And the fun continues for CBS

Bit, by bit, by bit ...

Retired Maj. General Hodges, Killian's supervisor at the Grd, tells ABC News that he feels CBS misled him about the documents they uncovered. According to Hodges, CBS told him the documents were "handwritten" and after CBS read him excerpts he said, "well if he wrote them that's what he felt."

Hodges also said he did not see the documents in the 70's and he cannot authenticate the documents or the contents. His personal belief is that the documents have been "computer generated" and are a "fraud".

UPDATE: By bit ...

AUSTIN, Texas - (KRT) - The man named in a disputed memo as exerting pressure to "sugar coat" President Bush's military record left the Texas Air National Guard a year and a half before the memo was supposedly written, his own service record shows.

Link for Sava -P.S. Are you getting these already?

I laughed at The Weekly Standard. It still amazes me that anyone takes that trash seriously. The people who run it are cretins, and prove it again and again in their media appearances.

Funny, I was just thinking the same thing about CBS...

It's amusing that some people believe 'The Weekly Standard' is trash and 'The Guardian' is news. Makes me wonder if they've ever read The Standard.

CBS is stodgy and old, but not bent. The WS is a radical nutbar magazine that thinks it is in the mainstream. When I've bothered to read it, I have wanted to smash the **** out of the idiot columnists for their stupidity.

At least Counterpunch and ZMag don't present themselves as being mainstream - and no one in office listens to them anyway (thank God).

It's not as good as it used to be, but the Grauniad is a real newspaper (albeit a centre left paper). The WS is a political pamphlet.

The difference is that the Grauniad isn't designed to be the mouthpiece of some fringe political movement - it's a paper which has politics, not a political campaign masking itself as a paper.

Yeah, right.

[Agathon]

Are you saying it isn't a newspaper?

Right wing tabloids are still newspapers - they do attempt to separate reportage from editorial. One of the finest columnists in Canada, Eric Margolis, writes for the Toronto Sun, which is about the worst paper in Canada.

The Guardian is like that. i.e. a newspaper.

The WS is a fringe political magazine, like ZMag or Counterpunch.

I'm saying that it definetly is a 'political campaign masking itself as a paper'. The Guardian seems to combine the reportage and the editorial into one.

And btw, political magazines can be going for attempted objectivity just as much as mainstream news sources. All you have to do is to take a look at 'Time' or 'Newsweek' in the US, which definitely separate the reporting from the editorials in content and procedure..

Hardly, it's a left leaning newspaper, but you will often find dissenting articles published within. That it is mildly leftish in a fuzzy sort of way is about the limit of it.

Time and Newsweek are detestable rags, but they aren't particularly partisan. The WS is, like the Nation (except that the people who write for the Nation are smarter and more literate).

The right better stick with militarism for the time being, as their economic ideas have been so thoroughly discredited.

[Ogie Oglethorpe]

Yawn.

Your continued claims of victory Aggie are more than tiring, Please spam eslewhere.

Memos uncovered and touted by Rather's team appear to have been written in Microsoft Word, the experts said - a computer program that did not exist at the time Bush was in the Guard.

how can you tell that a printed document was written on a pc, and more specifically with which application?!?!?!?!?!?
