Dan Gilmore suggests that CBS should do a “60 minutes” on “60 minutes” to uncover the truth behind the memo scandal. See here.

Dan Rather did come around to apologizing, but that’s certainly not the end of the story

For the record, here is what the aboutface looked like:

I believe that the witnesses and the documents are authentic. We wouldn’t have gone to air if they would not have been. There isn’t going to be — there’s no — what you’re saying apology?

And then came:

“I find we have been misled on the key question of how our source for the documents came into possession of these papers,” he said. “We made a mistake in judgment, and for that I am sorry,” Rather added.

Bloggers will note the recurring theme behind this story, of the blogosphere vs the big media. See Jonah Goldberg’s article
Also, it’s good to see this controversy in the light of former CBS producer Bernard Goldberg’s book, BIAS. Goldberg recently suggested that Dan is behaving like Nixon, a president Mr. Rather helped bring down.
