"REPUBLICAN MOM FEARS DRAFT" -- The blogosphere fact checks Dan Rather's ass.

More from Powerline here and Little Green Footballs. UPDATE -- Drudge is now linking. Instantly this is national news. (heh). See also the account of the CBS draft scare from the Media Research Center.

Betsy Newmark was on the false "draft" rumors story a week ago -- CBS News ran with the false rumors, ignored the factual debunking. Who's surprised? Maybe David Broder?

UPDATE: PoliPundit points out that RatherBiased.com could use a donation. Their site is down again due to overwhelming traffic. Won't you help?

UPDATE II: If CBS News had a fact-check dept., they might have learned this and this about the bogus draft rumors being spread by Kerry supporters. Posted by Greg Ransom
