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..?

And now a...
...stepping down DAN RATHER is saying he is doing so due to attacks from a vast Right Wing Conspiracy still angry over his 1960's reporting of Vietnam, the Civil Rights movement and Watergate.
Actually, mainstream America is just now catching up with all of DAN RATHER's Media lies and is finally doing something about it.

NUTS

Yep! Another one bites the dust!

And now...
...today this from Los Angeles Times Reporter SCOTT COLLINS,
...but not DAVID SHAW:
"From here on out, RATHER's toughest job might be convincing his conservative critics that he's not a liberally biased journalist. Bloggers and columnists have cited his run-ins with Republican presidents as evidence of his political agenda"

DAVID SHAW's March 13, 2005 response to RATHERGATE:
Is BUSH really implementing a full-court press on media?
http://www.latimes.com/news/columnists/cl-ca-shaw13mar13,1,4219741.column?coll=la-news-columns
"To the BUSH Administration, journalists are not surrogates for the American People, they're just another annoying group of lobbyists, special-interest pleaders seeking not the information necessary for citizens to make intelligent decisions but only the journalists' own ego-gratification, career advancement and ideological advantage"
In other words...
America needs Freerepublic.com's CLARITY.
Always has.
Especially in Time of War.

America needs Freerepublic.com's CLARITY.
Thanks for the ping!

Here's a great CLARITY Read.
The MSM is still following DAVID SHAW's lead in calling RATHER's work 'Shoddy' just when it followed his lead in his calling ...MONICA-GATE just about SeX.
For it's own CLARITY sake it's time for the MSM to start reporting THIS:

Thanks!MacDougald, 46, who has been with Atlanta's Womble Carlyle Sandridge & Rice PLLC since 2002, was the blogger "Buckhead" who first started a cascade of criticism about a report Rather aired Sept. 8 on CBS's "60 Minutes II" about President George W. Bush's Air National Guard service.
Why do they insist on calling FR a "blog" site? We're a Conservative News discussion website. Don't they know the difference? Or is FR technically a weblog?
I'm glad to see FR getting so much mention in the press though, anyway.

agree.
i shall never forget the demeaning way that the american left treated vietnam combat veterans and vietnam era veterans.
they are attempting to do the same thing today that they did to the u.s. military in vietnam:
they are using minor discipline issues such as abu graib to define the iraqi war and to turn the general public against the war.
david shaw i've read for decades. he's one of the most overpaid writers of the los angeles times.
excellent!
