On Dealing Seriously With Journalistic Fraud

In the light of KoranGate and the meme of “Fake but Plausible” we should take a moment to reflect on the story that blew the top on fraud in Journalism, RatherGate. Yes, that story where obviously forged documents were used to try to discredit the President during an election (you know, the ones that had P.O. Box 12345 in the header). CBS took seriously the allegations as well did the rest of the journalistic community.

Today, the journalistic community has expressed its righteous indignation that one journalist has so given into the Democrats that he ran a false story by awarding Dan Rather the Peabody Award. It’s good to know that media organizations take bias and fraud seriously.
