Response #3

Something tells me that the pajamahideen may want to make some of their own comments about this response:

JOHN;

`Your outrage is not misplaced in my opinion, and I think you should
do everything you want to do to respond to this breach of trust. I'll
also pass on your thoughts to CBS, and believe me, they will get read.
The affiliate body and stations are intensely angry about this.
That said, I will say to you that my trust in the accuracy, fairness,
truthfulness, and balance of a large number of blogs, is not up to the
standards those same individuals are calling CBS to. They are too
often quite the opposite!
You likely know that CBS went on the record with their
apology/explanation today. Whatever else you think of Mr. Rather or
CBS, at least they admitted a rather large error.
Thank you for the time you've given to express your concerns.

Dave Weinkauf
KVAL+ VP/GM

Here is what I emailed back:

Well, when I make a mistake, I correct it right away, either at the post
itself, or in a new post. I don't bury it on page C15. I take feedback at
all times, link to every source I use unless the source is inaccessible from
the web, and use trackback links so readers can see the other blogs that
comment or critique on my post. If I'm wrong, anyone who disagrees can
leave feedback, which is visible for all to see. For all the talk about how
we "aren't up to the standards" of CBS, does *any* mainstream news source do
that? Most newspapers publish a dozen letters to the editor, at most.

For all of CBS News vaunted checks and balances, noone caught the fact that
half of their own forensic specialists had serious questions about the
documents, that both the son and wife of Col. Killian said the documents
were probably forged, and that noone had bothered to interview Staudt about
his role in getting Bush in the National Guard before running the story.

Bloggers broke this story. They did all the early detective work that
determined that the documents were forged. And yes, bloggers have a
viewpoint. So do reporters. The difference is that I know the blogger's
viewpoint. I don't know what viewpoint the reporter has--I can only guess
by trying to divine his preconceived notions when he reports a story.
Trying to pretend that a reporter's viewpoint doesn't matter is ludicrous,
for specifically that reason. Even if he claims he is unbiased, his views
will color everything he writes, even if he consciously tries not to do so.
It is simply human nature, and to suggest otherwise ignores that reporters
and editors write about what they see in the world, and that means what they
see depends on how they see it. I think it is only fair that we as viewers
know exactly what a reporter's political beliefs are when he reports a
story. That would give viewers the one thing that is so sorely lacking in
how the mainstream press conducts its business: transparency.
