A few years ago that might have been possible. With blogs, and talk radio hammering this one to 20 plus million people a week, CBS will have to address the issue in a substantive way. A reasonable substantive way would be for them to quit walking the plank and admit they were hoaxed. Now the more difficult question, who will be the fall guy for CBS? I suspect they will apologize and try to pin the failure on an administrative snafu and hope the controversy goes away. Another option is to talk Rather into retiring in disgrace (one I now doubt he will be willing to do). CBS, NYT, Boston Globe and others have virtually no credibility as it is. This won't change much to the people who follow news closely. Many others will still fall prey to their marketing hype about "trustworthiness" and such. It will be interesting to see, either way you can bet this has given news divisions a wake-up call in presenting accurate information. I doubt we'll see documents put on the net in the future when they are a big part of the story. Safer for them to just put out a news release and say, "they were examined by multiple experts and found to be accurate". We now have a good idea what multiple means to the Mainstream press....
