JAMES LILEKS:

In any case, the whole "fake but accurate" line shows how tone-deaf these people are; it's like saying a body in a pine box is "dead but lifelike." It boggles, it really does: the story is true, the evidence is faked, but the evidence reflects the evidence we have not yet presented that proves our conclusion - ergo, we're telling the truth. They just can't give it up; they just can't say the memos were typed by the guy in the "Dude, you're getting a Dell!" commercial and leave it be, because that that puts the knife in the story regardless of what happened. So they keep going.

The lifelike corpse is CBS's reputation. And it's not looking all that lifelike anymore.
