Imagine Killian typing his personal memos at a giant linotype machine like something out of a science fiction movie and you get how far-fetched this whole thing is but The Globe clings to this fantasy.
Kind of like Kerry clinging to his fantasy that he will be Emperor, I mean President. This whole episode makes him look desperate. He's already ungraceful as it is and now this.
The treatment of the Bush guard memos by the Times, Globe and by CBS has given birth to a new catch-phrase--"Junk Journalism."
That could be the "Sore-Loserman" of 2004! Outstanding, is it your idea?

Kerry-Edwards: Forging Ahead
|
Yes. I thought of it late last night but didn't post anything until his morning. The NY Post had a headline today: "Rather Forges On", so I guess that's sheds doubt on my claim of originiality. But, yes, it is my idea. I used Dreamweaver for the HTML.
I don't understand outlets like the Boston Globe. By now they know that anything they publish nowdays will be immediately subject to scruitiny by hundreds of nitpickers, yet they insist on going with a story that could be debunked with a few minutes search of the web. Maybe they figure as long as some people buy into their shoddy, agenda-driven reporting, it's okay.
Too bad there's no TH in it, but it's still great.
Go for it!
Nice work, lol!

Kerry-Edwards: Forging A
|
I tried it myself last night with the pdf's from Fox.
I picked the last memo and wrote it out on Word using Times New Roman size 12. The documents were exact. In fact, as I copied the pdf, the word wraps happened in the identical places and the letters lined up exactly.
It's impossible that 1) a MAN using a typewriter in the 70s would type so well and be able to plan ahead a personal memo so that he didn't have to hyphenate words at the end of lines and 2) that a software program in 2004 could match a 1970s typewriter so perfectly.
The chances are too slim. I showed my wife and she laughed at how ridiculously fake the 1970's memos were. And she is not a computer afficianado.
This is no surprise. This is the same paper that had the reporter assigned to cover the Kerry campaign also on the Kerry campaign payroll at the same time. There is no attempt at objectivity in this piece of trash.
As someone who typed extensively, albeit poorly, I wonder the same thing.
So what does CBS' own expert say about verifying copies of documents? "In fact, modern copiers and computer printers are so good that they permit easy fabrication of quality forgeries. From a copy, the document examiner cannot authenticate the unseen original but may well be able to determine that the unseen original is false. Further, a definite finding of authenticity for a signature is not possible from a photocopy, while a definite finding of falsity is possible."
