I am a loving, kind, sensitive, and forgiving man. And thinking about all the things Dan Rather has accomplished in his career, I feel...no sympathy.

Dan Rather follows in his communist predecesors foot steps.

Say good night Walter. Say good night Dan.

Maybe they should show him sitting in the corner facing the wall somewhere in the background as a part of the live broadcast.

I don't want Rather's scalp. He's of more use to us sitting in that anchor chair forever tainted.

I DO want an apology..for the President. The one thing CBS will never do.

Infighting. I wasn't aware of this particular nuance.

Meanwhile, Mapes is officially defending the documents as authentic.

Tom's gone, Dan's soon to be gone. If we can just get that damned Canadian off the air, life will be good.....

Considering how firmly he publicly backed the story, it must be real embarrassing for Dan Rather to hear how damning the cover-up report was about him and his fellow sloppy journalists.

Hanity today was right on in that the report totally ignored the political bias aspect and focused on sloppy journalism. Which if you investigate the tagline I am using will show how ironic this whole TANG forged document flap is. Dan Rather has lectured journalists on correct procedure regarding stories (see tag line) and yet when cornered he said that CBS had done everything right and stood by the Story. He knew better and lied to the public destroying his credibility to try to take down George W Bush.

Let me make the tagline link a little easier

I like how the report credited the perfect journalistic storm as including the fact that their seasoned anchor backed the story and that is why CBS goofed.

Yes, Dan you belong in the woodshed.

Congratulations to Mat Drudge, less bias, more accuracy and many days faster with the news that people need.

Moonves explained in a memo: "Dan Rather has already apologized for the segment and taken responsibility for his part in the broadcast

He NEVER apologized to the President.

O'Really claims none of this is Dan's fault. He didn't have time to research the story himself because he just returned from covering the Convention.

Well, I want to say this after what has happened. If this short of thing happened to Brit Hume or anyone else on fox, Brit Hume would have been fired and heads would have rolled more for fox! Dan Blather got away with just a slap on the wrist!

CBS staffers were shocked Monday when CBS president Les Moonves suddenly tied Rather's upcoming resignation to the phony document flap, a departure from CBS's official storyline.

This is why Old Dan is sitting home and pouting........the CBS honchos
promised him they'd "stick to the story line" that Rather is "retiring".
They lied.

C'mon! Dan's not home pouting or being punished! Dan is home forging some other documents to redeem humself in the eyes of the neocommunist left from whom he takes orders.

They got away with the Lehman forgeries in Kerry's military papers, why wouldn't they have gotten away with some additional forgeries about Bush.

What we should be dong s searching back over the tenure of the zealous liberal left-wingers and see what other stories they did are based on forgeries. How many times has 60 Minutes waved a document in the face of some corporate officer and hit him over the head with it? They were forgeries!!!

Proof that Dan was intentionally try to fake evidence to sink Bush is, of course, in the fact that he never once mentioned what Kerry might have been hiding by his refusal to sign an SF-180. This would have been much more interesting to an honest "journalist."

If Dan Rather doesn't go on the air, will anyone notice?

Can someone please explain to me why the regular Fox channel does not have a national nightly news to compete with the big 3? This seems like a no brainer to me.

After reading the report ; Rather should not be staying home, but staying in JAIL.

cBS did everything but put DIOXIN in President Bush's soup.
