NEW YORK - CBS curmudgeon Andy Rooney indicated Thursday he believes the controversial documents on President Bush's National Guard service are fake and said it could cost Dan Rather down the road.
``I'm surprised at their reluctance to concede they're wrong,'' Rooney said, referring to CBS brass.
Despite praising Rather as ``a good, honest newsman,'' Rooney added, ``I'm unsure if they're whistling in the dark instead of apologizing.''
The flap over the documents has rocked CBS News, has Republicans calling for Rather's head and has people questioning the credibility of Rather instead of Bush.
Rooney doesn't think the network would try to ease out Rather over the memo mess, but he added, ``It might have an effect on him six months from now.''
