To be clear
This concept that Yeah, sure those memos are fake but that’s not the real story is rather lame. Sure, Bush was a half-assed guardsman. But who cares? These are two separate issues. The second, and I think more important issue, is that CBS ran a story based on weak information. They even knew it was weak beforehand or they wouldn’t have interviewed the document expert before the forgery allegations surfaced. Then, in spite of the evidence, they cling to their weak story.
That’s what’s important.
