First the idiots at CBS now this:

An official at Fox News Channel said that one of its political reporters has been disciplined for posting a fake news item on its website about Democratic presidential candidate John Kerry

Though IMO, what CBS did wasmuch worse...

Ok I have been living under a rock, what did CBS do?

Did anyone besides an obsessed blogger or 2 see the Fox article online?

I mentioned this in the "presidential debates" thread.

It's amazing how CBS can stand there and continue to say the docs are true, and nothing happens, and then Fox corrects their error right away.

You under that rock with Fildien Toggan :):

CBS News anchor Dan Rather, the reporter of the story, apologized (http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2004/09/20/politics/main644546.shtml), while CBS News said the story was a mistake (http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2004/09/20/politics/main644539.shtml) and promised to name an investigative panel.

They aren't claiming the docs are still good. Not that it matters what they say at this point...all their credibility is gone, what little they had anyways. :)

"they" aren't claiming the docs are legit, but Dan Rather is still standing by them, and "they" have all gotten past it by saying "the documents were forged, but the accusations were accurate" Complete and utter bullshit.

Complete and utter bullshit
I agree.....coming from a outlet with zero credibility. Whether you belive the charges or not, CBS has no ground saying anything like that at this point.

*crawls back under the rock*

Thanks for the info, I had no clue.

Hey! Who stole my rock?! It was nice under there...
