Well I tried to find that evidence... got tired of chasing references, never did get to the slam-dunk evidence that it couldn't have been typed on a selectric, if it exists.



This was one of those (rather common) cases where no one could really get to slam-dunk evidence that it couldn't have been typed on a selectric (especially given they weren't original copies) but any reasonable interpretation of the evidence suggested that it was far more likely to have come out of Microsoft Word on default settings. (Per many forensic document experts.)

Other aspects of the documents looked sketchy as well upon further examination.

A lot of other news organizations were really pissed because there were some questionable aspects to GWB's National Guard Service but those were pretty much off the table for discussion when the apparently forged documents were discredited.
