Big media screws up
Damnation blog

I am now convinced that George W. Bush is the luckiest man on earth.

Frankly, I didn't think the "National Guard memos" recently uncovered by CBS would harm him that much anyway, since the issue of Bush's service already came up during the 2000 election. (That's probably the biggest advantage of being the incumbent: all the dirt on you has likely been revealed already, which is also why I don't think Kitty Kelley's new book is going to hurt him much, either.) But yesterday, several bloggers - notably Power Line and LGF - uncovered evidence that the memos are forgeries, and now other media outlets are beginning to question their authenticity. According to Drudge, CBS has launched an internal investigation into the matter.

If the documents were fake - and that's looking more and more likely - this truly has been a dark hour for "mainstream" journalism. And never has the much-maligned blogosphere looked so good.
