Dan Does It Again (Fake Draft Report)
2004-09-30
Via Instapundit. Severely EFL - read the whole thing at the link.
Money graph:

Instead, Dan Rather runs with what amounts to an unpaid ad for the Kerry-Edwards ticket.

Is he a moron, incapable of learning anything from the forged-memo fiasco?

Or just a Democratic shill?

On reflection, what difference does it make?
OUCH! I felt that one from here. :-p

#3  Barbara, I think the most telling element of the story is how CBS tried to slip crossing-guard Beverly Cocco under the radar screen by portraying her as a "security mom." Here is some info from WND:

The website RatherBiased.com points out CBS described Beverly Cocco as a Republican who also is a "single-issue voter," failing to mention that she is chapter president of a group called People Against the Draft.

RatherBiased.com says that after it debunked the story, the CBS News website quietly changed the online article, adding Cocco's affiliation.

People Against the Draft portrays itself as "nonpartisan," RatherBiased.com notes, but its leadership appears to have no Republicans.

The group's domain is registered to Jacob Levich, a left-wing activist who in a 2001 essay compared the Bush administration to the totalitarian regime portrayed in George Orwell's "1984."


This is a ploy similar to portraying Birkett as an unimpeachable source.

#2  I agree, CF. Danno knows exactly what he's doing.

#1  I dont think Dan had been 'snookered'. I think he is a willing participant.

Unless he is very, very stupid. I mean so stupid he can't tie his own shoes. And he isn't.
