I really can't believe that the other news outlets arn't destroying CBS on that point.

If "substance" is infact more important than "authanticity" then un-named sources could make-up/forge memo's, confessions from dead sources, etc... concerning any any subject to bolster the forger's arguments.

What if a signed confession from Ted Kennedy from 30 years ago shows up? Or a letter from Bin Ladin stating that "Kerry must win the election or the Jihad is doomed to failure". Some might argue that the truth is in the fake memos, but would reporting the fakes as if they are legitimate be considered "fair" reporting?

Rather is finished in my book, but then I've thought that for a long time. In every crowd some want to believe, and Rather seems to cater to that segment.
