Mr. Homnick sends off Dan Rather to a fare thee well. I like the author's optimism regarding new conservative reporters too. CBS would be well served to take his advice, but they won't.

Buh bye Comrade Dan. You won't be missed!
Now... have the good grace to croak so that I can piddle on your grave. (I'll use my frequent flier miles just for this purpose!)

I think we need to put a fork in him just to make sure.

Reporters everywhere, journalists, pundits, golden-haired cubs and silver-haired veterans, will internalize this in a profound way. Wishful or wistful thinking ? Nothing will change.

Rather is NOT done.
Just steping down from the CBS anchor.
He was already set to retire in March.
He will still be reporting for CBS news AND 60 minutes.
Look for more hits on the Bush White House and the military.
He'll be busy in the background spreading the same liberal lies.

Dan is Done This Dan's still going strong.
Dan Blather is done though.

"You see, news as it happens is an unfinished product in their eyes, a crude representation of reality. It's their job to trim it and prune it, to prime it and paint it, to buff it and puff it and fluff it, to brown it and crown it, to tan it and fan it, to hold it and mold it, to shape it and scrape it, to tamp it and stamp it, to dress it and press it."
That made me smile just like reading Dr. Seuss.

Of course they won't take his advice.
The only people watching broadcast news are those stuck in fleabag motels without cable and internet service.

I have great confidence that all the lib networks (CBS, NBC, ABC, CNN, MSNBC, etc) will all vow to report the news fairly and with no bias exhibited for liberal pols or causes. Alright, alright, but we can all dream can't we?
