lack of objectivity in this matter led him astray.
In retirement, he’s had a chance to ruminate on the facts and he truly believes he’s been set up by CBS and its best friend the evil Bush Administration, because he, Dan Rather, is THAT BIG-they needed to take him down.
Here’s my question, does anyone else think Dan is in the early stages of dementia or is his ego just that huge? Either way he is an entirely pitiable character.
Dan Rather makes dirt look smart...
No one has proof the documents are fake,
But...Rather has proven himself a Flake.
I wish the President would sue this piece of sh—.
Unfortunately, they have the support of the Far Left, along with too many gullible people who are willing to vote for them. Case in point: The Clintons
Is that the news media’s standard of authenticity? “Here’s a document. Prove that it’s fake.”
Actually Dan’s words make an interesting statement about what Rush has deemed the “Drive-By Media.” It’s clear the media has no intention of presenting fact. Their goal is to report something and make it the responsibility of the viewer/reader to prove if it’s false.
Which is why message boards such as this exist.
Most of the crap the liberals say on the news has no factual basis, either.
