The meltdown continues!

[southernnorthcarolina]

Harry Smith: dead man walking. One would have to think his days at the Black Rock are numbered.

[Cicero]

Heyward and Moonves need to be fired even more than Rather. They are the people who have presided over this corrupt empire.

[RetroWarrior]

John Stewart as anchor. That's a scary thought!

[fat city]

Watch for "The Harry Smith Show"- coming soon to CNBC.

[TUX]

The Communist Broadcasting System has carried on a family tradition for the last twenty years. The talking heads will perhaps change but the entrenched leftist bias will endure. Nothing will change.

Slouching to obscurity.

Take note of the sponsors (if you can endure watching long enough to take notes), and hit them where it hurts. In the wallet. The only thing the media slimes understand.

I heard Chris Wallace today on a talk show. He does a segment each Friday to promote the Sunday show.

FWIW, this Sunday's show is pushed back two hours on broadcast to make room for the pre-pre-pre-game
Superbowl show.

Anyway, the White House had the anchors over for lunch this week with Bush and Cheney.

So, the thing's wrapping up, and Bush finally talks to Rather: "So Dan, are you retiring to Austin?"

Dan says he'll be spending some time there.

Bush says "I'll be retiring in about four years. Maybe I'll see you around." and turns away from him. Zing!

[Txsleuth]

Next thing you know, CBS will have a show called Crossfire and have Tucker Carlson and Jon Stewart face off on political news of the day, and have guests, and...

Oh, that's right been done, and failed at CNN...

Would have been more entertaining than Dan Rather or Bob Schieffer.

"One for the Dark Lord on his dark throne
In the Land of Mordor where the Shadows lie.
One Ring to rule them all, One Ring to find them,
One Ring to bring them all and in the darkness bind them
In the Land of Mordor where the Shadows lie."

The decision to paint Rather as out of the loop on the disastrous National Guard report also irked staffers who knew that "he’d read multiple drafts of the script for the story [written by producer Mapes], done most of the interviews, and had a thorough knowledge of the story’s content and point of view," according to New York Magazine.

What a CBS coverup, the ghosts of Watergate must be laughing....

The report painted Rather as an innocent overworked doofus just reading what Mary Mapes & crew had handed him right before air time. But it's coming out very differently now, and it's the CBS people turning on their own.

[ken21]

there's something odd that some people like dan rather never get booted.

i was telling a friend, if rush limbaugh had presented phony documents to out a sitting president, say clinton, he'd be off the air.

my friend said, oh, you're wrong!

yeah, right, i said. remember rush got booted from espn for making a comment about mcnabb?

my friend shut up.

[silent_jonny]

Harry Smith wants Dan's job--that's what this is, I bet. And he wouldn't be a terrible choice really. People know him and recognize him--and some even like him (not me). CBS could do a lot worse if the chose pretty boy John Roberts.

[leadpenny]

Good for you, Harry.

If CBS really wanted to keep the ship from sinking they'd try to get someone like Brian Lamb to anchor something.

I kind of like the idea of having someone new every week. I'll bet management could get an endless parade of guest hosts who would do a week for no pay.

But, what the hell do I know?

[Physicist]

Sorry, but this is still utter bullcrap. What Rather & co. did was to fabricate evidence in order to subvert a U.S. Presidental election. This isn't mere libel or slander. This is sedition, if not treason. The entire CBS News organization should be under a full-bore RICO investigation by the Justice Department. Dan Rather's retirement plans should involve learning how to earn extra Twinkies for good behavior at SuperMax.

[Savage Beast]

Meanwhile, the Democrats have no idea what the American people mean by moral values.

[leprechaun9]

WHO GIVES A $HIT?

The MSM is Going, Going, and hopefully soon GONE!

[MadIvan]

A picture says a thousand words...I believe Registered's remains the best:

[LittleMoe]

Harry has paid his dues at CBS and is probably bitter he was not asked to do the job. For some reason I never took this guy to seriously.

[Rudder]

I think Rather and his cohorts should be indicted for tampering with the election.

[hinckley buzzard]

I recently came across a book titled "Who Killed CBS?" written in 1988. Rather has been a total hemorrhoid to the company his entire career.

He must have a safety deposit box full of some very interesting photos of very powerful people, not to have been canned years ago.
