The Devil’s Own
In what he probably views as a brave piece in today’s Newsday, Mediachannel.org editor Danny Schechter uses his powers of divination to explain how a tiny little non-event like the CBS forged document story got blown up into a huge media scandal via some carefully orchestrated plot by a cabal of right-wing hitmen, the goal of which was to destroy uberpatriot (and unimpeachable source) Dan Rather.
