Don’t forget Bill Burkett (I once worked at same company with him).

He was part of the conduit that put that in place. He has been silent a long time now. He was having health issues last I heard.

If he never did this President Bush, but waited till Romney's election to do something similar, he would have not gotten fired. obama being the incumbent, and the way the entire media is behaving like Dan Rather did in 2004 on a daily/hourly basis, there would have been no chance of his firing.

An insane demonrat is still a demonrat.

[tanknetter]

but the way you got to the truth was flawed

He's still beating the "fake but accurate" dead horse ...

The basis for his beliefs here are his beliefs in whether a story is true or not and whether it happens to fit his political and ideological biases. The Bush ANG story was about a Republican, therefore it had to be true and employing faked evidence isn't lying, it's just a "process flaw".

Benghazi is about a Democrat, so a different evidential standard must be applied. In this case, rather than the truth justifying the evidence, the evidence needed to support the truth.

Got it?

Can you believe this guy is still pushing the 'fake but accurate' line?

Just: Wow.

Ball-less bush will ignore and forgive... I would have this man in Federal Court and I would destroy his life completely... as a warning to all journolistas.

I was thinking crazy, but you’re right, too.

Ping.

Dan, if the memo is true then please explain how it was written using Word before that program was available.

[Carry_Okie]

I looked over the thread and can't believe I didn't see this: Unbelievable

“Fake, but accurate”.

Yeah... No Dan. No it wasn’t.

[a fool in paradise]

Whoever went to jail over the forging of this document? The cut and paste of an officer’s signature to gin up a false memo? The fraud between the DNC and the media who colluded on this story? FCC? FEC? Wirefraud (it was a fax)?

NO accountability?

[a fool in paradise]

Dan needs a couple more “What’s the frequency, Kenneth” moments.

I’d Rather not.....Can’t tell if it’s Dan’s daughter or son....
