NBC on CBS TANG documents

[buycitgo]

CBS news pres says we should redouble efforts to answer questions

Bob Schieffer says they have to own up, without revealing sources

what about the SUBSTANCE of the documents?

why don't you cover THAT????????????

[Sparkly]

1. Exactly -- this is all to distract FROM that

Nothing has removed a SHRED of doubt, or even BEGUN to answer a single question, about the Chimp's record.

All official, government-sourced documents and undebunked witness accounts still show that the Chimp DID indeed

-receive special treatment
-skip his flight physical
-get grounded
-fail to fulfill his duties

And that's only the START. The cover-up is an even bigger story.

Where are the "missing" or -- excuse me -- "inadvertently destroyed" documents?

Why did he miss his flight physical?

Why did he leave Texas?

Why was he honorably discharged?

5. THIS is why they did it, meaning rove, etal......you got it

they KNEW they couldn't keep a cap on all this stuff, with the Texans for Truth coming out with their ads, and that the real substance would find the light, after all these years

this way, they also KNEW the media would follow the more sensational, NEWSWORTHY trail of realtime document forgery, and ignore what the squatter did thirty years ago, and has lied about ever since, drawing his minions into a web of deceit and mendacity ever since

VERY VERY ballsy, but, when you think of today's media handmaidens' record for craved supinity, not really that big of a gamble

the only ones who will cover this aspect of the story, like Olberman, who, I think, was at least partially joking, will not be listened to

I sure hope Olberman realizes what he's on to, and uses the sources available here and elsewhere

2. Fred Francis, reporter ahole, says CBS reputation is at stake

AND that they are unduly trying to influence the election!

kinda like YOU did, NBC, when you had Jack Welch in your HQ, "distracting editorial staff, doing his own computer analysis of sensitive voter data and, ultimately, insisting the race be called for fellow Republican George W. Bush," according to the brave Henry Waxman?

3. If It's Not Real, It Has No Substance

what about the SUBSTANCE of the documents?

If they're forgeries, then there isn't any substance to cover. Anybody can say anything in a bogus document.

6. So sad

...that your simple logic doesn't even occur to people around here. Thank you. At least someone gets it.

8. what are you TALKING about?

someone gets WHAT?

do you believe Bush successfully accomplished his flight physical?

you think that Bush has nothing to hide about his TANG career?

please let us know what you think about this

15. This is what I think

CBS fucked up royally.

They had a well researched story that demonstrated that Bush failed to take his physical and tried to use his father's connections to get out of guard duty. This story could have blown Bush out of the water. However, because they couldn't be bothered to correctly authenticate a single lousy memo that was instantly recogized as a fake by hundreds of people, it won't. The story is now about how CBS screwed up and the rest of their piece will quietly sink. If you don't believe me, read tommorrow's headings.

10. Huh???

"If the documents are not real, it has no substance."

No.....that's not necessarily true. The documents could be true in content but unauthentic from the standpoint that they are not the original documents and have been reproduced.
