"It doesn't matter who replaces Rather. Everyone at that level of broadcast journalism has been ideologically vetted. No one who is a conservative is allowed to ascend to the top of major news organizations. If you disagree, try naming one. Despite plummeting ratings and numerous surveys that have shown large numbers of people believe the major networks approach the things conservatives care about with a bias, even hostility, network executives refuse to acknowledge those feelings and continue to present the news through the filter of their leftist ideological worldview."

And Rather will STILL be doing stories for CBS and 60 minutes.

And STILL be running things in the background.

Big deal, America won't see him on camera as much
BUT they will see his lies about the Bush White House and the military.

And NEVER FORGET Rather's PREVIOUS attacks on Viet Nam Vets
over the years.

Personally I don't bother to watch any national news anymore.

ABC, AP, CBS, CNN, FOX, MSNBC, NBC, NY Times
refused to ever ask Hanoi Kerry why he never signed Form 180

ABC, AP, CBS, CNN, FOX, MSNBC, NBC, NY Times
refuse to call for Hanoi Kerry to be impeached from the US SEnate

So I refuse to watch or read them.

Free Republic, where you get the REAL stories that the media refuses to carry!

This is what we call "evolution in action"

These imbeciles do not want to adapt. That is the classic cause of extinction in the 500 million year history of evolution. Adapt or die.

I guess they have picked extintion.

Pity.

I blame Dan Rathers for cancelling Garfield and Friends.

You get the real stories here, you think there are not disgruntled journalists out there, as well as media insiders just as fed up as everyone else?

We ourselves are diggers, and not by lucky happenstance successful at it.

Bump!

I wish I recalled who it was here who was talking about their daughter being schooled in journalism. It was pretty amazing when the Freeper told how the daughter's papers kept getting returned as not left-leaning. I guess media types are brainwashed as they are educated. And I guess we are not surprised.

Ping thanks, Tonk. But Rather is only losing his anchor chair, he'll be on 60 Minutes with the rest of the old lib codgers till Father Time intervenes.

[skinkinthegrass]
