CBS News has finally given George W. Bush the credit for winning the 2000 presidential election fair and square. With gritted teeth, Dan Rather told Geraldo Rivera today, "Yeah, Bush won, and I want a plane ticket to Kazakhstan. Alec Baldwin is already there."
CBS news executives felt so bad about avoiding the truth for 18 months that to compensate they decided to award Bush two extra years in office, beginning his term in 1998. This compensation allowed them to shift blame for the 9/11 attacks away from Clinton-GORE to Bush. Hence, the CBS News web site informed the world today that Cinton-GORE were not in office when the first intelligence briefings about potential kamikaze attacks were given:
The Washington Post said Saturday that a top-secret briefing memo presented to President Bush in 1998 focused on efforts by Osama bin Laden to strike at targets in the U.S.
So CBS has admitted Bush won, but they have proved once again that around every silver lining, there's a cloud.
