I highly commend ABC NEWS.
THE ENTIRE MEDIA better watch itself especially with a congressional investigation already being planned for CBS.
But I really dont get it why would CBS would run the program when document experts warned them about doubts. CBS would run it solely based on Right Wing Source Trust |
Congressional investigation? Haven't heard this one, though I wouldn't dismiss it. You have a source?
I agree that CBS should be held to public scrutiny here. They have an obligation to demonstrate the veracity of these documents, and that includes the unfortunate possibility of exposing their source if necessary. Simply stating that "we stand by our source" simply doesn't cut it anymore with the speed of present-day technological communication abilities that can quickly support or shoot down claims, as well as spread speculation and innuendo (unfortunately). It was erroneous of them to claim that they could verify anything on merely copies of the documents, and I personally fault them for that.
But again, this whole story regarding Bush's past cannot be dismissed based on these documents. You asked me earlier if I want to focus on this type of stuff. Well if you've read any of my posts, I've stated ad nauseum that this whole past crap is ridiculous to focus on for very long FOR BOTH CANDIDATES. But I do see a reckless pattern here from the mainstream media, as well as a serious bias on covering the smear of one candidate's past a helluva lot more than the other candidate. Could it be chalked up to the fact that Kerry made it part of his campaign? Sure, maybe a little, but I cannot chalk it up entirely to that, and it would be shortsighted to do so.
What's also clear here is that in comparing the two past records, at worst you have Kerry being a weenie and wanting to avoid confrontation, even though he went to the war and fought for his country, versus the possibility that our President went AWOL and broke military law and/or the military was willingly covering up for Bush.
The latter tends to disturb me a great deal more than the former.
