Dan Rather stands by his story
His lawsuit will attempt to show that CBS tried to suppress the report on Bush's National Guard Service and the Abu Ghraib abuses.
By Sidney Blumenthal [2007-09-27]

  • YOU GO, DAN!

    I read both Blumenthal's article today, and William Rivers Pitt's article yesterday in truthout on Dan Rather's lawsuit. You go, Dan! I certainly believe that the so-called "forged" documents were planted by the right-wing, in a successful attempt to lead the public astray on the truthfulness of the Rather story. There's absolutely no question that Bush avoided military service during the early 70s, and was AWOL from his service in 1972.

    The question for me is, how do we turn off the Right Wing Noise Machine, (RWNM) which continues to shape the Mainstream Media's (MSM) view of the world, even today, even after the 2006 elections? There is ample evidence of their complicity in at least a half dozen "stories" that turn out to be blatant falsehoods, and, yet, the MSM continues to listen to them, FIRST, before consulting the actual truth-tellers today, the so-called "left-wing" blogosphere.
