thanks CBS - for nothing.

You know what annoys me the most about this CBS nonsense? It's that nobody seems be paying attention to the fact that the available and undisputed facts seem to remain the same. Bush didn't show up for work for about six months and he failed to get a required medical exam to maintain flight status. In otherwords, at the very least, serving his country was not his top priority at the time. At the very worst, he may have been AWOL and clearly, allowed to get away with it. These documents, fake or otherwise, don't change that. Interestingly, every time Bush tries to answer these questions, his answer changes. I guess when George calles Kerry a flip-flopper, he is calling on the "takes one to know one" school of thinking.

CBS. Did they screw up, probably. They should have consulted a few more experts before they went public. But, that said, lets count how many ridiculously irresponsible stories were published in the 90's about the Clinton Administration. The press publishes first and fact-checks second. This has become standard operating procedure, thanks to the emergence of "news" sources like the Drudge Report and the American Spectator where facts, by all appearances, are not a priority. Conservative news sources seem to have perfected the art of throwing out whatever they can come up with to trash Democrats and when the truth comes out, not only do they manage to escape a sullied reputation (because their audience has no expectation of truth, only trash?) but they manage to do significant damage in the proces, regardless of being proven false.

Why do conservatives seem to be so good at this game and liberals so bad????
