Announced on ABC Radio News, Dan Rather leaving CBS News. No details.
" NEW YORK (AP) -- Dan Rather has announced he will step down as "CBS Evening News" anchor next March."
Dan Rather Stepping Down(CBS Announcement)
Dan Rather should have been outright fired over his partisan smear of the sitting President.
CBS and their advertisers need to be boycotted by those who are outraged. I already boycott CBS, don't have cable so I can't boycott Viacom's cable channels, I don't watch UPN. Who are the big advertisers of CBS News and 60minutes?
(Via Powerline).
How long will Dan Rather be the headline every hour on the hour? Five more months?
"Well, I hope the door doesn't hit Dan Rather's backside on his way out."
I was a nwebie then too and I remember the same thing.
Captain Dan should not be allowed to step down. He should be fired - period.
Looks like the frequency found Kenneth? I hope they flush twice, it's a long way to obscurity for old Dan.
Yep, Dan's gonna fade faster than a Texas Air National Guard story on forged documents.
You'll be busy as a cat trying to bury crap on a marble floor looking for a copy of Dan's upcoming book, Ludicrous Metaphors My Daddy Told Me?
I found out he's not off the 60 Minutes program shortly after my ping.Here is my email to several CBS email addresses, fyi:
To: 60II@cbsnews.com, evening@cbsnews.com, scams@cbsnews.com
Subject: Regarding Dan Rather's Leaving CBS Evening News .....
Regarding the great news, I want to extend my big "thank you."
However, it is my strong belief that since Dan Rather's offense occurred on the 60 Minutes program, he should resign from 60 Minutes as well.
Dan Rather's trotting out FAKE/FORGED documents in a blatant attempt to smear President Bush just prior to the Presidential election was abominable. Ignorance cannot be an excuse. If he is so gullible and stupid that he really DIDN'T KNOW they were forged, then he is TOO INCOMPETENT to be a journalist/reporter. I believe he KNEW they were forged and was warned NOT to go public with such blatantly false documents. Amateurs on FreeRepublic.com spotted them as forgeries just 2-3 hours after the show was broadcast.
Please get Dan Rather off the 60 Minutes program immediately.
Sincerely,
[MeekOneGOP]
PS: I'm ashamed that Dan Rather is from Texas!
I'm with you Meek..His remaining at 60 minutes, the scene of the crime is an outrage...I don't watch network news nor do I watch 60 minutes unless FR prompts me to..
It seems there will be no punishment for the crime.

I believe he was scheduled to step down from the news anyway..This is not a punishment.
I thought maybe this might happen. I don't care why. I just got home and found out.
Whaaahoooooo!
I remember you calling it, Peach---kudos for your posts---good riddance to a POS who should havw been out long ago---than God for the 'freepers' and the internet where the "truth" cannot be muzzled and controlled by the politicos or press-cheers
Stepping down? I don't think he could step any lower.
then i suggest the second target .... ACLU .....
Too late. Sorry, CBS. You had a chance to restore your reputation and credibility by fast, visible action that reinforced accountability for breaches of the public trust. You did not. See you, never again.
I'm glad, too. But I got satisfaction out of sending emails to 3 C BS addresses.
See my email posted on this same thread.
