CBS Forgeries: Tuesday 28 Sept 2004

1. Doug Forrester (former US Senate candidate) has reached into his own pocket to run ads calling for Rather’s resignation. DURING RATHER’S BROADCAST (rathergate.com)
2. Fisking of NYT editorial (allahpundit)
3. Exposing intellectual morons - interview w/Dan Flynn: Banescu: Does Dan Rather's forged memos fiasco provide even more support to your theory that ideology is more important than truth to this crowd?
   Flynn: Rathergate is a microcosm of the main idea of this book, which is that ideology makes smart people fall for stupid ideas. Had Dan Rather and his underlings at CBS been motivated by getting at the truth rather than advancing a specific political agenda, they would have never fallen for the forged memos. (townhall.com)
4. How the Mighty Have Fallen: This is the reason that the liberals are so anxious to shut down talk radio. This is why they curse Fox News and are trying to figure out a scheme to put them out of business. This is why the liberals are so anxious to tax and regulate the Internet. These are the gasps of a dying industry. Rather resign? Heck no. He should stay there so he can go down with the ship. (american spectator)
5. Schieffer: Rathergate 'a Terrible Blow' to CBS's Credibility (newsmax)

• Rigor-Free Research: A lot of what passes for education research isn't reliable or rigorous, and many education professors aren't keen on the scientific method. Education has a "dirty little secret," writes Jeffrey Mervis in the June 11, 2004 Science Magazine: "No program has yet met that rigorous standard, because none has been scientifically evaluated and shown to be effective. (A related secret is that there's no consensus on the type of evaluation studies that are needed.)"(techcentralstation)
