But he gets no blow back.
What’s the common denominator?
MSM and the entrenched political machine.

I’m so done with this (this got me banned back then), I only have one pertinent comment:
If the media put 1/10th that effort in vetting the current POTUS/POS...
Cliché, I know, and probably parroting other comments.
Yada, yada...
And Algore comes out every once in awhile to say, “See? I told you so!” and goes back to his hole, too...

” Is this really what passes for journalism in our country today?”
Sadly, yes.
“Journists” see themselves as “shapers of opinion”.
Nothing else matters to them beyond that.

The Liberals never give up and never accept defeat. Rather will keep on repeating the lie until it is eventually accepted as the truth.
The Liberals are always telling others to “move on,” but they themselves can never let go. It took them 100 years to pass government controlled healthcare (ObamaCare). It will probably end up destroying the Democrat party, but they will never admit it.
After numerous defeats in the courts and in Congress, the Liberals are still pressing ahead on gun control.
You can never compromise with a liberal. That will only be the starting point for their next push. The only way to stop a liberal is to completely destroy them. The republicans should go after the Democrats on ObamaCare and pursue anyone who has ever spoken in favor of ObamaCare. These people should be chased out of the public domain (politics or the media) forever.

"Are the Killian Memos Fakes?" Thursday September 09, 08:42:07 GMT-0500 2004 by Sue Bob
" The Globe story is itself based on last night's 60 Minutes report: "New questions on Bush Guard duty." The online version of the 60 Minutes story has links to the memos. Killian died in 1984; CBS states that it "consulted a handwriting analyst and document expert who believes the material is authentic." Reader Tom Mortensen writes: Every single one of the memos to file regarding Bush's failure to attend a physical and meet other requirements is in a proportionally spaced font, probably Palatino or Times New Roman. In 1972 people used typewriters for this sort of thing (especially in the military), and typewriters used mono-spaced fonts.
The use of proportionally spaced fonts did not come into common use for office memos until the introduction high-end word processing systems from Xerox and Wang, and later of laser printers, word processing software, and personal computers. They were not widespread until the mid to late 90's.
Before then, you needed typesetting equipment, and that wasn't used for personal memos to file. Even the Wang and other systems that were dominant in the mid 80's used mono-spaced fonts. I doubt the TANG had typesetting or high-end 1st generation word processing systems.
I am saying these documents are forgeries, run through a copier for 15 generations to make them look old. This should be pursued aggressively. "

Although Free Republic isn't credited in this article, it is a good recap of RatherGate.

This is intentionally blown up so we can read it,
and it might be wise to save a copy of this image to your computer, just in case the VILE Democrats decide to scrub the image from the internet.
The Paper Trail: A Comparison of Documents
The Paper Trail: A Comparison of Documents
Dozens of inconsistencies are revealed by a side-by-side comparison of memos unearthed by CBS News
with officially released memos signed by President Bush's commander in the Texas Air National Guard,
Lt Col. Jerry B. Killian.
Font experts say that the CBS memos, left were almost certainly written using modern word-processing software,
in contrast to the previously released memos, right, which were written on a typewriter.
Differences appear in the use of fonts, proportionate spacing and Air Force jargon and memo-writing etiquette.
In addition, the writer of the CBS memos has used an out-of-date address for Bush and referred to an officer who has retired from the Texas Air National Guard.
Experts have reproduced almost exact replicas of the CBS memos using Microsoft Word
but have not been able to produce similar replicas on any typewriter that would have been available in 1973.

Once a respected newsman... now just an old, pathetic nutcase. If ever there was a reason to banish someone to the Old Liberals’ Retirement Home, this is it. Dan’s dementia is showing and he’s wandering again. someone needs to give him his meds and get him back to his cell.

Is this really what passes for journalism in our country today?But, you see, this isn't about journalism. It is so that when the time comes that someone does a post-mortem on this mess, the preponderance of "evidence" will be lies. It is the preemptive skewing of the record so that even if the truth cannot be purged, it can be buried in a dungheap of nonsense, and that nonsense will prevail as the myth known as 'history'.

Watched this unravel the night it happened. Freeper “Buckhead” fired first shot and it all went viral after that. Rather and his lying b&$ch Mary Mapes couldn’t get the toothpaste back in the tube after that
