Will the media learn?

Instapundit is still the best roundup of the news:
I want to know where the documents came from, and I want to know why Rather isn't more interested in getting to the bottom of all that -- and in telling us what happened. If he's not willing to do that, he should resign. Or be fired.
Shouldn't CBS just register as a 527 and have done with it?
And he's being kind compared to what others are blogging. I don't think that CBS could qualify for 527 status. There's too much evidence of coordination with the Kerry Campaign.

On another note, I think we should all be thankful that CBS has delivered the most powerful proof of media bias any of use could have asked for, not that it will convince any of the Hate Bush left. I suspect that this is only the beginning of contention and a deep devision among the American people. We would do well to view this as a warning about the corruption that comes with power. Instead of being dismissive and resentful of the voice of the people that bloggers represent, CBS should have welcomed them as a check on its own echo chamber. Of course, the success of Rush Limbaugh, et al., and Fox News Channel should have tipped them off, but pride goeth . . ., well, you know.

Bush, for all of the accusations against him, has continued to act like a gentleman, without conceding any ground. That's probably what really drives the left nuts. I am constantly reminded by his actions that he is a Christian and a humble man. Consider the viciousness with which he has been attacked for the past four years, without reviling in return. Nixon let his enemies get to him and it destroyed him. Reagan, and now Bush, have shown that rising above such attacks accomplishes more and wins in the end.
