Reply #17: The MSM *helped* the Bushies bring down Dan Rather

[Mandate My Ass]

They focused like a laserbeam on the "forgery" aspect of this story and buried the much larger, quite damaging revelation about Bush's AWOL stint.

In our favor, bloggers are too numerous for them to take down individually but they're sending out the big guns to snort derisively about what a bunch of demented tinfoilers (or hateful partisans) the bloggers are, while not addressing the humongous scandal that has been uncovered.

The only thing this will force them to do is find one minute detail to successfully disprove and that will be the end of it along with any other scandal the blogosphere uncovers. Just like memogate they'll kill two birds with one stone.
