\n

Now, I don\u2019t think CBS has all of a sudden realized they\u2019ve got little liberals watching out there and they\u2019ve got to service them. I don\u2019t think that\u2019s happened at all. I think it\u2019s more and more arrogance. But the real answer is this, in my humble opinion. The real answer is this: They can\u2019t. They can\u2019t admit that these docs are forgeries. Well, they “can\u2019t produce the originals.” The reason they can\u2019t produce the originals is because that would ID their source, and if as many people speculate the source is the Kerry campaign, a prominent Democrat, somebody at MoveOn.org or somebody like that, if that\u2019s the case, if CBS does anything to ID that these docs came from a high ranking Democrat influential in the Kerry campaign, what it means is Dan Rather\u2019s career is over that day. It means CBS\u2019 reputation is finished for a long time that day, and on that day the Kerry campaign officially is defeated. It\u2019s over. They can\u2019t ever admit this. That\u2019s why they\u2019re going to go to the mat for as long as they have to, claiming their experts say, “Why, the documents are real! We don\u2019t have the originals. We\u2019ve done the best we can, so it\u2019s up to you who disagree with us to prove that we\u2019re wrong.”<\/line> That\u2019s the stand that they\u2019re taking, because I\u2019m telling you, my friends, if — a capital “if,” — if these documents went to CBS from anybody that has any connection whatsoever to the planning, orchestration, fund-raising, strategizing of the Democratic Party or the Kerry campaign, if that ever got out that CBS admitted that, it\u2019s all over. I mean, they would not be able to go forward. It would be the end of Rather that day. It would be the end of the Kerry campaign. So you might say what they\u2019re engaged in is protecting themselves and the Kerry campaign right now. If that\u2019s where these came from — and where else are these forged documents come from? A lot of people trying to figure it out, but there are no experts that are supporting this case now that CBS continues to make. <\/line>This is why a lot of people are going to continue after this, by the way, precisely because of what it would mean to learn just who got these forged documents or who gave them to CBS, just what is that connection. But that\u2019s why I don\u2019t think CBS will ever admit it, no matter what you do. I can\u2019t imagine the kind of pressure that needs to be brought to bear. There may be something, but just in my crystal ball that\u2019s the last step they would take. They could have taken as the first step and maybe save themselves. But not now, not after three newscasts of utter denial with Rather going out there blaming — You know, Rather wants us to believe him because he\u2019s Dan Rather. “I\u2019m Dan Rather, and those are the only facts you need.” It doesn\u2019t cut it anymore, Dan. That\u2019s the whole point. It doesn\u2019t cut it anywhere. It doesn\u2019t matter if Peter Jennings said, “There is no more Edward R. Murrow.” Not in the mainstream press, anyway. There is no CBS Tiffany network. You don\u2019t have it. It doesn\u2019t exist anymore.<\/line>BREAK TRANSCRIPT <\/line><\/p>\n

RUSH: Let\u2019s not forget this. If CBS IDs the source of the documents, that source is either a forger or linked to a forger, which is a felony. And if that person is in (interruption). Oh, yeah. Impersonating. You would have criminal charges for forgery, document fraud. Impersonating a federal officer, possibly. So, if the source of these docs is ID\u2019d by CB — I mean, folks, you can\u2019t imagine. It would be like somebody taking out Archduke Ferdinand and World War I starting as far as the age-old establishment of the media goes. Somebody wrote a piece today that the Giants are the last to know that they\u2019re about to fall, and all these world powers and all these empires thought that they were sustainable and nobody could harm \u2019em, and in some schlub came along and shot Archduke Ferdinand and bam-o! World War I starts and the whole world order is rearranged. (Interruption) Well, yeah, but they\u2019re doing the best thing they can on the short leash here, but this is ultimately not survivable. <\/line> Somebody is going to find out what happened. You know, this is Nixonian. I can\u2019t get over the fact that they have become at CBS what they hated. They\u2019re engaged in a cover-up now that is far (worse than the original event). There\u2019s the way out of there; Pat Caddell is right: “I\u2019m sorry. We made a mistake.” You know how the American people just slobber over anybody who admits remorse for anything. If they\u2019d have just said that, but they can\u2019t. I mean, they\u2019re not going to be the ones to do it. Somebody is going to find out how this happened. It is going to take place. There are too many people that want to know, and there\u2019s no way CBS can stop it. There is no media monopoly anymore, but I don\u2019t know how long it\u2019s going to take, but when I say they\u2019re doing the only thing they can do I\u2019m speaking euphemistically. The only thing a cornered rat can do is continue to try to bite you. You know, a cornered rat doesn\u2019t give up, but it doesn\u2019t make the cornered rat right, doesn\u2019t make the cornered rat doing the right thing. It just means the cornered rat is doing all it can do at that moment.<\/line>END TRANSCRIPT<\/line><\/p>\n
