Hope things are going well for you in Kollege. From your post, I seems your learning much in poli sci. Keep at it. At the very least, the Rather matter smoked a concerted and unjust offensive by the DNC, the Kerry campaign and fellow travelers. Today, an autopilot editorial was taken of the Cincy Post's website. Why did that happen, smart guy?

But, as of today, 13SEP94, the story has all but dissappeared from the mainstream media.

"13SEP94"? Typical liberal troll: living in the past.

So, my friends, Dan Rather will continue espouse his view of the world despite all your efforts.

LOL! That is exactly what we want Dan Rather to continue to do. It's not hurting Bush an sure ain't helping Kerry.

Idiot. Get into chemistry because politics are not for you.

The lesson to be learned from the CBS fiasco, in case it has escaped your attention, is that the Mainstream Media have become irrelevant, making your post also irrelevant.

The liberal left knows that The Sheep will eat at least part of what they're fed. So their MO will be to inundate us with garbage from now until Nov 2, knowing that some of it will stick, regardless of its validity.

Apparently, I'm not very bright, because I'm not sure what's so zot-worthy in this post. I certainly can sympathize with the cynical view that Rathergate won't get the attention it should get. Rather should pay with his career for this gaffe but will likely skate, which is pitiful.

For Dan Rather, and many of his backers they feel that they have stonewalled this and walked away with some dignity.

However newspapers from the Toronto Sun, LA Times, and NY Times has said that CBS was duped! ABC News and NBC News have reported the same. It was in the Wall Street Journal where the shareholders and owners of CBS News read it. It was all over talk radio. It was all over the web and Drudge.

To add insult to injury CBS News and the CBS Network have to deal with the fact that this whole thing has pissed off a bunch of TV viewers and that CBS News hasn't been doing well to begin with on TV viewers as documented by the following facts (facts that will determine advertising revenues).

Fox News was the winner in the TV ratings battle during the Republican National Convention.

On Wednesday, for the second straight night, Fox beat out not only its cable rivals but also broadcast networks.

In the 10 p.m. hour Wednesday, when all the networks were airing convention coverage, Fox averaged a whopping 5.9 million viewers. NBC had 4.5 million, ABC claimed 3.3 million and CBS got 2.6 million.

In another upset, MSNBC, usually the third-rated cable news network, was beating CNN. CNN averaged 1.202 million viewers on Wednesday between 10 p.m. and 11 p.m., compared to MSNBC's 1.214 million. It was the second straight night that MSNBC beat CNN.

ZOT, CBS looses additional public good will

In the long run in a customer service industry, reputation and treating the customer with honest respectful service is what separates winners from loosers. CBS is on the loosing path and everyone (including Dan Rather knows this).

You got to "it" first!

For the record, my daughter is an ER nurse. Friday night, she said the forged memos was the biggest topic of conversation among the employees (and many of the patients). That evidently didn't change Saturday or Sunday night. It seems that people who don't normally follow politics like we do noticed this!

That was quick! At least this one could spell fairly well and used correct punctuation in most of his post.
