That isnt even funny. Dan Rather deserves some JAIL TIME for FRAUDULENTLY trying to bring down a president, probably costing many people money in the market. Slander, Libel all you can think of. They need to MAKE AN EXAMPLE of him to straighten out this G/D crooked media that I have come to HATE. jdn

(2005-01-07) -- An internal CBS News investigation released today cleared veteran newsman Dan Rather of intentional wrongdoing, and blamed his use of a forged document in a 60 Minutes news story on an "integrity malfunction," similar to the wardrobe malfunction suffered by Janet Jackson on CBS. I had to get past this first paragraph entirely before I realized that this article was from scrappleface. But then, I don't have very high expectations of the CBS "investigation", and I use the term loosely. CBS has a lot of moolah invested in old Danny boy, and their incentive to label him a victim who overtrusted his staff is great. It will be interesting to see how CBS threads the needle. As Hitch said, when you accept a phony $100 bill, you can claim to be an innocent. When you accept a phony $99 bill, you better think up a better story than that. Particularly if you are a banker.
