CAN'T, CAN'T explain how it occured in 72-73

[Right Wing Professor]

Forensics expert on Hugh Hewitt currently

• Superscript is suspicious.
• Can't say about the font.
• Proportional font means nothing in itself.
• Can't rule out smart quotes: needs to see font.
• Can't answer why MS Word reproduces doc. exactly.
• If pushed to give an opinion right now, would say they're forged.
• Philip Bouffard (cited by a blogger) is very credible; Bouffard says 90% sure they're forged. Expert says Bouffard wrote the book on font examination.

"What is their strategery going to be? Ignore it? Minor correction, let it die? Full blown apology?"

Ms. Rather has used all of these methods in the past.

The superscript makes Kerry a postscript?

"I'm turning over to CBS to see what gives. I don't know how much I can take, though."

Wow, there will be a segment ... "FALLOUT" from the blah, blah, blah ...

[jackbill]

I'm turning over to CBS to see what gives. I don't know how much I can take, though.

I'll be switching over to Cap'n Dan as soon as Special Report is over. I'll but that CBS won't mention it - ever again.

Then I'll write a scathing letter to Andrew Heyward, President of CBS News and I'll FAX it to him at:

Andrew Heyward -- CBS News

Title: President

Department: Headquarters

Phone: (212) 975-4321

Fax: (212) 975-1893

Address: 524 W 57th St, New York, NY 10019

You all should do the same. I'd like to see his desk inundated when he get to work in the morning.

Just watched it, thanks! Bryon York is great. It's not certain some very observant Freepers have caught the rats forging documents, but I'd say the probability is 0.95 or better! In fact, it's so highly likely, I think the FBI should raid the offices of CBS and seize every computer of every employee (both their personal and work computers) and see if it can be determined where these phony documents came from. If from CBS, it's broadcasting license should be yanked.

[Howlin]

All I did was put up the "investigation thread" AFTER TankerKC said that the documents didn't look like the ones he saw when he was in the military!

HONEST!!!!

[Petronski]

All credit for throbbing goes to INCPEN.

[cajungirl]

okay,,WHO WAS THE VERY FIRST FREEPER WHO NOTED THIS,,we need a special all time award and bows and kudos,,damn, I am so proud of yall.

[Mrs.Liberty]

Sorry..but this just seems to fit here...

a Dan Rather quote:

"To err is human but to really foul up requires a computer"

A computer..as in one that runs MS Word...lol...

[faithincowboys]

Well, Byron York though cold water on this. SO who knows?

[LS]

Not to beat our own drum, but you can post ANY question here and get it answered by people with expert knowledge in less than 30 minutes. We constantly have stuff here---not always in the articles, but often in the commentary---that is way ahead of the news. And that's how newspapers used to be prior to Jackson: a "broadside" would arrive in an inn or tavern or coffee house and people would gather as a literate person read. Then they would begin to interject opinions and expertise and "edit" the story as they went. They would quickly decide if it was true or not!

[LibWhacker]

its

[Howlin]

I have no idea WHO that guy is. Especially now that CBS' explanation is falling apart!

[george wythe]

So many lies, so little time to digest them.

Shelly Bush said she was misquoted in the Kelly book about Bush using cocaine.

Eventually the voters will become inoculated against these phony facts from the old media.

[Mo1]

YES!!! Kerry is on his way to being nothing but toast

And he's taking the MSM down with him

Oh and Tom Harkin too .. did you catch his rant about how Bush lied?

[Henk]

WHO WAS THE VERY FIRST FREEPER WHO NOTED THIS

I think it was "Buckhead".

[LS]

Hey, hey, HEY! Some of us are smart. Honextly. We is.
