Media Research Center Memogate Recap

Thank God for the Media Research Center. I usually wander into the MRC from a link in the Nuze, another daily must read.

Click and read for a great memogate recap: Nets Concede Memos May Be Fake, But Only After Reciting Them --9/10/2004-- Media Research Center.

It is gravely disturbing how the MSM are milking these memos for everything they're worth, even in the face of asymptotic certainty that they are forgeries. Imagine the legs this story would have if the forgers had taken the extra five minutes to find a typewriter - any typewriter, manual or electric, old or new - to create the memos. With the certainty of hand-typed memos' authenticity at, say, 10% rather than near 0%, the MSM would have trumpeted them as gospel. It is not clear to me that talk radio and blogs could have shouted down their authenticity in that case. Scary.
