If you're going to report on esoteric minutia, at least get it right
The Washington Post had another ridiculous error today regarding the CBS memos. This graphic comparing the CBS memos to officially released memos by Lt. Col. Jerry Killian suggests the CBS memos are fake in part because one of them refers to business conducted on Aug. 18, 1973, which was a Saturday. According to the Post graphic, "It is unlikely that ANG conducted business with 'Austin' on Saturday." Really? It's unlikely that the Air National Guard, which, along with the Army National Guard, drills on weekends would conduct business on a Saturday? Drill weekends are a defining characteristic of the National Guard. This is almost as absurd as claiming it's unlikely that the Air Force would conduct operations above the ground. This is esoteric minutia, but if that's where you choose to focus your coverage, at least get it right.
