Whether or not CBS was deceived, the public should not be:

[jumpstart33]

The facts still remain.
Bush received favored treatment to jump ahead of hundreds of young men to get into the national Guard. He did snort cocaine, and locked up hundreds of young men, mostly minorities, for doing the same thing that he had done. He lied about WMDs and the connection between Iraq and 9/11. He is still an idiot who was able to get into the most powerful position in the world (thereby lowering the esteem of the Presidency forever)simply because of who his parents are.

1. and yuor point

rove won.

For most people that story now is suspect, fully.

I hate to say it, but get used to an even more supine media now

[ClassWarrior]

2. You're right. Time to put on our pink tutus and concede defeat.

[Demit]

3. No, not yet! Not the pink tutu yet! What about the Times' story?

I admit it was about a month late, but they did lay out all the facts. A limp headline, but still a front page story.

Maybe I'm just in my Pollyanna mode here, but I still think this story's not dead yet. Things still might segue into "okay, the memos were bogus but let's talk about what's in em..."

[ClassWarrior]

4. Thank you Wendy. We have to take the fight to 'em.

We knew it was gonna get dirty when we got into this thing. We just have to fight it out.

[annabanana]

5. true....

Many correspondants are still following the "fake docs" comment with "true content" comment.

[ClassWarrior]

7. Right.

[the Kelly Gang]

6. and I predict the media will hound this story until they get to the end

of werever these memos came from but it keeps Bush's AWOL story out there.

[GreenArrow]

8. "fake docs"

Why does everyone call these docs "fake" or "fraudulent." The fact is, no one KNOWS where these documents came from, who wrote them, or why. At least no one who is telling. It would be more accurate to call the documents inconclusive or controversial, as opposed to fraudulent.

[ClassWarrior]

9. The only thing that will conclusively prove them fake...

...is proof that the contents are false. QED.

[GreenArrow]

10. so, in the meantime

we should stop calling them fake. We simply don't know whether they are fake or not. We don't know their provenance, and until we do, it's inaccurate to call them fakes.
