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. To make his point, Murdoch criticized the media reaction after bloggers debunked a “60 Minutes” report by former CBS anchor, Dan Rather, that President Bush had evaded service ...

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. Rather and his old bosses were facing off in Manhattan Supreme Court yesterday, ...

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 ...

Sure, I could make a joke about this story, but why bother? It’s perfect just the way it is: Rather covers election for French TV. PARIS — Former CBS star reporter Dan Rather has been tapped by French pay TV group Canal Plus to cover the U.S. presidential election. ...

I think it’s supposed to be an honor to be on this list of the 50 Buzziest Blog Posts of All Time, but Nerve.com’s description of the Rathergate affair amounts to a really dumb conspiracy theory. 3. “Bush Guard Documents: Forged” 9/9/04 Sure, this post helped give us four ...

Four years ago, the Dreaded Throbbing Memo that haunts Dan Rather’s fevered dreams was born. UPDATE at 9/10/08 9:42:51 am: For the record, and because the mainstream media are staying away from this anniversary as if it were radioactive, here’s the post that proved the Killian memos fraudulent on ...
If they’re really going to make a movie about the Rathergate scandal, and base it on the ludicrous book by moonbat pseudo-journalist Mary Mapes, it’s going to be a bad joke. The Media Mob has learned that a team of Hollywood insiders is currently working on a screen adaptation ...

At Newsbusters, Noel Sheppard has a post about Tom Wolfe’s appearance on the Charlie Rose show; Wolfe’s comments about the Rathergate scandal are great: Tom Wolfe: Rather, 60 Minutes ‘Idiots’ for Airing Bush National Guard Story. CHARLIE ROSE: You are at the stage in your fourth decade where people ...

This is rich—Dan Rather pumping Scott McClellan for information about the White House’s secret plan to bring him down: When Scott Met Dan. RATHER: Is there a special operation in the White House or in the Executive Office Building next door to it that seeks to orchestrate, perhaps even ...
According to TVNewser, the judge in Dan Rather’s lawsuit against CBS has dismissed most of the case, leaving just the contract dispute. (Hat tip: Allahpundit.) In his lawsuit Rather claimed that the investigation into the Killian memos was biased, and that it did not prove the documents to be fakes. ...
Dan Rather claims that CBS is covering up a report by document examiner Erik Rigler that will prove the infamous Killian memos to be genuine. But CBS announced Wednesday that they will gladly turn that report over to Rather’s attorneys. Dan Rather’s efforts to get CBS to produce in ...
It looks like the judge in Dan Rather’s lawsuit against CBS may let the case go to trial. But the fascinating thing about this Associated Press article on the case is how they describe the Rathergate scandal—without even mentioning that it was based on fake documents. Rather was removed ...

I’m feeling the love from the Daily Kos Kommunity tonight, as they try again to resolve their cognitive dissonance about Dan Rather’s phony National Guard memos: Daily Kos: Rathergate: much more than meets the EYE. Note that most of this wordy Kos diary is lifted wholesale from today’s hagiographic New ...
Oh, Danny boy. Still claiming the Killian memos were “authentic.” Man, that must be a heavy burden, to relentlessly cling to an obvious fiction in front of the whole world. Dialogue: Dan Rather. The Hollywood Reporter: If this goes to court, in order for CBS to win they would ...
Dan Rather’s “fake but accurate” lawsuit against CBS has left CBS executives “mystified.” Today, in New York Supreme Court, in response to Dan Rather’s civil lawsuit, CBS filed a lengthy 30-page motion to dismiss the case. CBS executives also released a statement today, noting that they are “mystified” by ...
Oh, by the way, Dan Rather is a liar. Surprised? He claimed that he wasn’t the one who gave final approval to air the infamous faked National Guard memos—but Drudge has an excerpt from Howard Kurtz’s book (which I’ll bet doesn’t mention LGF) that shows how much Rather had invested ...
Karl Rove’s evil, mind-bending tentacles have apparently penetrated every corner of the universe. He’s even got Roger L. Simon fooled.

The far left’s campaign to rehabilitate the CBS Killian memos and attack the bloggers who discredited them is in full bloom today, as Sidney Blumenthal makes a ludicrous, stupid accusation in an article for Salon.com: Dan Rather stands by his story. Within minutes of the conclusion of the broadcast, ...

Speaking of historical revisionism, idiot leftists are continuing their campaign to rewrite Wikipedia entries about the phony Rathergate documents; to date, their edits have been quickly reverted to the truth, but they just keep coming back with more nonsense. Here’s the latest attempt, which took place today: Dan Rather - ...
