    Dan Rather isn't the only one...

    Well Dan Rather isn't the only one to do news about a candidate and not have it be real. Now it's Fox New's turn. Link

    Comments if any???

    So they caught him admitted it and reprimanded the reporter while CBS Denied, denied, denied and has done nothing to Rather. Yep, I can see the similarities!

    Oh yeah, the anchor versus a beat reporter.

      Lol, The Onion should recruit that reporter. The quotes were hilarious, but the thing is, I could actually see Kerry saying those things to get votes. I thought anybody could beat Bush, until Kerry came along.

      It reminds me of a story last year I wrote for our school newspaper made almost entirely up of Zoolander quotes. It was a story on the Emo stereotype, and it was on a friend of mine that's also obsessed with Zoolander and thought it would be a funny story.

              At least FOX came out and said admitted they made a mistake.

                  Umm... did I say anything comparing this to CBS outside of Dan Rather's name? I just said that Dan Rather isn't the only one getting into trouble over stuff they shouldn't have done. It's nice to know that I've been stereotyped. Jesus H Christ.

                    Not stereotyping you bro. It just shows how CBS should have handled the forged documents!

                      If I have time today, I'll retype it on the computer. Unless you're a big fan of Zoolander, you probably won't think it's funny.

                        "Hitler isn't the only one...", followed by a link to a story about a bomb accidently hitting the wrong house in Iraq is a comparison.

                        The implication was fox is like CBS. The two situations are so different they shouldn't even be in the same conversation.

                        Try posting any comentary rather than just copy/pasting a link if you want to avoid confusion.

                          Hmmmm spoof article vs. serious journalistic new show...

                          I guess if you're a liberal I could see the similarities.

                          Interesting to note though, FOX immediately disciplined their guy, CBS stonewalled a la Watergate on theirs....

                          man the liberals are getting desparate

                              Poor Dan,
                              He and I are brethren Alumni and the school we both graduated from has a building named after him for the RTV undergrads. He's a fellow bearkat but some of this stuff recently as well as the vietnam report he filed in '88 has made me doubt him. I gave him a bennifit of a doubt but now.....
