It is unlikely that Brokaw or Jennings have cried a tear about the treatment of Dan Rather. He has tanked in the ratings since the scandal. But that didn't keep them from saying ludicrous things about bloggers while sitting beside him today...
First Brokaw...
"The criticism...goes well beyond any factual information."
"What I think is highly inappropriate is what is going on across the internet, a kind of political jihad...and that is quite outrageous," said Brokaw.
And not content to let Brokaw and Rather be the only two disgraced anchormen in the room Canada's boy wonder spoke up as well...
"I don't think you ever judge a man by only one event in his career," said Jennings.
If it weren't for the pajama-wearing-jihadists the public still wouldn't know that Dan Rather purposefully used documents he knew to be false. (Two of his own authenticators told him so.) If it weren't for these sub-human creatures called bloggers - no one would have raised the questions about the curious timing of the "Fortunate Son" story and its correlation to CBS' airing of the original falsified piece. If it weren't for bloggers who would have found out that CBS' "expert witnesses" on the Bush documents were a "handwriting soothsayer", and a type-writer repairman? And it was THIS blogger that discovered that the source of the documents had a standing account at the Kinkos where they were faxed from.
Dan Rather tried to remain silent on the issue but alas couldn't keep from saying that he has been pelted for "asking the tough questions".
Mr. Rather - if you had asked "tough questions" or even looked at the "simple evidence" you wouldn't find yourself in the position you are in now - the captain of a sinking news ship.

you beat me by 1 minute..LOL..i was just getting ready to post this..guess we only have Fox to watch, nothing else
Snakes of a slither wiggle together.
When are all these old guys going to retire?
The truth terrorizes the liar. Lies terrorize the truth teller. Time to choose which kind of "terrorist" you are.
Poor Dan, being attacked by his public for being biased, slanting news and presenting outright lies as a viable news story.
It is very telling that the only people defending him are the lame stream media.
The fear of the bloggers keeps them awake at night, wondering...
Who's NEXT?
Hey Brokaw, Jennings, Rather -- It's a new age, oldtimers! LOL
Only when more viewers dislike them than ignore them.
Sit your a$$ down, new media coming through, B*TCH.
I refuse to be cheated out of my '72 virgins'!
Sounds like truth terrorizes them.
If it's any consolation, this attack on the blogosphere (and Internet in general) is worldwide. Today I was reading an attack in the Spanish press on the "derechistas" (rightwingers) who - gasp! - can freely publish their opinions on the internet. Umberto Eco, a well-known Italian writer and lefty, thinks that a stop should be put to the Internet to prevent this kind of "misuse"." Guess the left is running scared all over the world.

Nuff said!
I doubt that fake American patriot and POS Tom Brokaw would have had the balls to trash-talk like this if he wasn't pushed out the door.
Hey Tom -- Now go and hide your face in Waler Cronkite's lap.
If it wasn't for blogger that lie would now be truth in the mind of Americans! Rather is the Terrorist!
Rather is the terrorist! He tried to sway and election just like the terrorist in Spain did!
Knock, knock.
Try not to soil yourself, Tom, Peter & Dan.
