CBS News Changes Its Story-- AgainWithout noting previous error, CBS News slips in mention of Beverly Cocco's partisan connections to Parents Against the Draft This is sort of what I expected, but I'm still surprised. But Rathergate has a clip of the story as it actually aired-- no mention of an ideological affiliation, and they don't seem eager to correct the record. No mention about the sham emails CBS endorsed, but I expect we'll be seeing a rowback on that score shortly. Another rowback seen by at most thousands, when the actual dishonest broadcast was viewed by millions. This is a corrupt organization. I said it, I meant it-- corrupt. There are affiliate phone numbers and emails at the sidebar. It would probably be a good time to use them. Update: Protein Wisdom has some documents of its own to report. posted by Ace at 05:25 PM

I think NBC is about to hatchet the fuck out of the CBS story. Posted by: Joe R. the Unabrewer on September 29, 2004 06:33 PM
Eh, it wasn't so much a hatchet, but a mild debunking. Posted by: Joe R. the Unabrewer on September 29, 2004 06:36 PM

CBS: Putting the ANAL in analysis. Must be true, cuz only bullshit passes thru their signal. Posted by: Joan of Argghh! on September 29, 2004 08:46 PM
Here is what Unabrewer mentioned. On the one hand, they don't mention CBS at all. On the other hand, if you see the video, when they show the e-mail they stamp a giant red "BUNK" on it. The good news is that it is far more responsible journalism than at CBS. The bad news is no well-earned spanking for Rather. http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/6134043/ Posted by: Terry Notus on September 29, 2004 09:01 PM
If anyone at CBS had a pulse, they would have immediately (after the Killian memo fiasco) hired a blogger -- or at least, someone who has read blogs and has been around the internet for a few years, and has a passing knowledge of the "hoaxes" and how to verify (or at least raise flags about) questionable email. You know -- a college intern, or something. These people are dinosaurs. Posted by: cj on September 30, 2004 12:26 AM
Terry Notus: thanks for the MSNBC link. That was a fairly decent article. I may actually try watching the news sometime, if this keeps up. It would've been kinda nice if they'd pointed to some of the obvious warning signs in the email (friend who works there! did the email end with 'send this to everyone you know'?) and referenced some of the hoax-watching sites, but all in all not too bad. As for pointing more fingers at Dan Rather, I'm glad NBC did not. That sort of behavior is rarely wise on a news show. In fact, that's the behavior that has us all riled up, reaching conclusions instead of providing facts. Posted by: Persnickety on September 30, 2004 03:51 PM

Update on Scott Adams:
Scott Adams had approval for this cancer drug but they hadn't scheduled him to get it. He was taking a turn for the worse. Trump had told him to call if he needed anything, so he did. Talked to Don Jr (who is in Africa) , then RFK Jr, then Dr Oz. Someone talked to Kaiser and he was scheduled. Shouldn't have needed it but he did and he says it saved his life.

Schmoll: 53% of New Jersey likely voters say their neighbors are voting for Ciattarelli, while 47% say the cheater/grifter Mikie Sherrill
The "who do you think your neighbors are voting for" question is designed to avoid the Shy Tory problem, wherein conservative people lie to schmollsters because they don't want to go on record with a likely left-winger telling them who they're really voting for. So instead the question is who do you think your neighbors are voting for, so people can talk about who they themselves support without actually having to admit it to a left-wing rando stranger recording their answers on the phone.

Interesting football history: How the forward pass was created in response to the nineteen -- 19! -- people killed playing football in 1905 alone
The original rules of football did not allow forward passes. The ball was primarily advanced by running, with blockers forming lines with interlocked arms and just smashing into the similarly-interlocked defensive lines. It was basically Greek hoplite spear formations but with a semi-spherical ball. As calls to ban the sport entirely grew, some looked for ways to de-emphasize mass charges as the primary means of advancing the ball, and some specifically championed allowing a passer to throw the ball forward.
