Just want to post a quick note that while watching "Scarborough Country" on MSNBC right now, Pat Buchanan was discussing Dan Rather's exit as Anchor for the CBS Evening News and one of his discussion panel, former ABC News Reporter Bob Zelnick, commented that Rather's resignation comes in advance of the investigative report on the Bush National Guard story 60 Minutes II ran this past September, whic Zelnick said should be released "sometime next week."
They call the election for bush yet?
"It's a safe bet to say that Bernie isn't a "reliable source"....if anybody is on the 'outs' in the network news bidniss, it's him."
Look at who is conducting the investigation. I do not think it is CBS insiders.
I know you're right.
We'll keep the heat on him.
Come to think of it, Dan's terse, matter-of-fact on-air announcement looked pretty bad too. He handled it like a good tv announcer, but that's the best you could say about it. One would have expected him to launch into sanctimony or apologetics. Instead, it was "nothing to see here...move along". I don't think this is over yet.
Take a really, really deep breath.
watch ..... lets start our efforts out on a loser ... i think marshalling our forces for the ACLU would be a good back ground task... the blogspehere meeting place on the net would be good..... they need to have consequences for their activities and so do the people who support them..
"Our investigation has found that these documents were indeed genuine. Also, bush lost florida in 2000 and ohio in 2004.
Signed,
Dan Rather"
As MSNBC is saying: "Anchors Aweigh"!
Rather Dan can still break this story on 60 minutes - no?
Said it before, and say it again.
Mapes will be fired.
Rather will resign.
To quote Dan Rather on election night:
"Is it like a swan, with every feather above the water settled, but under the water paddling like crazy?"
Bernie Goldberg on FoxNews during Hannity&Commie said don't believe stuff like this...
This "story" will have been spun so hard the centrifugal force will have turned it inside out.Who cares who's doing the sleuthing...this "investigation" is just a public relations (save CBS's collective ass) move to kill time until we all forget.
They've now brushed Rather under the rug (canned him, in so many words), and it'll be back to bidniss as usual by New Years.
Buchanan is in rare form.. heh.
You missed my point. You implied that Goldberg could not have sources close to the investigation because he is an outcast among the MSM. I just suggested that he could have sources close to the investigation. Zelnick is not too popular among the MSM either. He is ABC's answer to Goldberg.
With Rather focusing his energy on being a CBS correspondent, he'll be able to devote more time to bringing down the White House and the Bush administration. He's always said he wants to be the first to break a hard news story. Just watch, he'll have something on Abu Ghraib. Scandals always seem to crop up in the second term of any administration, whether it's conjured up as ca-ca by the media, or done internally in the White House.
I heard a commentator on the radio (didn't catch his name) and he said he heard that the report was really going to rip CBS a new one (paraphrasing, lol). We can only hope so!
