Rathergate report is out, sort of

CBS has finally posted a PDF copy of their report on the now-infamous 60 Minutes II segment where they tried to pass off forged memos as real, only to have the blogosphere expose their anti-Bush agenda masquerading as "news." So far the report has no appendices. Appendices and exhibits here.

--

UPDATE: CBS fired Mary Mapes, producer of the 60 Minutes II segment. Three news execs were also asked to resign ... but not CBS News' President, Andrew Heyward. His desk is buck-free, Buckhead be damned.

UPDATE 2: The CBS report can't even get basic facts about blogs right. Footnote 86 on page 153 says "Powerline is a Minnesota-based blog run by John Hinderaker and Scott Johnson, both of whom are attorneys." There's a third blogger there, you dingalings. Ever heard of Paul Mirengoff, who blogs from Washington, DC? Try checking the three bios right at the top left side of the blog's home page. You did actually go there and look at the site, right? Time Magazine managed to get the basics right (then again, Time is known for reporting actual news). And it's "Power Line", not "Powerline." Geez, with this kind of attention to detail, how are we going to trust this report's conclusions?
