Busted Globe
Looks like our friends at the Boston Globe weren’t wise enough to distance themselves from CBS’s embarassment and the Liberal Mainstream Media (MSM) label. They published an article yesterday titled “Authenticity Backed on Bush Documents”, quoting Dr. Phillip Bouffard, a nationally renowned forensic document expert. In their article they deliberately twisted and misrepresented Dr. Bouffard’s statements in such a way as to make readers believe that the charges of forgery had been utterly refuted. Dr. Bouffard was not amused, and furiously complained to INDC about this gross misrepresentation of what he had said by the Boston Globe.
Quote:
I just interviewed Dr. Bouffard again, and he’s angry that the Globe has misrepresented him. He’s been getting hate mail and nasty phone calls since last night’s story was posted, and he wants me to correct the record. He did not change his mind, and he and his colleagues are becoming more certain that these documents are forgeries.
[Bouffard said:] “I would appreciate it if you could do whatever it takes to clear this up, through your internet site, or whatever.”
“All I’d done is say, ‘Hey I want to look into it.’ Please correct that **** impression!”
“What I said to them was, I got new information about possible Selectric fonts and [Air Force] documents that indicated a Selectric machine could have been available, and I needed to do more analysis and consider it.”
“But the more information we get and the more my colleagues look at this, we’re more convinced that there are significant differences between the type of the [IBM] Composer that was available and the questionable document.”
“The [new Selectric] typefaces sent to me invalidated the theory about the foot on the four [originally reported to INDC], but after looking at this more, there are still many more things that say this is bogus.”
“… there are so many things that are not right; ‘s crossings,’ ‘downstrokes’ …”
“More things were looked into; more things about IBM options. Even if you bought special [superscripting] keys, it’s not right. There are all kinds of things that say that this is not a typewriter.”
“Any form of kerning may be critical [he hasn't rendered a definitive verdict if there is a form of kerning yet]. If there is any type of kerning, it obviously isn’t a typewriter or it’s definitely a typeset document.”
On the Globe and others:
“You talk to someone on the phone and it comes out different than you said!”
Yeah, add the Boston Globe to the list of liberal media outlets. Hopefully they’ll go down together with CBS News when this is over. LOL!
Meanwhile, Seeing Is Believing.
