Rather sees himself as the newsmaker.
Honest Bill Revisited: I think the fact that someone has told a lie, even a big lie or maybe several big lies over a lifetime, does not mean that theyre an inherently dishonest person....I believe in redemption and that Bill Clinton is he an honest person? I think he is an honest person. Did he lie? Yes, he lied, and on those occasions he was dishonest.
Gives it more perspective
Klinton lies because he knows Rather will swear to his lies.
