If Dan Rather's source turns out to be a partisan, say goodbye to CBS's reputation.
Bernard Goldberg speculates on the reason that Dan Rather won't come clean about the forgery issue and won't reveal his source. And is it any wonder? After all, if it is indeed the case that the source for the fake memos is a "partisan" Democrat, which is of course the wrong kind of partisan from the point of view of Dan Rather, then CBS and the Democrats are sunk. It would prove the liberal bias in the press, but even more important would be the public's conclusion that the Democrats have the media in their hip pocket and that neither of them can be trusted to compete fairly for the White House. The public might conclude that The Elite Media Monoculture will repeat any lie that the Democrats feed them just to get Bush out of office. And if the public comes to that conclusion, John "war criminal" Kerry can kiss the Presidency goodbye forever.
