Yellow Journalism Indeed
So. CBS dumps four people as a result of Memogate, and rightly so, since it was all a fabrication. But Dan survived the axe, why?
As RatherGate.com noted earlier this week, anchorman Dan Rather has also refused to acknowledge that the memos are fakes. Quoting from the Panel's report:
Rather informed the Panel that he still believes the content of the documents is true because "the facts are right on the money," and that no one had provided persuasive evidence that the documents were not authentic.
No "persuasive evidence"? Dr. Newcomer's evidence is beyond persuasive; it's conclusive: The Bush "Guard memos" are forgeries. (The link is via Charles Johnson, who also has a long list of related posts here.)
If Danny had any integrity at all, he would resign, and not just from the evening news but from 60 Minutes too. But Danny has no integrity, and he would rather let the ladies to take the blame for what he did. How low can a man go and remain a man?
Dan, you make me sick.
