CBS offers a "Report a Scam" page at it's web site.

I personally reported 60 Minutes II & Dan Rather as a SCAM.

Do you think they will investigate?

here is my reply to the CBS scams address..


Wednesday September 8th, 2004, CBS News aired a report based on forged documents and anonymous testimony(some recanted). The purpose of this scam was to further the political agenda of Dan Rather and his liberal leaning political bias. No contraction of these falsehoods has been made

Please do what you can to put the truth out in this matter and expose these scammers for what they are.

Sincerely

I'm trying to get this on the Sean Hannity radio show. I emailed powerline and Beldar. I also email the DOJ. I am so excited. The guy in Oklahoma received 3 years for impersonating an army officer at the site of a bridge collapse!!! This is excellent.

Let's roll.

LOL I am glad you found this e-mail for CBS


One of the major news organizations that support all things anti-americans is trying to get a communist sympathising murder conspiring, idiot elected by using forged documents and supporters of this idiot to trick Americans into believing that our esteemed commander in chief somehow didnt serve his time in the Air National Guard (part of the USAF - did you notice all the states names on the tails of the aircraft in the gulf?)

why dont you start investigating that ???

Thanks for the idea of reporting scams. I sent one too. Hope you don't mind, but I figure; they know we are watching.

count me in! I'm not as eloquent a writer as many but I speak from my heart. here is a copy of my e-mail:

Dear CBS "scam" department,

Oh my you are brave publishing this e-mail address. If you want evidence of a scam, look no further than your own backyard. Your refusal to admit to your own fraudulent irresponsible "reporting" (I use the term loosely) is about the most perfect example of a scam that I can cite.

You need to air a retraction and apologize to our president. If not, I predict someone at CBS will meet Martha Stewart in the Big house, along with Dan Rather. If you fail to take these 2 measures, your credibitlity as a "news" organization will be nonexistant, and your days will be numbered.

I suggest that you do the right thing, and expose the fraud.
I'm sure glad I am not in your shoes right now!

Peoria, IL

I now that this is going no where but the bit bucket, but I sent this anyway - it gave me a few giggles to write it and that's all that matters. Wink

Quote:

Definite scam

A pretty clumsy scam - raTHer reminiscent of the second-rate burglars at Watergate - but a scam nonetheless.

CBS and Dan RAthER have attempted to pull off a scam on the American people using forged and thoroughly discredited documents.

Despite the fact that every aspect of the existence of these documents has been proven beyond a shadow of a doubt to be fake, fraudulent and fictitious, Dan RAthER continues to stand by his story and insist that he is a credible journalist. (He was a credible "two-tour Marine" for a long time, too, wasn't he? LOL!)

Hurrah for the Blogosphere - sure beats the Fogosphere into which CBS has finally and definitively sunk itself.
