Rather Ambushed at Dallas Airport; Anchor Bashes Fox September 18, 2004 15:34:06 EDT Fox News has reported that Dan Rather received the "60 Minutes treatment" when he was confronted by a local Dallas TV reporter.
Rather has flown to Dallas apparently to help his CBS people in Dallas get their stories straight and bolster their defense. More and more media organizations are picking apart Rather's claims, as more is uncovered about the Texas Democrats who seem to have originated the story.
The reporter, from the local Fox affiliate, asked Rather if he felt he was duped. Rather shot back, "Do you feel like you were duped -- working for Fox like you do?"
I see Dan Rather takes it like the little b!+ch I always knew he was. I can see why he washed out of the Marine Corps Recruit Training.
He's squeeling like Ned Beaty now.
Never would, kid. Just get busy and make yer FReep-page, and don't gimme any lip, OK?
If ya need any help, just send me a FReep-mail................FRegards
No. I was on their program once (a friendly Morely Safer report), many years ago, so I got to see some of it from the inside -- literally from inside their studios. This was a very complex, involved story and I was impressed with how the producer (Gail Eisen) got all the facts down straight. At one point in subsequent discussion, she corrected a "fact" I remembered. When I looked it up, darned if she wan't correct.
I have been saddened to see what "60 Minutes" has become since, and I no longer watch it. But they have done good work in the past.
That is good to hear, at least that helps in that I don't have to wonder if I have been getting totally jived for 25 years. I guess their hatred of the Bush administration and the momentum of this election just got the best of them, and unfortunately for them, will more than likely ruin them.
Do you find people admiring your perty little mouth Mr. Rather?
'Rather shot back, "Do you feel like you were duped -- working for Fox like you do?"'
Well gee willickers, Dan, you got a head like a rat turd...sharp on both ends!
The arrogance of this man is amazing. HE is the one who is trying to perpetrate a fraud. And he has the nerve to put down FOX News. Rather is a disgrace to journalism.
He sounds just like the arrogant asshole that he's been for years now. I guess, much like Kerry, he doesn't react well under stress, or under any other condition.
Hey hey, ho, ho. Time for Rather To GO!
Absolutely. Either hubris got the better of him, or he had a good reason for stonewalling.
