That was the last time I watched “the Daily Show” with John Stewart.
It was pretty Obvious Viacom told all their lackeys to change the subject. Here was pure comedy that was off limits to the only political comedy show on TV.
You could make the EXACT memo your self... type a few sentences into Word 97 with default margins, convert it to pdf, print out the “official” memo from the CBS website.. hold your forgery up to the “official” 1972 version and EVERY FRICKEN LETTER LINED UP.
It would have cost the Daily Show 8 cents to duplicate what we all did, but they didn’t. Hacks.
I was but a NOOB back then.
Buckhead point out it wasn’t done on a typewriter. Fun night!

Truly one of the most momentous examples of internet debunking of a major network news story ever done! Congrats and thanks to all who made it happen. Reading back on it again after all these years, it brings immense pride to me that a bunch of amateurs could take down a group of professional liars.
The old media is dead, long live the new media.
