Click Here For Media Watchdog: CBS Has 'Long Way to Go'
"'Their sources were dubious at best - so much so that their primary source was never cited publicly - and they were certainly partisan with a political agenda against the President,' Bozell said in a statement. He pointed out that 'CBS did not check all of their facts, and even their own experts told them not to go with the story.
'CBS also had on-the-record statements from Lt. Col. Jerry Killian's own son who said the story wasn't true - and still they were repeating the discredited 'sentiments' a week later,' he added.
'Dan Rather has said: 'If I knew then what I know now - I would not have gone ahead with the story as it was aired, and I certainly would not have used the documents in question.' Mr. Rather, what you know now is what you knew then,' Bozell said."
