Charles may not have been a total RWNJ but there were plenty of others here who really, really were and they contributed to the rep LGF had. And admittedly a lot were pissed over Rathergate which did not help.
Personally after everything settled down Charles was right, and I think the doc was a forgery and CBS/Dan Rather took a big hit running with it. But that being said, this site had a “come to Jesus” meeting so to speak and things are way different.
I wish I had been here to witness the great flouncing since it sounds like it was pretty epic.
