“Having watched the MSM in action the last few days, I wonder if they’re deluded enough to try a Reichstag fire.

Brooks”

I think they’ve already started their first one, but their pajamas are the only things burning right now.

Seriously, I am troubled by the current DNC line – so what if they’re forgeries, the story they tell is part of the “bigger truth” (whatever that is). Going down that road is truly a formula for tearing this country apart. If forgeries are somehow OK (but not worth admitting to) then really anything, no matter how corrupt, goes.

Just think how this could have been handled – on Friday CBS says ‘Oops, we made a big mistake. We apologize to the President and to our viewers.’ The story would have died very quickly. Now, however as long as CBS continues to dig its heels in, one can only expect similiar (although perhaps more cleverly done) conduct from them, and perhaps others in the Democratic media, which leaves the country truly polarized, not about partisan politics, but about the need for integrity in our lives. And with a great number of us will be extremely angry to say the least.

I do fear another ‘Reichstag fire’ from somewhere in the Democratic media. For that reason I really wish President Bush would make an announcement on this – expressing his disappointment at CBS’s refusal to acknowledge their ‘mistake’, and perhaps mentioning in passing that as Gary Killian (sp) said, he did volunter to go to Vietnam for Operation Palace (not sure that’s the correct name), but couldn’t because his type of planes weren’t needed (or whatever the reason was).
