When will Dan resign?
HAH!
Oh yeah...say it again and this time be more convincing!
I wouldn't piss on dan blather if he were on fire.
I'd surmise that there's a lot more than mere "distress" and "concern" at CBS. Righteously PO'd at Rather is probably more prevalent. He's besmirched the entire organization.
They are all hoping this will blow over. I noticed Greta had a "missing girl" story on last night. Isn't that what usually happens when Democrats are in trouble?
Why doesn't Wallace send a 60 minutes camera crew to follow him out to his car when he's leaving for work?
A true statement I believe. But, and it's a big BUT, when you want to believe something so desperately you're objectivity goes out the window you'll believe anything. That's what happened to Dan, his own prejudices have finally gotten the best of him.
The authenticity of the documents has been thoroughly debunked, not only by pajama clad bloggers, but by experts consulted by numerous MSM outlets. There's not a shred of doubt any long -- they are blatant forgeries.
For Rather to continue the charade is lunacy. At some point -- soon -- CBS is going to have to shake Rather hard and tell him to get it right. My hunch is that Rather will exit stage left and leave others behind to clean up his mess.
It isn't an innocent mistake when you refuse to address the proof that the evidence is forged.
That = collusion.
Carvile and Begala haven't been heard from during this flap.
Are they keeping a low profile because they don't want to answer any potentially damaging questions?
Come on James, where is your pumpkin head. Come out, come out wherever you are...
Now the question becomes, are these 'collegues' also die hard liberal lefties trying to preserve their podium to preach from, or are they honestly decieved about Defraudin' Dan? My money is on the former. If it is the latter, we will see very dramatic changes in the aftermath. My prediction is that we won't...we'll see more stonewalling. My guess is that even Defraudin' Dan survives this. And if nothing else, you won't see a dramatic realignment at CBS.
Even if there is, there is a dearth of highly placed moderates in media. Almost anyone who could step into the anchor seat would also be a radical liberal. Just about the only really good hope I could see is John Stossel. But they would never go for it. But if they did...they would see CBS News blossom beautifully.
At least the memos are on real paper. I bet the paper is 6 months to 1 year old!
Tick. Tick. Tick. I hear the clock. I don't hear correction.. Tick. Tick. Tick
That's just pitiful.
"You're dealing with genuine professionals. The last thing in the world that any of these people would want is to phony something," he told the Times.
OH, PLEASE!!!!!!!!!!!! Take a look at his history. It's just that Free Republic didn't exist when he was making his reputation.
The continuing saga of Richard Milhous Rather - What did he know and when did he know it?
Sell Mortimer, sell!
Maybe you just don't know him as well as the rest of us do!
No Mike, the last thing in the world you, Rather and the rest, would want, is to be caught rigging the news. Rather has been caught.
