TRUTH Revised

Wow! Thanx. Always wondered about the crazed bloggers . Never follow Huff Post or Bush bashing so would never have run across this without your keen sense of reporting :lol:

First, the accusations of forged documents were based upon assertions that they were typed with fonts and proportional spacing that didn't exist back in the 1970s when they were said to have been typed. This accusation subsequently proved false. Here's what Mike Missal, a lawyer who worked for the CBS panel, said publicly later on:

It's ironic that the blogs were actually wrong... We actually did find typewriters that did have the superscript, did have proportional spacing. And on the fonts, given that these are copies, it's really hard to say, but there were some typewriters that looked like they could have some similar fonts there. So the initial concerns didn't seem as though they would hold up.
and...

As journalist Joe Hagan reported in Texas Monthly in a 2008 story summarizing the controversy, "...the CBS documents that seem destined to haunt Rather are, and have always been, a red herring."
