Fox News up in arms over Dan Rather, CBS
http://feeds.bignewsnetwork.com/?sid=bb39ac58ce08ae41

Fox News has seen fit to tear CBS and Rather from limb to limb but hasn't raised the slightest question about some of the more outrageous uses of misleading, false, or negligently produced documents, relied upon and used by a parade of public figures, that have had extremely serious ramifications. Fox, like other media, in fact broadcast these claims, often live, without questioning the validity of the documents and information used by the authors. Nor has Fox solicited resignations or sackings from any of the parties that prepared or relied upon those documents. Neither have there been any.

Seems there is a bit of a war going on between Fox and CBS

looks like Dan isn't going anywhere HA HA HA!!!!!!

1. Add msnbc to that war too
At least for the hour that Olbermann is on. KO even has a "Countdown to O'Reily" clock during his shows. Big war going on there.

Lets hope the other networks circle the wagons and force Faux to surrender to the truth about themselves soon.

2. For God's sake Let it go!
It was an unfortunate mistake that should never have happened, but like you said the damage done by this pales in comparison to ducuments about yellow cake uranium.

3. the article is very supportive of Rather.
Thornburgh and The Boocardi guy have opened up a can of worms.

4. FAUX NEWS IS A CONTRADICTION IN TERMS...
They are a reichwing propaganda machine, nothing else. There is no news being reported there that isn't completely spun, so why bother listening. I want that BS, I'll go down to a GOP community meeting.
