CSI and dan rather are two different things.
Yes. That's because what CSI reports (instant DNA matches, magic fluid that causes year old blood stains to glow in lit rooms, national firearms registration, the suggestion that there are only 12 HK USP .45ACPs in the state of Nevada, S&M parlours where no one has sex, and so on) is so much closer to reality that Dan Rather's fevered dreams that I now choose to get my news.
