CBS has publicly acknowledged that it doubts the validity of the “documents” it quoted claiming to question President Bush’s Vietnam service record. The network has taken a drubbing over the documents. Even its own experts questioned the authenticity of the so-called memos. From the BBC today:

The US TV network CBS has said it now has doubts over the authenticity of documents it used in a report about President Bush's military service.

The presenter, Dan Rather, said he apologised for a mistake in judgement.

I never thought I’d see the day on which Rather Dan would eat crow.
