Seeing it looks a lot like Dan Rather and CBS have taken the liberty of
creating news as opposed to reporting it, I was hoping someone could post a
complete list of their sponsors. I think some of us would like to abstain
from supporting them until Dan is fired.

Here is a partial list:

http://www.cbs.com/sales/

Chevy and P&G including the Chevy Colorado, the Chevy Malibu Max, and the
Chevy Equinox. P&G brands included CoverGirl, Tide, Crest and Oil of Olay.

American Express

Corona

St. Ives

Chrysler

Monster.com

Clairol

Yes, I love boycotts.

How about firing and boycotting all media for getting swept up into the Bush
admins war propaganda and smuggly saying Iraq was developing weapons of mass
destruction?

Ever since this retardlican administration has taken power, news reporting
has been turned upside down.

Okay, and how about Egypt, Saudi, France, Spain et. al. itellegence agencies
that said Saddam had WMD? Oh, right . . . we shouldn't believe anything
coutries say since the knowledge the likes of France, Germany and Russia
were getting paid off by Saddam. Too bad we didn't know they were corrupt
before Iraq. What a shame.

I see, it's the adminstration's fault that Dan and CBS are apparently
distorting the news! Right, of course . . . how could I not see that
coming?

Good idea. I've seen those same brands advertised on Fox, so we

CBS says, and you haven't shown otherwise, that the story is accurate.
The carping about fonts and superscript was demonstrated inaccurate; some
typewriters have had that capability since 1968, including the one used to
type the documents Bush himself released. Or do you say those are forgeries
too?

Are you suggesting a boycott because CBS is partisan?
Why not the Moonie Times?
The WSJ?
The LA Times?
Clear Channel Communications?
Fox News?
The Chicago Tribune?
The New York Post?
The Hartford Courant?
The Miami Herald?
The Atlanta Constitution?
The Fort Worth Star-Telegram?
The Houston Chronicle?

Is all you know lies?

There were no payoffs. France has long done business with Iraq. But, then,
so did we. Russia inherited an alliance with the Baaths from the cold war.
Germany used to get a sizable chunk of their oil from Iraq, so they didn't
have to do business with Russia.
They aren't corrupt, they're sovereign, fool.

> and you haven't shown otherwise, that the story is accurate.

Well, the circumstantial evidence is petty overwhelming. Three of the
documents are perfect replicas of the same letter typed out on MS Word, a
CBS official said that the documents were never authenticated, the 'th' was
raised, the person who would have typed them said her typewriter did not
have that ability and the guy who supposedly wrote them was out of the
Service on the date the letters were written. I am sure that is not enough
evidence for you, but for the rest of us it is pretty good.

Yeah, but we stopped when sanctions were placed on Saddam.

So sanctions from the UN really mean nothing? What's the point then?

No, signing a document saying you will do something then doing it anyway may
be sovereign, but it is also corrupt, Edw. Shall I site the definition of
both words for you, or can you do that on your own?

By your lack of response to this, I guess you agree that blaming Bush for
CBS's indiscretions is really a joke. Thank you.

Awe, what's samatta Mr. N, am I getting under your skin? The facts sure are
difficult things to face, I am sure. That's okay, I'll learn you young man.

"mediamatters.org"? Gee, with all the bickering amongst the networks and
cable news today, you'd think they'd pick up on this. Hmm, I wonder why? I
mean, if even an once of what this site alleges is based in truth, I am sure
one of the networks would report it like gospel. Particularly considering
the liberties Dan and CBS have taken. Maybe you can answer that one for me.

I'll be waiting for your answer in both threads.

Believe it or not 172 Democratic Congressman voted for a bill that BUSH
wanted bad yesterday. The bill pushed by anti-labor republicoon Oxley
of Ohio( ask anyone about this a$$hole), makes it legal for an illegal
alien to use any foreign issued id in a banking transaction in the USA.

So any friggin' drug dealer, theif, smuggler, terrorist, you name
it...now has free access to American banks and the American financial
system---that's more freedom than you have as an American citizen!

Sweeney, Trumka, Stern, the whole bunch of fatboys better get their

So one typewriter turned out documents that match modern software, and
that's remarkable?
This secretary remembers 30 years later what her typewriter did? That's
solid?
The fellow who wrote the letters did not write them on the date they were

Foreign powers do not set our agenda. Bush is singularly responsible for
launching the Iraqi Debacle. Congress should be hung from the Lincoln
monument for violating their oath of office and permitting yet another
foreign war without the Constitutionally mandated Declaration of War.

But Bush is chief executive who was pounding the drumbeat of war. It is
solely his responsibility and he must pay for misleading the American
people.

You have it backwards. Bush is but the puppet being controlled by the
same powers that control the media.

I disagree, but I think this is a fair statement.

How did he mislead the American people?

If this was true, then why would there be a controversy? Why would the
"powers" controlling both entities allow Rather to do such a thing?

Uh, by attempting to link Iraq to al Qaeda and making up reason after
reason for war, beginning with the "existence" of WMDs.

To detract from the pathetic job as President that Bush has done.

So the fact that Al-Zwarhari, OBL's deputy, was sent to Iraq because he was
wounded in Afghanistan and is now beheading Americans and the fact that
there are correspondence found between Saddam and OBL is not enough
evidence? What more do you want? And the whole world agreed that Saddam
had WMD, hence the 17 resolutions. The last of which guaranteed "serious
consequence" of non-compliance. But I guess to the liberal world and the
corrupt UN, 'serious consequences' means another piece of paper. Great.

Right, of course. Bush wants the world to think he neglected his duties in
the National Guard. Gezz you guys are desperate.

By telling the people and the Congress that he needed a resolution to AVOID
WAR! That he needed the resolution to get the inspectors back into Iraq.
Then rather than going back to the U.N. as was required in the resolution he
told the inspectors that they had to LEAVE Iraq because he was going to bomb
the hell out of it with his "Shock and Awe" campaign. Nice euphemism for
killing thousands of innocent Iraqi women, children, and men - young and
old. The Resolution REQUIRED Bush et al to have PROOF of immanent threat
and WMD. He LIED! He LIED! And he continues to LIE!

Why did congress give him authority to attack then? After 17 resolutions,
what the solution to the problem? ANOTHER RESOLUTION? Come on. In a post
9-11 world, if a US president with the backing of Congress (yes, both Kerry
AND Edwards) that a madman such as that of Saddam must comply with
Resolution #17, then that President must follow though. Zell said it best:
"From John Kerry, they get a "yes-no-maybe" bowl of mush that can only
encourage our enemies and confuse our friends."

But in 1998, long before the war Kerry said about Saddam and WMDs:

John Kerry, 23 February 1998: "Saddam Hussein has already used these
weapons and has made it clear that he has the intent to continue to try,
by virtue of his duplicity and secrecy, to continue to do so. That is a
threat to the stability of the Middle East. It is a threat with respect
to the potential of terrorist activities on a global basis. It is a
threat even to regions near but not exactly in the Middle East."

Kerry was already convinced that Saddam had WMDs before Bush was President.

And after we took Saddam out Kerry says:
"I think it was the right decision to disarm Saddam Hussein, and when
the President made the decision, I supported him, and I support the fact
that we did disarm him."
--John F. Kerry (ABC News, 5/4/03)

But now he keeps screaming about it was the wrong war, at the wrong,
time, in the wrong place.

Flip-flop, flip-flop, flip-flop, flip-flop.

Now he says the war in Iraq has nothing to do with fighting terrorism,
but in the statement above he said, "It is a threat with respect to the
potential of terrorist activities on a global basis."

Flip-flop, flip-flop, flip-flop, flip-flop.

Kerry will say today whatever necessary to get a vote , even if he has
to say the exact opposite tomorrow to get another vote. Flip-flop,
flip-flop, flip-flop, flip-flop.

"I stand by all the misstatements that I've made." - John F. Kerry
