"The good news for consumers of journalism is that journalists are increasingly on notice from the pedantic fact-checkers of the pyjamahadeen."

I am a FReeper; I am one of those pedantic fact-checkers of the pyjamahadeen. I'm very proud to be a member of both.

I get my news where I want; not where it's force fed. I read my favorite blogs daily. I despise the MSM and their arrogance.

In the end, I'm simply an American who thinks our country deserves better than forgeries and the spin of the MSM.

That's his salary ............. no wonder consumers have to pay more for advertised products b/c CBS has to charge high ad rates to create income to pay Dan and all the other CBS (gag) personnel.

$10 million - to commit a felony? In the long run, that could pay off...

Dan Rather and CBS have reduced the fifth estate to a new low.

I think that's okay......right after the snipers were nabbed, I broke a story about them (AP picked it up 45 minutes later) being a member of a Muslim-offshoot prison gang, and I was wearing a bathtowel and wet-hair-turban the whole time.

"We've got an army of citizen journalists."
...who have assumed the responsibility that professional journalists have neglected and the authority that they have abdicated.
"The mainstream old media can benefit from the blowtorch of the blogosphere in lifting its standards of accuracy."
Yes, it can, but it won't. It has no interest in accuracy or truth. It is committed to propaganda. That's the problem.
"Back at CBS, Rather seems to think the pyjamahadeen are part of some vast right-wing conspiracy"
...and that truth is a right-wing contrivance.
"CBS and Dan Rather must have been blind to run a story based on such bogus documents.
Yes, in the sense that Oedipus and Jocasta were blind (i.e. before their epiphany). They were all blinded by hubris and denial.

Rather and the rest of the CBS staff would have been wise to pay attention in Greek Lit. class back in college. They might not have had to repeat some very unpleasant history if they had.
