BZZZZT! Try again. The White House distributed the memos ...

BZZZZT!! Wrong again mickeyboy, CBS faxed the memos to the White House.
Now go wipe you nose and finish you cookies and milk.



LOL!! Why don't you wipe "your" nose and finish "your" cookies and milk.
English and spelling are not your strong point.


But he did get his point across, did he not?



Here's an example: Les Locklear fax's me fake documents. I release said
documents to the public, indicating that they came from Les Locklear.

How does/or would that make me responsible in any way for the fact that they
were fakes?


Depends upon if you are touting the information in those documents as
being true are not. If you are touting the contents of the documents as
truth, you should be verifying the validy of the documents.

You wish you could dream it was false, but the articles keep coming.

Is It a Hoax?
Experts weigh in on the 60 Minutes documents. Says one: "I'm a Kerry
supporter myself, but . . . I'm 99% sure that these documents were
not produced in the early 1970s."

I wouldn't be surprised to find that 60 Minutes cast some lines about,
offering to pay for similar information and by doing so, set
themselves

up
for getting "werked"!

If they turn out to be forged, it would be a further indication that
60 minutes was willing to take the info and run without validating it.

Here's a suggested topic for a 60 Minutes expose on their own stafers:
Blinded by Bias!

And you're certainly not biased JD.


It's pretty unlikely that 60 Minutes "ran" with the story without a
fairly strenuous attempt to validate the documents. They might have
been wrong and it might turn out that the docs are plants, but 60
Minutes is regularly challenged by all quarters and I've got a feeling
that they go out of their way to vet anything they present as
"evidence."


From what I heard on the Radio (NPR), they asked the usual line of
questions, but didn't run the document past any typographers


then they lied.

(who would
have thought to?).


People who are regularly sued such as CBS.

In any event, I would be willing to bet that in the
future, if they are handed "the document of their dreams" similar to the
case at hand, it *will* get a typographical appraisal!

/sarcasm on
My bad - Who are we to question the integrity of (ahem) "unbiased" NPR or
60-Minutes reporters?
/sarcasm off


I don't care if they're CBS or CNN or FOX or NPR. If they lied they lied.
CBS Stated that the documents had been reviewed by independent document
authorities. Go to cbsnews.com.

Now I'm used to lies and near lies from FOX but I've got to hold CBS to a
higher standard because it is supposed to be actual News. 60 Minutes is
even advertised as a New program. So if they didn't get those documents
reviewed by bona fide experts, then they LIED.

I'm perfectly in the center. Take a look at my posts.

CBS said they submitted the documents to extensive examination by
experts before 'running' with the story, but nothing will convince the
conspiracy types.

Kerry was there. Was on the list of speakers, is in the FBI reports.
Nice try.


The photograph he is referring to has been proven to be a fake. The real
one shows Kerry sitting in a group behind Fonda, not standing next to
her.

Then we may have found a clue that someone traveled thru time, armed with the

Has *anyone* notified the Discovery Science channel yet !?!?

The 'Times New Roman' font has been used since 1931 according to
typography experts.

Well the photograph I'm referring to is not a fake. Kerry was there
according to the FBI reports as I said.

They are full of it. They also said if any information to the contrary
was available they would show it and they have not.
