Drudge has the scoop

CBS executives on both coasts have become concerned in recent days that Dan Rather’s EVENING NEWS broadcast has plunged in the ratings since the anchor presented questionable documents about Bush’s National Guard service.

We would need Congress to get involved if there were gov’t skulduggery afoot, or if CBS were engaged in nefarious legal wranglings to shut down the bloggers who’ve taken them down. As it is, this is good, old-fashioned market magic at work.

If you sell apples, and you start selling apples with worms in them, people shop elsewhere. You either (1) sell better apples, or (2) go out of business. And Congress never has to lift a finger.

UPDATE: Great minds think alike. And sometimes, I tag along with them.
