CBS Taking Seriously

Looks like CBS is running scared now. Matt Drudge is reporting that CBS has started an internal review over the obvious forgeries.

CBS NEWS executives have launched an internal investigation into whether its premiere news program 60 MINUTES aired fabricated documents relating to Bush's National Guard service, the DRUDGE REPORT has learned.

"The reputation and integrity of the entire news division is at stake, if we are in error, it will be corrected," a top CBS source explained late Thursday.

The source, who asked not to be named, described CBSNEWS anchor and 60 MINUTES correspondent Dan Rather as being privately "shell-shocked" by the increasingly likelihood that the documents in question were fraudulent.

I would hope that Rather is shell-shocked. They should be ashamed that it took the blogsphere all of 24 hours to do the job the news division should have been doing.
