DAN CANT HANDLE THE TRUTH
Dan Rather is the undisputed head pooh-bah of the news division at CBS. Rather has spent 40 years solidifying his position. His former colleague Bernard Goldberg reports that Mr. Rather is extremely sensitive to criticism from any source. In his book "Bias," Mr. Goldberg quotes CBS News President Andrew Haywood: "Dan can't distinguish between mainstream criticism and criticism coming from the extremists. It's all the same to him." Goldberg writes that in the 1980s there was a vice president at CBS whose unofficial title was "vice president in charge of Dan Rather. "His main job was keeping Dan Rather happy." Little wonder, then, that CBS News refuses to acknowledge the liberal bias that is a staple of CBS News. No one can get through to Dan Rather. He is impervious to criticism.

He is impervious to criticism.He'd better get out the heavy armor, this time it could cost him whatever is left of his reputation, trying to damage the incumbent President with such an obvious phony story.
This will only HELP Bush.
DAN CAN'T HANDLE THE TRUTH
Maybe Danny Boy needs another vacation. like the unexpected vacation he took in 2000. Remember this from August 17, 2000 during the DNC convention ...?
"Timing is everything. Al Gore must stand and deliver here tonight as the Democratic Party's presidential nominee, and now Gore must do so against the backdrop of a potentially damaging, carefully orchestrated story leak about President Clinton. The story is that Republican-backed special prosecutor Robert Ray, Kenneth Starr's successor, has a new grand jury looking into possible criminal charges against the President growing out of Mr. Clinton's sex life."
"You don't have to be a cynic to note that this has all the earmarks of a carefully orchestrated, politically motivated leak,"
In fact, the story about the Clinton grand jury probe was accidentally leaked to an Associated Press reporter by a federal judge appointed by Democratic President Jimmy Carter. But Rather's ignorance of the facts did not restrain his later prime time speculation about the "Republican-backed" prosecutor.

What the mrc article does not point out is that when the truth became public, Mr. Rather took an extended vacation and never apologized or even acknowledged the "mistake".
What's the frequency Kenneth?
