Methinks the blogs are winning. So far both NYT (foggy)and LAT (better) have articles moving away from the CBS’s “Its true because we and our experts said so” line.

No Disputing It: Blogs Are Major Players

“Absolutely, positively, on my own, sitting at my computer in my bedroom just before midnight but not in my pajamas,” he wrote in an e-mail exchange with The Times. “But once I posted the comment to Free Republic I was no longer working alone, and that is the real point of the story about the story about the story.”

As I’ve said before:

The problem for the AWOL club is that they are unable (so far) to definitively clear the documents (not even taking on all of the other technical failures of same), and when they try to run to a he said/she said type of argument (as Rather did with Hodges) they run smack dab into the widow, the son, the daughter of Barnes, and now Hodges all claiming that:

1. They don’t believe the memos are real

2. CBS played dirty tricks on them

3. CBS spiked their stories

4. And a host of details like Staudt’s timeline that throw suspicion.

How long can Rather and CBS stand up against this storm? Great drama awaits …
