"60 Minutes"

Ralph Blumenthal profiles possible CBS "memo" source Bill Burkett and doesn't delve into Burkett's previous conspiratorial claims about Bush: "We must examine the ruthless and dictatorial rise of yet another of the three small men--one whose name is not spoken out of fear of reprisal, but his name was Adolf."

The Times (unlike the Washington Post) buries its update on CBS's apparently fraudulent "memos" while again insisting there's still room for doubt: "For every expert who said the documents were patently false, another insisted they could be authentic."

• September 15 -- The Times Digs Deeper Into Anti-Bush "Memos"

• September 13 -- Safire Hails the Blogosphere
William Safire gives a hat tip to Internet bloggers who first uncovered evidence suggesting memos that aired on "60 Minutes" were forged.
