CBS News webpage now updated defending their reporting

Critics claim typewriters didn't have that ability in the 1970s. But some models did. In fact, other Bush military records already released by the White House itself show the same superscript – including one from 1968.

Some analysts outside CBS say they believe the typeface on these memos is New Times Roman, which they claim was not available in the 1970s.

But the owner of the company that distributes this typing style says it has been available since 1931.

"We look basically at what's called significant or insignificant features to determine whether it's the same person or not," Matley said. "I have no problem identifying them. I would say based on our available handwriting evidence, yes, this is the same person."

Matley finds the signatures to be some of the most compelling evidence.

Reached Friday by satellite, Matley said, "Since it is represented that some of them are definitely his, then we can conclude they are his signatures."

2. Anyone notice how the "news" media jumped on this within
48 hours of the show but still have to call the swift boats liars? And where is all the rebuttals about this on TV?

3. Ya gotta love this paragraph:
"It verged on outright corruption in terms of the favors that were done, the power that was traded. And it was unconscionable from a moral and ethical standpoint. It was unconscionable," Strong said.

4. I hate to be a spoiler but, when has the media ever worried about the
facts. They will still talk about it to plant the seed of doubt in every gullible American's mind.

We have already seen that all they care about is sensationalism. The swift boat liars are a prime example of their complete disregard for the truth.
