Apology?

CBS and Dan Rather have now massively back-pedaled on the authenticity of the documents. They claim they followed the highest journalistic standards in exposing these documents. BULL! If that were true, they would have verified the authenticity of the documents rather than taking the word of a person with an axe to grind. But no, because Bush is Republican, they have somehow excused themselves from having to uphold the same standard of journalistic excellence, and I use the term "excellence" very loosely here. I'm sure ABC and NBC are quite thankful (but thankful to whom?) that they didn't jump on the story, too. Jane Fonda was more sincere in her apology.

If only this would wake people up to the predations of the press, that objectivity only shows up in how they view themselves and nothing else.
