Beldar has some more thoughts on the media’s current round of Rathergate revisionism, and CBS’s “spectacularly gutless” defense against Rather’s lawsuit: Rather seeks trial to promote his revisionist history, but the world still can’t look to CBS News for the actual truth.

National Public Radio does their best to rewrite history in this shockingly disingenuous piece on the Rathergate affair, told from Dan Rather’s perspective as he openly states (and NPR doesn’t challenge) that the memos in his infamous 60 Minutes II piece were never proven to be fakes: Dan Rather Hopes ...

As we’ve written previously, the mainstream media seem to be slowly but surely re-legitimizing the “Rathergate” documents, casting doubt on whether they really were fraudulent. Matthew Hoy points out the latest example, a column at the Miami Herald by Edward Wasserman: Dan Rather’s defenders.
Rupert Murdoch says the mainstream media has become contemptuous of its audience: Murdoch to media: You dug yourself a huge hole.

CBS lawyers are scoffing at Dan Rather’s idiotic lawsuit, which claims that CBS’s independent investigation was a “sham.” Dan Rather’s conspiracy theories about CBS make about as much sense as a two-story outhouse, the network says.

The Washington Post finally starts to cover the real issue in the Barack Obama campaign’s acceptance of fraudulent credit card donations—the fact that the campaign has deliberately disabled the online payment industry’s standard safeguards against fraud: Obama Accepting Untraceable Donations. Sen. Barack Obama’s presidential campaign is allowing donors to ...
In the kind of sloppy, childish rhetoric that passes for deep thinking on the left, Mary Mapes—the discredited, fired partisan hack who tried to tilt the last presidential election with fraudulent documents—gloats that the Republican Monster is Dying. Ha, ha. Nothing makes me happier than seeing once swaggering players ...

Credit card fraud is rampant in the Obama campaign, and it’s been verified. In a nutshell: apparently, the Obama campaign disabled security checks that verify the name and address of a card-holder. So it’s possible to donate money using a real card, but a fake name and address. Quite a ...

If you can believe this, Dan Rather is still insisting that his (and Mary Mapes’) National Guard memos—proven beyond all doubt to be fakes—are genuine documents created on a magical super-typewriter in the 1970s that inexplicably was able to precisely duplicate the output from Microsoft Word in 2004: ‘Absolutely True:’ ...
