* This per Bill O'Reilly last evening. This includes Rush L. and most Free Republic posters

Isn't it just hysterical How O'Reilly is doing EXACTLY what he accuses us of. He is making a knee jerk emotional defense of Dan Rather with NO consideration of the evidence. That's ok, now that Mr O'Reilly's facade of independent populism has fallen to reveal the real Old Media elitist he really is, soon he and Dan can retire to the Old Propagandists Home together and bitch to each other about those punks in the new media.

Another interesting question to this story beside how could Rather and CBS be so stupid is "Why is Bill O'Reilly rushing to Dan's defense?" Could it be because Westwood One, also owned by CBS Parent Company Viacom, is the sponsor of O'Reilly's radio program? Why is Bill O'Reilly so willing to commit professional suicide in a vain attempt to shield Rather from the consequences of his own stupidity and political bigotry? I have no PROOF Mr O'Reilly is responding to pressure from his sponsor but as Dan Rather said It isn't the accuracy of the charge, it's the thrust of the story that is important. Will all due respect Mr O'Reilly ANSWER the questions.
