DAVID SHAW: RATHER's work 'Shoddy, Slipshod' not LIBERAL..?

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..?

NEVER FORGET

I will NEVER FORGET personally telling DAVID SHAW, after my return from the 1st Major Battles of the Vietnam War, about the Anti-U.S. Mis-reporting of the Vietnam War by CBS News Reporters WALTER CRONKITE, DAN RATHER and MORLEY SAFER. A young DAVID SHAW was a Liberal supporting the Anti-War stance of then Presidential Candidate ROBERT F. KENNEDY and I of course argued against him with the CLARITY of Freedom's side.

DAN RATHER subverted our Fight for the Freedom of others in Vietnam long ago and is now subverting the Fight for our own here at home.

And this is what Los Angeles Times Media Critic DAVID SHAW should have been reporting all along about people like CLINTON-CASTRO Friend DAN RATHER to the American People ...but has neglected to.

"Why he thinks like I do...he obviously then is unbiased."--paraphrasing the between-the-lines meaning of his idiocy.

This guy thinks everyone but he and his fellow reporters are dolts.

The MSLM are learning, but they still have a ways to go.

To: Pharmboy; everyone

You all get it anyway, but -- I (unfortunately) live in La La land and know this poor excuse for a human being, David Shaw. He is one of the sleaziest creatures to walk this earth. When the LA Slimes got caught in a major log roll, running a huge puff-piece article on Staples Center without admitting they were one of the main investors, guess who they assigned to "investigate" the nascent scandal--? Thas' right, David Shaw. What a slime pit that paper is!!

WHEN too many WORDS IN a TEXT are CAPITALIZED the result is DISTRACTING. I RECOMMEND that MAYBE you TRY to RE-format SUCH ARTICLES so THAT they ARE easier on THE EYES.

He's doing what CBS was doing a week ago. Admitting everything except for the blatantly obvious. Why? Because it would show that his enemies on the right are right.

Thanks for the heads up, Ronnie.

I am so sorry they haven't learned, are carelessly hurting another generation of veterans (and the free world).

What will it take before they understand the enemy they serve hates freedom, their lives - their very souls?

We're making progress. I suppose this is the equivalent of the insanity plea.

This is some of what I shared with a then young Long Beach Independent-Press Telegram Investigative Reporter & friend, DAVID SHAW, upon my return from the 1st Major Battles of the Vietnam War:
