Poll question: How long will it take for media to investigate RawStory allegations?
It took less than 24 hours after CBS ran its story on the Killian memos for CNN and Washington Post to hire document experts to analyze the memos. If the media were as balanced as they claim, one would expect that they'll give similar scrutiny to Raw Story's allegation that Bush's military records may have been doctored.

2. i wrote the story, and i say never too.
I hope all of this helps you to understand that the 'liberal media' is a total myth.

3. I voted "never", but you you forgot one category:
"They'll wait until the story gets its own legs, and then they’ll say Kerry personally forged the documents."

4. Even if they do,
they'll say "Some liberal bloggers are saying...", "However, there have been strong challenges to debunk what some are saying is a bogus story planted by pro-Kerry operatives."

You know how it goes.

5. also, let's not forget DU automatically removes Raw Story from LBN
But not Drudge. That certainly doesn't help the ability of the story to spread.

7. latest breaking news.
at one point, Raw Story was banned from DU because we posted out stories (gasp) in latest breaking news where everyone posts Drudge, because we're not a legitimate news source (and drudge is, i guess). c'est la vie.
