Have a great weekend, y'all -- God bless.
Rather is a delusional paranoid psychopath, living proof that liberalism is a mental disorder.
He swearers he took it out of his Selectric typewriter just before the show.
Dan finally succumbed to a basic communist/socialist prinicpal. He told a lie so big that even he believes it.
Rather is so hung up on the "truth" of this document, I'd be willing to bet that his own daughter is the source. How could he doubt his daughter?
This is what Dan Rather means when he says he's a man of faith.
This is good. The longer Dan wears his delusions in public the more naked he looks. If CBS is suicidal enough to actually air any of his post-anchor reports, they'll have zero credibility. A win-win, really. Any network that was satisfied to let Dan and the ghost of Edward R. Murrow pilot their ship deserves to sink with no lifeboats.

Physical exams were irrelevant to someone like GWB who'd already taken physicals and flown for 3 years and no more flying was required (on top of that, the F-102 had started to be phased out anyway); they were never considered worth writing him up for except in the FAKE memos, the source of which SeeBS refuses to identify. The attitude of SeeBS and everyone who sided with them seems to be that it's OK to plant evidence if you think -- or at least hope -- someone's guilty.

The NYTimes' and Flim Flam Dan Rather's claims that yes, the memos are fake, but what they say is true -- amounts to saying it's OK to fabricate and plant evidence if you think -- or at least hope -- someone's guilty.

Ex-CBS News Prez Can't Stand Rather
Former CBS News president Van Gordon Sauter said Thursday that Dan Rather's liberal bias has so permeated the "CBS Evening News" that even he can't stand to watch anymore.
"I stopped watching it some time ago," the ex-network news boss writes in today's Los Angeles Times. "The unremitting liberal orientation finally became too much for me."
Sauter, who ran the Tiffany network's news division in the early 1980s, said he still checks in from time to time, but "less and less frequently." Instead, "I increasingly drift to NBC News and Fox and MSNBC," he said.
The former news exec said this week's firings of four CBS employees in response to the Rathergate scandal exposed the real problem for network news:
"A large swath of the society doesn't trust the news media," he contended. "And for many, it's even stronger than that: They abhor the media and perceive it as an escalating threat to the society."
If the erosion of public trust isn't stopped, warns Sauter, viewers will look elsewhere for their news product.
"Those readers and viewers most comfortable in the center – will try to find something ... in the center," he argues.
But that could lead to "a lot of scrupulously impartial . . . news sources, managed by research-driven executives who find it a good marketing approach."
Ultimately, says Sauter, "banality will trump opinion."
Anyone who has read or heard parts of the Thornburgh report will see that basically Rather tried to cover his @ss and let the others below him take the fall. He also used his influence to circumvent normal journalist reporting.
I been suggested all day yesterday and I will again today, that we coin a few new phrases in the aftermath of Rathergate.
1. The Dan Rather Syndrome
The Dan Rather Syndrome: Noun. A pervasive attitude in one's work environment where the boss often has his subordinates take the blame for any of his (or her) wrong doing so as to cover his own @ss.
For example:
"My boss has Dan Rather Syndrome. He let two of us take the hit for his screw up on those mutual funds."
2. danrathered.
dan-rath'-erred: verb 1. to be let go to cover the incompetent missteps taken by a superior. 2. using one's influence to overturn the will of a majority of people.
Example:
"My boss danrathered me. He let me take the fall for his blunder that cost us the Anderson account."
3. Danrather Journalism
danrather journalism: noun. A term that denotes politically biased journalism.
example:
"The editorial displayed evidence of danrather journalism, portraying the republican senator as a racist."
Let this be Dan Rather's legacy.
nikos
Rather still thinks John Kerry may Ohio, also.
"What is the frequency, Dan?"
Anyway, that's... My Two Cents... "JohnHuang2"
The two cents worth that is always worth a cool million, in my book! Thanks JH2
Dan Rather is the solution.
Dan Rather is not betraying liberal mainstream media -- he is its ultimate fulfillment. He is the promised one. He is everything that is wrong about contemporary journalism. "It is because I say so! Damn the facts."
The best thing is to have him continue in the public eye as a constant embarrassment to all the would-be Dans in every editors' office in the nation. Yes, you really look that way to everybody else.
"Mr. Rather, the Reverend Jesse Jackson will now see you."
Never happen, of course.
Is that your work? It's great!
Nice!
i wrote moonves when the story broke before the election and told him that rather should resign.
Very well writte, John.
