Foxnews, Carl Cameron and his guest, a former Texas National guardsman of GW's time, really handing CBS and Rather and Kerry their lunch over the forged docs, and also RAT rumors that GW was AWOL because he was a drug fiend. So lame. The more they get mired in this, the bigger the backlash. They're smearing an honest man...and his commander at the time, now dead. If Kerry has a brain, he'll move off this asap. Trouble is, of course, he has nothing sensible to offer anybody.
I have to agree to some degree with you. Let the WaPost and some other OldMediots help us carry this story.
It is now sufficient for me that at least two Old Media stories:

ABC NEWS THE NOTE CREDITS BUCKHEAD AS 1st to uncover forgery
http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1211771/posts
CBS'S BIG BLUNDER? (Credits Free Republic)
as well as:

Anatomy of a Forgery
Give FReepers the initial credit, and that will be acknowledged in history, just as Drudge has been acknowledged as the original breaker of the "stained dress" story, to the chagrin of many.
Thanks for the great links!
Fox had on Col. Campenni..Great Guard spokesman pointing out holes in story.
I like your term also! But maybe MarxistStreamMedia sounds a little better? What do you think?
Who cares who claims credit for it, the point is THEY'RE FAKE! and everybody knows it (except danny boy). it might just look more creditable to independents, etc if abc and the washington post say they uncovered it... In reality it makes me sick because that's NOT the truth but whatever they're just trying to make some money I guess.
