Right Wing Double Standard
Remember how the right-wingers wanted to tar and feather Dan Rather after he was apparently duped by possibly forged documents? Will they summon up the same level of righteous indignation toward Fox News, for "accidentally" getting duped by a bogus communist group? Will it matter to thee right-wing zealots that the site that fooled their lap-dog has an "About Us" link that explains that it is a satirical 527 run by the Hellgate Republican Club?
Anybody who watches Fox News for news is willfully seeking out propaganda. Anybody who watches Fox News for entertainment value, though, may have a point . . .
Thanks to the indispensable Eschaton!

To be clear. CBS WAS in trouble for simply being wrong. There were conservatives calling for their heads before the first expert even glimpsed the papers. Secondly, the papers have yet to be inequivocally proven false, so if CBS really is holding back until the papers are PROVEN false, then they still haven't revokded their initial report.
I join Dan in waiting to see if conservatives jump on Fox for this, or if they instead sit back and prove themselves to be hypocrites.
