Powerline dissects 60 minutes again

Powerline came to fame as the blog which played the biggest role in exposing the the documents used by CBS 60 minutes regarding Bush’s Air Guard service as likely fakes. Dan rather and others lost their jobs over their part in a story where their desire to get someone they didn’t like over-rode all the normal checking of facts and authenticity.

Well Power Line may have just done it again. Read this masterful dissection of another 60 Minutes programme.

The CBS programme allaged that Karl Rove requested an Alabama lawyer to follow (now jailed) Democratic Alabama Governor Don Siegelman around and try to get photos on him in bed with a female aide.

Read the Power Line post which powerfully raises huge questions over the credibility of the woman making the allegations. CBS better hope for their own sake they have improved their standards since the last time.
