WAS RATHER SET UP?

Liberals and the mainstream media have been recently pumping up this idea that these documents were planted by Republicans to discredit CBS News and John Kerry. CBS knows who gave them the documents. All they have to do is name the source and we can all decide for ourselves who he was working for.

The thing that's not being said by any of these media outlets is that this is not going to do CBS any harm. The public doesn't hold them up to some great standard. People are comfortable with the fact that the mainstream media has a bias and they expect it. This will just make it harder for them to keep a straight face as they speak of themselves as the "objective" media.

Further, we're going to see more of this kind of reporting in the future, not less. TV news has become pretty drab. This has given CBS more attention than they have had in years.
