"60 Minutes II" is "Through"

CBS said Wednesday it is cancelling the Wednesday edition of “60 Minutes,” insisting the decision was made because of poor ratings and not last fall’s ill-fated story about President Bush’s military service.

I love this part…

“This was a ratings call, not a content call,” Moonves said Wednesday.

The newsmagazine spinoff was where Rather reported last September that Bush skirted some duty while in the Texas Air National Guard and a commander felt pressure to sugarcoat an evaluation of him. An independent panel later concluded that documents used in the story could not be verified.

That’s just sick! My nephew in second grade could see that the documents were fake, but the MSM still can’t acknowledge the obvious… Yet, they can push a second hand account of “prisoner abuse”(?) in a heartbeat!
