CBS Appoints 2-Man Panel to Investigate Guard Report From the article: "CBS announced yesterday that Dick Thornburgh, a former attorney general, and Louis D. Boccardi, a former top executive of The Associated Press, would investigate the journalistic breakdowns that led to the broadcast of a flawed "60 Minutes" report about President Bush's National Guard service. While the network characterized the two men as constituting an independent panel, Mr. Thornburgh's appointment upset Dan Rather, the anchor who broadcast the report and initially vouched for documents at its heart, according to four colleagues and associates. Mr. Rather considers Mr. Thornburgh a confounding choice in part because he served two Republican presidents, Mr. Bush's father, and Richard M. Nixon, with whom Mr. Rather publicly clashed, the colleagues and associates said. " Sooo cBS appoints these guys to find out what went wrong... Can we get a big duh here? DUHHH What went wrong depends on how you look at it. From Dan Blabbers POV he got caught, that's what went wrong. From cBS's POV mainly the fact they have been exposed as the lying news making up biased loving media hos they are probably didn't sit well with them. All in all can we say: KARMA. I looooove how they insisted on calling it a "flawed" report. By all means don't candycoat it for us cBS- we can take it. Flawed? How 'bout forged, faked, fabricated, falsified, fiction, falsity; need I go on?
