I saw that exchange. Blather did not "lash out". He said it jokingly.
Not that it was funny. But it was clear Blather was trying to zing the reporter.
Was that really "Lashing"? Sometimes stuff gets overblown. I saw it.... it wasn't "lashing".... just trying to put his shoe on someone else's foot. Poor, sad, pathetic Dan. Maybe we should take up a collection for him.
I thought it was another example of poor taste...
That proves the point. Dan Rather is biased, and no longer cares who knows it. We all know what that remark meant.
Hilarious! I'm listening to the audio of it just now as I listen to Drudge Radio.
Hilarious, the child-like defense in his voice.
What a miserable existence to be Dan Rather...more proof that money and fame in the wrong hands is dangerous...not to mention the propaganda powers.
CBS=DNC=COMMUNISTS
I saw it on TV. Rather did not raise his voice, but his low regard for Fox was clear.
Kerry sounded like those two African-American women in the supermarket in some mindless ad.
Woman 1: (Touching woman 2's belly) When are you do?
Woman 2: (Indignantly) I ain't pregnant.
Woman 1: (Thinking intently, then smiles) Thank you.
Woman 2: (Stunned, reaches out to hug woman 1) You've never said that to me before.
"Duped" would be if he were working for a national news network with lower rating than Fox News.
all this just makes one wonder .. who is in charge at CBS? Anyone? Anyone?
Where is their management? Don't they have to answer to shareholders? Why did Viacom's chmn sell $12Million in shares? How can one old man who's already made his fortune and is about to retire (we can hope) have so much ower that they are all willing to go in the tank with him? I just don't get it.
Now this could get real interesting! My bet it someone is going to take a real fall on these documents. Just for yuks, how 'bout Unca Dan is in Texas to make a deal? Say for instance he's going to make 'ol Burcky the fall guy but Burk knows a little bit more than Blather wants to admit to his fans (both of them). This looks to me like damage control to get all there ducks in a line. Why would SeeBS have to send RatherNot to Texas? In the past they have always sent someone else. I'll tell you the truth this looks to me like we're going to see and end to this soon and Burkette is not going to have to worry about retirement. Hell, I'm sure once Dan is done with him he will be more than willing to take one for the 'ol DNC and be mighty proud of it too! He's going to be a hero! He's going to save Rather’s credibility and keep SeeBS rating from going all the way to hell.
What do you ‘spose that will be worth $$$$$?
Only problem is this guy’s one lap short of finishing the race and it could really come back like the aroma of a two day old diaper that got pushed under the couch.
We’re not done with the comedy relief yet folks!
oops! posted this same comment on the wrong forum. Not trying to be repetitive honest!
yea, well when your boss dumps 12 million dollars of his stock options, ya really don't have much support from the home office...ROFLMAO
Blather, the Klintoons, the Traitor, the Kennedys and the rest of the lefties should start a new political party and call themselves the Liars Party! LMAO
I thought TaRAYza would have rubbed off on him. Shove it.
Since Blather surely KNOWS that Fox News Channel DOESN'T portray FORGED documents as truth like CBS does, Blather should KNOW the FNC reporter's answer is "No."
If so, then the strong implication is that Blather's answer is ALSO "No" to the FNC reporter's question of whether Blather felt duped (i.e. that he was NOT duped).
If Blather does not feel DUPED, then he must have INTENDED for the public to RELY on it.
Now, let me think for a moment...(1) Someone makes a FALSE claim, (2) regarding a MATERIAL fact, (3) and at the time the false claims were made, they either KNEW they were false or they made them recklessly without any knowledge of their truth as possitive assertions, (4) they INTEND for the listener to RELY on it, (5) the listener DOES RELY on it, and (6) they were DAMAGED by it...
Let's see now...I'm no lawyer, but that sure sounds like the DEFINITION OF FRAUD!!!
And (1) there were two or more persons who have pursued a common course of conduct, (2) acted in concert with, (3) aided and (4) abbetted and (5) conspired with one another (6) in furtherance of their common plan and scheme to defraud...
Hmm...I'm thinking...Yep!...That sure sounds like CONSPIRACY to COMMIT FRAUD!!!
Since the airwaves belong to the PUBLIC, that sure sounds to me like CRIMINAL CONDUCT may have been committed by CBS to attempt to alter the outcome of a FEDERAL ELECTION!!!!!
In my opinion, the FCC needs to IMMEDIATELY REMOVE CBS and Blather from the airwaves!!!
I wish the reporter had retorted, "Do you feel that any current CBS reporters were duped into thinking they were NOT part of a transparently biased so-called news organization?"
If you were facing the reality that everyone was suddenly aware you and your career have been a complete joke you'd probably lose your cool, too. He's history and he knows it. Even if CBS keeps him on board he will have zero credibility.
Poor, old, Rather doesn't realize that in his twilight years, he is being exploited by the DNC. Maybe he was a journalist earlier in his career. Today he is just a worthless stooge and an embarassment to the profession.
