I still like CBS 60 Minutes II
As of 9/22/04 things have stabilized temporarily in a precarious place for CBS and Rather.Investigators were chosen today and will probably unravel how and what happened. Still not at all clear who "doctored" the papers and why.
Well ... until CBS and Rather abjectly apologized on 9/20/2004, for making a big mistake I supported CBS 60 Minutes II for having the courage to air the segment about the favoritism and abuse of power that got Bush into the Texas Air National Guard. We need more courage from more individuals and media to tell the stories that are out there. I will try to watch more CBS shows than before.
P.S. I met Rather many years ago when he was just beginning his career. If the documents he showed turn out to be forgeries, which I doubt, they could have been planted as a disinformation action to embarrass critics of Bush. Who the heck knows?
Here's some good information on the variables about the document authenticity controversy:

Atrios blog has a lot of information on the history of type faces to substantiate your belief as well.
Unfortunately, the docs are not the real thing. Jimmy Carter, however, on Larry King Live tonight, says the facts are not in dispute. Maybe the source of the docs, (Burkett, I think is his name) knew the facts to be true and had no better way of getting the story out than fudging some "evidence".
I agree, Tom. I saw Carter too. We will probably know what happened sooner or later, and I hope it turns out to be a dirty trick that boomerangs on Rove.
I agree Tom. Saw Carter too. We'll know sooner or later. If it was a dirty trick it will boomerang on them.
Sorry about the double posts. It takes a while for them to appear and I wasn't sure it went through.
