The unkindest cut of all?
A media consultant on Fox and Friends the other morning pointed out that Rather made his bones on Nixon and Watergate and it is so ironic that when confronted with this debacle of his own making, Rather's reaction was downright "Nixonesque".

Let's not forget that this isn't CBS' first questionable anti-Republican "memo."

To break Watergate into the Public Consciousness, CBS broadcast a "memo" supposedly written on official Nixon White House letterhead in which every detail of how to break in and what to take out of the psychiatrist's (for Pentagon Papers leaker Ellsberg) office.

Now really, just how credible is the thought today that Nixon had someone type up that sort of "memo" on official White House letterhead?!

CBS, did you forge Watergate, too?

Besides, now he's hearing voices! Yep, he regularly speaks to, I think this is right, Edward R. Murrow, whose been gone from earth for a while. He gets stranger and stranger. Wonder who his channeler is?
