CBS to admit memo's are fake...

"CBS News plans to issue a statement, perhaps as early as today, acknowledging that it was misled on the purported National Guard memos the network used to charge that President Bush received favored treatment 30 years ago.

"The statement would represent a huge embarrassment for the network, which insisted for days that the documents reported by Dan Rather on "60 Minutes" are authentic. But the statement could also help defuse a crisis that has torn at the network's credibility.

...

"The statement was still being hammered out last night after Rather went to Texas to tape an interview with Bill Burkett, the retired Guard official widely believed to have helped provide "60 Minutes" with the memos. Burkett, who has urged Democratic activists to wage "war" against Republican "dirty tricks," would not comment in an e-mail to The Washington Post on whether he had been CBS's confidential source."

It will admit that "it was misled", not that it misled people.

In other news, CBS admits the world is round and that we live in a heliocentric system.

The player in that image really sucks. He doesn't have his Gems hooked up, he has carefully avoided a spot with a flood plains wheat square (that gives enough food to easily create a 4-turn settler pump) and he has clearly mismanaged his expansion. His play is simply abysmal.

Even worse, the player is using CivIII instead of CivII.

He also is clearly a cheater, because he has Keshiks, which come with Chivalry, which has prerequisites Feudalism and Monotheism, but he clearly does not have Monotheism yet, given that he is researching it.

CBS - Can't Be Serious

It will be interesting to see if they trot out the 80 year old secretary and claim that while the memo's were faked, they are still right with the story because she says so.

CBS has bungled this one about as much as you can. While they were stupid in the first place, their action afterward have just made them look even dumber.
