Give me a break - Bather is a disgrace as was Cranky Cronkite. I have been throwing stuff at both until cable was introduced (i.e., never credible with me).

Great article! Mr. Y-Rich made some very good points.
I really wanted to be a journalist when I was in my teens, starting at our jr. high paper, and through my sophomore year in high school. That was many years ago, but I still remember how checking one's facts out was stressed, so that the paper wouldn't just be a gossip sheet but would be actual, usable news.

In 1988 they could get by with that and make it stick. There was very little talk radio. There was no Fox News. There was no Internet. There were no bloggers.IOW, no accountability.

Yes - as I see it. Bather has to go (even though it's great to see him sweat).

Rather resign? Heck no. He should stay there so he can go down with the ship. Maybe the rats will throw him a line.

I remember watching TV news in the '60s, and my dad calling Crankcase a commie. I didn't know what he meant back then, but I do now.

I had liberal parents (both) who LOVED Danny Boy. I knew there was somthing up with him when I started getting a clue. I'd laugh at him with my mother in the room, then I'd get the "silent treatment". My mother was kinda clueless (God rest her soul).

Cronkite's name is probably an anglicized spelling of the German word Krankheit meaning "sickness."

That was a very good piece, but it doesn't look good when he can't spell Murrow's name correctly.

I agree, Dan Rather-NOT should not resign. Let him and C-BS twist in the wind.
