CBSNEWS LAUNCHES INTERNAL INVESTIGATION AFTER SUSPICIOUS BUSH DOCS AIRED

**Exclusive**

CBS NEWS executives have launched an internal investigation into whether its premiere news program 60 MINUTES aired fabricated documents relating to Bush's National Guard service, the DRUDGE REPORT has learned.

"The reputation and integrity of the entire news division is at stake, if we are in error, it will be corrected," a top CBS source explained late Thursday.

The source, who asked not to be named, described CBSNEWS anchor and 60 MINUTES correspondent Dan Rather as being privately "shell-shocked" by the increasingly likelihood that the documents in question were fraudulent.

Rather, who anchored the segment presenting new information on the president's military service, will personally correct the record on-air, if need be, the source explained from New York.

Looks like CBS was in such a rush to air the story they didn't even bother to check the source. Now compare this against their behavior toward the Swiftees. Ah, the liberal media.

Yeah. And in their desire to keep the public informed, they gave the "exclusive" of their possible foul up...to... The Drudge Report. They didn't air it themselves...or tell CNN...or The NY Times... they gave the Drudge Report ALONE the exclusive. Yep. Yep. ;)

You expect the liberal, pro-Kerry media to make this national?

Actually, Brit Hume mentioned it on Fox as a rumor. Unlike CBS, Foxnews actually checks its sources. :)

I never thought I'd see the day when Little Green Footballs was quoted as a source for anything. Wow. How low have we sunk. What's next? Stormfront?

Funny side note--of all the groups challenging the authenticity of the documents, one group is strangely missing--The Bush campaign. Ponder on that.

I took a critical thinking class a while ago, and in doing research for a paper for it I discovered quite a few interesting programs that Fox has put on. They show a definite preference for pseudoscientific nonsense.
Perhaps they do check their sources, but the critical qualification is agreeing with the opinion they advocate.

This is what happens when the news media move from subtle bias into outright character assination. Way to go Dan Rather, you turd.

Um, ABCnews has it too, and they use the exact same argument as LGF.

I was joking, you fool.

Speaking of pseudoscientific nonsense, I saw ABC air not one, but two rabid anti-nuclear power shows in a week! Wow!

Dan Rather is still trying to foist the memos as real upon the american people.
