NEVER FORGET
...Now longtime Los Angeles Times Media Critic DAVID SHAW, who was one of the first to write in a column that MONICA-GATE was "Just about SeX" is today reporting about CBS News' Reporter DAN RATHER:
At 72, RATHER has lost none of the hard-charging, go-anywhere, do-anything determination to get the story that marked his rise to the top of the network news hierarchy. But now that drive has taken him to the abyss. (Wasn't it Dallas, Texas TV Reporter DAN RATHER that told the world the JFK had officially been declared dead, before JFK had been?)
"It wouldn't surprise him," SHAW says "if RATHER is a liberal, but he says after a dozen or so interviews with RATHER over the years, the veteran news anchor has never hinted at having an ideological bias." (Say WHAT?)
"Will RATHER be forced out of his CBS News anchor chair?" SHAW goes on to ask.
NEWSMAX.com's CARL LIMBACHER adds that while SHAW is not seeking RATHER's ouster, many journalists believe that if precedent and reputation mean anything to CBS, the decision is clear.
But NOT to Los Angeles Times Media Critic DAVID SHAW..?

Southern California's KTLA Channel 5 Morning Business Reporter has just reported that due to its low TV Ratings...
DAN RATHER's '60 Minutes II'...
...may be on its way to being cancelled.
That's even before RATHER is allowed to retire there..!!!
It's strictly business, ya know.
.
.
Why,
even...
Ex-CBS News Prez can't stand RATHER:

Good to hear!
ping
Thanks for the ping!
.
...So RATHER is finally forced to resign his CBS-TV News Anchor Job...
...while CBS-TV says he's got his second TV Job at '60 Minutes-Wednesday' to fall back on.
.."Ooop's, guess again" says CBS President MOONVIES:
RATHER's Second Show May Be Toast

Thanks for the ping!
i read david shaw's "media critic" articles for years,
and shaw's articles suck!
I've heard reported that many former NVA and VC say that they were tricked. They were told that the suppression of freedom was necessary during the fight with the Americans, but once the Americans were driven out, the government would allow the people to have the same kind of freedom enjoyed in the south.
.
I've had former North Vietnamese Army members tell me here in America that HO CHI MINH had lied to them during the Vietnam War when he told them to fght on because things would be so much better for all of Vietnam when once unified under Communism.
They then told me that everything got much worse in both the North and the South of Vietnam after the Fall of Saigon to Communist North Vietnamese invaders.
So much so that even they found themselves forced to flee that enslaved country right along side those they had conquered.
As they yelled out:
.."HO CHI MINH lied to us"
.."HO CHI MINH lied to us"
.
.
Seems RATHER had assured CBS News President Andrew Heyward that he had not "been involved in this much checking on a story since Watergate."
See today's Los Angeles Times Front Page article titled:
How CBS' Big Story Fell Apart
http://www.Freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1321822/posts
.
.
For, you see,
...without our finally nailing these LIBERAL Media characters to the wall...
...people like CBS News President ANDREW HEYWARD will still be out here improperly using that Media to nail our Commander-in-Chief BUSH in time of war.
Just take a look at what happened today on CBS:
CBS Nixed White House Request to Rebut KENNEDY
http://www.Newsmax.com/archives/ic/2005/1/16/154400.shtml
.
According to Broadcasting & Cable, CBS News President Andrew Heyward traveled to D.C. and personally assured Bartlett that "neither CBS News nor [Dan] Rather had a vendetta against the White House."
"From here on out [CBS] would do everything it could to be fair and balanced,” he reportedly pledged.
Well, there it is. I'm convinced. Aren't you? < /sarcasm>
If any facts are uncovered to indicate that that is true, Dan Rather wants to be the first to break the story.
.
You can tell DAN RATHER to come see me, if you like.
"HO CHI MINH lied to us"
"HO CHI MINH lied to us"
...was yelled to my Greeting SANTA at our California neighborhood Christmas Lights display in the 1990's by a former female member of the Communist North Vietnamese Army that went South to fight us Americans, because HO CHI MINH had lied to her.
...Hey, DAN, come on down, ya hear..? Have we got some facts for you.

DAN RATHER's Continuance at CBS in Doubt
http://www.Newsmax.com/archives/ic/2005/2/2/84651.shtml
"(CBS President) MOONVIES's recent public comments suggest no love for RATHER, the public face of this public-relations disaster. At the Television Critics Association meetings in Los Angeles two weeks ago, MOONVIES alluded to RATHER in his harsh reference to the 'antiquate' single-anchor, 'VOICE OF GOD' evening-news format."
FINALLY.
It's only taken CBS 40 years to play Catch-Up with this guy.

bump!
