Yousef Long time no see. The liberal bias is there all the time. But doesn't it REALLY shine through during an election season? Dan Rather has got to be one of the worst excuses for a "journalist" of anyone ever to practice the trade. That CNN would allow Begala & Carville to stay on the air is beyond any journalistic integrity whatsoever (just about as bad as cow-towing to Saddam to allow them to stay in Baghdad). Pretty sick. But I'm loving this current story -- they're getting it shoved back in their faces...and it is just getting started....

Yousef, Love to see CBS on the "grill". LOL. Couldn't happen to the nicer group of people (CBS and Rather. Rather is sticking by the story, BTW: --------------------------------------------------------------------------- RATHER DIGS IN: THE DOCUMENTS ARE AUTHENTIC CBSNEWS anchor and 60 MINUTES correspondent Dan Rather publicly defended his reporting Friday morning after questions were raised about the authenticity of newly unearthed memos aired on CBS which asserted that George W. Bush ignored a direct order from a superior officer in the Texas Air National Guard. CNN TRANSCRIPT: (BEGIN VIDEO CLIP) DAN RATHER, CBS NEWS ANCHOR: I know that this story is true. I believe that the witnesses and the documents are authentic. We wouldn't have gone to air if they would not have been. There isn't going to be -- there's no -- what you're saying apology? QUESTION: Apology or any kind of retraction or... RATHER: Not even discussed, nor should it be. I want to make clear to you, I want to make clear to you if I have not made clear to you, that this story is true, and that more important questions than how we got the story, which is where those who don't like the story like to put the emphasis, the more important question is what are the answers to the questions raised in the story, which I just gave you earlier. (END VIDEO CLIP) CBS NEWS executives on Thursday launched an internal investigation into whether its premiere news program 60 MINUTES aired fabricated documents relating to Bush's National Guard service, the DRUDGE REPORT has learned. "The reputation and integrity of the entire news division is at stake, if we are in error, it will be corrected," a top CBS source explained late Thursday.

If he cut his losses early by distancing himself from it while the facts are being straightened out, he could easily survive either outcome. By digging in, he is putting his career on line, IMO. Joe
