The Question Not Asked


I watched Dan Rather's mea culpa tonight, including his incisive interview with Bill Burkett, which essentially amounted to asking Burkett questions, the answers to which would cover CBS's butt to the degree possible.

What I want to know though is the answer to the question not asked: "If what you told us before wasn't true, then where'd you get the documents from?" CBS is apparently more interested in covering their butt though, than well, actually pursuing what has become the story.

Mr. Murrow -- you can start spinning again.

UPDATE: And read Jeff Jarvis too.
