Nobody seriously asserts that Rather forged the TANG documents. Only that CBS was grossly negligent in failing to authenticate the documents, and that they compounded the error by refusing to admit it once it became obvious that the documents had been forged.

Presenting the truth in a truthful manner is the most important duty of the press. They failed to do their most important duty.

From my perspective, Clinton's affairs were not failures to perform his most important duty.

If Bush, in fact, failed to adhere strictly to National Guard requirements, the National Guard doesn't appear to have minded.

If Kerry lied after the fact about his service in Vietnam, this is not a failure to perform his duty in Vietnam.

The word for screwing around on your wife, slacking off during National Guard service, and telling lies about your war record is "peccadillo."

The word for failing to perform your most important duty is "dereliction."
