re: #120 Charles Johnson

I don’t think so, because if they were deliberate fakes they would tried harder to conceal it. It would not have been hard to dig up a manual typewriter to create the docs, and then we might never have known.

You don’t plant fake documents that are so easy to spot. It still amazes me that no one in the CBS News editorial chain ever picked up on the fact that no typewriter could do that.

AFAIK-If the memo had been contrary to their view of Bush it would have been scrutinized at length. But it was in agreement with the Bush=bad template of the day, so it got a cursory peek and then airtime. And had “legs” as a story. Ratings bias. Typical major media attitude.
