Peter Posted September 22, 2004 Share Posted September 22, 2004 To me, one of the most troubling parts of the CBS saga is that the CBS producer actually put the source in touch with Kerry campaign people. Very odd . . . . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OnTheRocks Posted September 22, 2004 Share Posted September 22, 2004 apparently from what i heard on a news report this morning...and i don't even know who it was speaking... said that this producer (again, i don't have a name..) was stated to have been trying to get dirt on Bush and his service in the guard since 1999.

Peter Posted September 22, 2004 Author Share Posted September 22, 2004 Should we revisit the topic of where fraudulent documents become the story rather than the content of the documents? 41286[/snapback] Funny. Unlike you (apparently), I am more concerned about the character of the people running for president than I am about Dan Rather. Yet, as I repeatedly said, if Rather knowingly used fraudulent documents he should pay BIG TIME. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do care about mounting evidence that a major "news" organization has deliberatly used its airwaves to slant public opinion 45 days before an election by using falsified information.

How "liberal" of you. 41422[/snapback] Perhaps you are missing GG's point, which I share. Maybe I miss yours - if it's sarcasm, the printed word is notoriously poor at that. I believe he is speaking about a powerful dessiminator of information, with a degree of public trust, making an attempt to impact a process reserved for the citizenry. Terms from the turn of the century (19th) like muckraking and yellow journalism come to mind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think he means HE doesn't really care what a candidate did 30 years ago. I say let it all ride on everything... Doesn't matter who it is. I will sift through it. You make a mistake, admit and get on with it. The networks are only powerful in getting information out to the old. Change the way we vote and you would see the switch. What would your reaction to voting on Saturdays be? I don't want to live in a bubble. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But, that's just me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
