Heard something rather(?) chilling about him recently. Apparently some of his reports from Vietnam which were supposed to be under fire, where actually recreations, done for the folks back home and raise his ratings. Bringing the "war" into America's living room. Had never heard this charge before. (I think it was on Hannity on the radio)
Maybe Kerry took Rather lessons.
My point is that it would make him deceitful.

I think Rather has been in that post for too long! He has become a power to himself (so he thinks). The sole authority, etc.

He has lost his objectivity long time ago, and given to frequent bias on many subjects.

I really don't know why CBS bosses are so afraid of him, and reluctant to rein him in. Could be he has accumulated power during his long stay there!

Dont know about that exact incident..but as a former crew chief/door gunner, our unit did one of those...ONCE!...We were scrambled and lead to believe it was a regular mission...only when we were dropping into the supposedly hot LZ guns blazing, did they tell us the difference...Lots of pissed off crewman...That didn't happen again!!!

Is that where Kerry learned it from?

Deceit is the mascot of progressives.

My Dad a chopper pilot will vouch for that. rather came up to him and other pilots and wanted them to go start something or just shoot at nothing because he needed a story.Dad refused so rather went on down to the next unit and paid them to do what my Dads unit wouldn't.
