| 131. CBS should stand behind Dan Rather |
|
Already the right wing bobbleheads such as Wolf Blitzer on CNN, and others on MSNBC and FOX are putting out the question: Is CBS making Dan Rather its scapegoat? I can't friggin' believe it. They're actually using the word "scapegoat", those filthy bastards.
CBS needs to send an urgent release to all of these despicable TV and cable channels to stop it immediately, to state clearly they stand behind Dan Rather 100%, that their investigation is ongoing, and that despite whatever problem they may have had with their sources autheticating the documents in question, as Killian's secretary has already stated clearly, the contents of the documents was accurate and true.
CBS and Rather BOTH have to go on the offensive against these cretin media outlets, and not let them get away with their character assassinations.
They should refocus on Bush's record in TANG, and the questions surrounding it as well. They need to be forceful, not only on defense, but on offense, in framing the issues, and not allow these right wing pigs to continue to frame the issues.
Bury the media in press releases and interviews.
