Hi there,

It is the job of the press to cover power, not cover for power—to hold those in power accountable by documenting what's happening on the ground and amplifying voices at the grassroots. In this critical moment, as attacks on the media escalate, we must continue to cover crackdowns on dissent, immigrants, the LGBTQ+ community, public health and academic freedom. Thanks to a group of generous donors, all donations made today will be DOUBLED, which means your $15 gift is worth $30. If our journalism is important to you, please donate today. Every dollar makes a difference. Thank you so much.

Some Experts Say '60 Minutes' Docs May Be Forged

HeadlineSep 10, 2004

The Washington Post is reporting that some experts are questioning whether the documents unearthed by * 60 Minutes* regarding President Bush’s military history might be * forgeries*. Questions were raised if the font used in the documents and the formatting could have been done by a Vietnam War-era typewriter. CBS stands by the documents and says they were vetted by independent experts and verified by individuals who saw them at the time they were written. The White House has not officially raised questions about the authenticity of the documents. On Wednesday night the press office emailed reporters copies of the documents that were supplied by CBS.
