So is Shrub going to have to answer the questions

[liberal_in_GA]

about AWOL, or is every news outlet in the country going to keep pulling their respective puds over whether the documents are "forged" or not? Are there any updates on this?

I just need some good media news. I couldn't believe when I woke up this morning and saw that the SB Liars had an above-the-fold, righthand-side story on page 1. Just wrote another letter to the damn public editor....:puke:

[Catfight]

1. YES! America deserves the truth about our public servants! n/t

[spanone]

2. Classic KKKarl Rove technique. Divert the story to the messenger.

Bush won't answer shit. Watch and see.

[cthrumatrix]

7. then the message is .... don't vote for him...

[luaneryder]

3. Hopefully, CBS will follow up

on the questions Dan posed last night. Screw the memos; I want answers to the questions.

[RDL]

4. Nope

Time to raise the terra alert

[Beetwasher]

5. I Doubt It...He Can't Answer Them So He Won't

And the media is doing it's damndest to change the subject to shooting the messenger...It's insane and frightening to see this happening. We're truly through the looking glass.

6. the whores don't have their favorite excuse anymore

they like saying "we don't ask these questions, because the democrats aren't making it an issue..."

Well, sorry Miss Bumiller...

8. Did anyone see ABC News last night?

I know most of us were watching Dan Rather, but I found this interesting bit over at dailykos:

The main news outlets, including ABC World News (which I caught) are backing CBS. Thanks to our diarists for their hard work. But let's not get distracted by the trees and lose sight of the forest. Now it's time to ask the WH to answer the charges. This story is  very much alive.

If true, it would be a clear (and encouraging) switch for ABC, no?

10. Yes it would...

I hope they're all shamed into action by Rather's intrepid reporting.

And when is the Texans for Truth "reward ad" supposed to air? That should make some news...

[City Lights]

11. Last I heard, it was supposed to air yesterday.

I avoided most television yesterday due to the Dan Rather/John Kerry bashfests, so I can't say whether it aired or not. It's supposed to be airing here in Phoenix, so I'll have to turn on the television today and watch for it.

9. he`s never had to answer

for anything in his life-why would he start now? history will not be kind to little georgie....
