I'm reminded of the "Rathergate" incident that got Dan Rather fired from CBS, where they went to air with documents critical of George Bush that were clumsily faked, purporting that a typewritten document from 1973 used Times New Roman in the exact same size and spacing of Word's default settings.

I remember being astonished when I first saw images of the purported documents. I could not believe this got past anyone at CBS news, let alone Dan Rather. Did they have no memory of what manual typewriter type face looked like?
