I'm listening to "This American Life" on public radio.

There is a story from the 90's about a guy who was selling a bunch of documents that put JFK into a very bad light.

Turns out they were fake.
Turns out ABC exposed it.
Turns out ABC consulted with a typewriter export who said the font on the documents was not available on any typewriter at the time the documents were allegedly typed.
The world accepted the truth of that immediately.

This American Life did not make any reference to the Bush papers scandal 10 years later which were exposed as fakes exactly the same way.
