Here's a good read about all this;

Ben Barnes is a DemocRATic co-chairman of Kerry's campaign.

Seems ol'Dan participated in a DemocRATic fundraiser while a CBS anchor.

Typical Neocon logic. No logic.



What's a neocon? So far all I can tell is that you define it as "anyone who
ever disagrees with me".

I suspect he didn't even READ the articles I listed.

Here's another from ABC,not exactly a "right wing" media source;

Didn't the Guard have letterhead back then?


Actually, probably not. I was a company clerk in the army somewhat
earlier, and I never saw letterhead paper. (Never saw superscripts or
centering, either!)

Someone called it "Rathergate" and I thought this was pretty funny, since
CBS attaches -gate to just about everything political.


It's astonishing how little play this story is getting. Compare how
excited the networks and the newspapers got about Republicans'
contributing (oh no!) to the Swifties advertising pot.

But here is CBS News, where Walter Cronkite once reigned, peddling
forgeries that very likely were created by the Kerry campaign. But
when you Google "CBS forgeries", the returns you get are all from
second-tier newspapers with Republican proclivities, like the New York
Post.

There was one good story in the Washington Post. (The post, for all
its overt partisanship, is a very honest newspaper.) I'd be very
grateful if anyone could point me to stories in the New Times or Los
Angeles Times, for example.

Come off it, Dan, anyone who used a typewriter knew the trick of lifting the
roller a smidge (or lowering it) for sub (or super) script. You must not have
ever typed footnotes.



The issue isn't the raised "th", but the fact that the "th" is written in a
smaller font as well.


From 1968 on SMC (Smith Corona) typewriters had two optional keyface
slots (shift one and shift +) for a number of optional letters, accents
and marks. I had section and paragraph marks on mine as I clerked in a
law office. "rd" and "nd" superscripts were also available.

Typical no answer answer.


Don't talk about non answers Art. You are the master at not answering
questions.

I ask you again...What is the difference between...Horse apples, Sheep pebbles
and Cow patties? You ought to be able to answer that one with ease.

I used to think so, but after reading their (Washington Post) reporting of
the take down of Saddam last year and comparing it to what was actually
happening, I was forced to conclude that they were either, dishonest, stupid
or covering a completly different war than I was watching.

As for CBS, I stopped watching them after they showed a "live" picture of
New York on 1/1/2000 in which they had digitally covered the NBC Studios
sign with a CBS sign. You can't trust people who knowingly falsify the news.
