I'm amazed that CBS didn't grasp the limited value of Dan Rather back in 1999/2000. His attitude and lack of common sense are obvious. CBS management left their wagon tied to this horse...until the horse was laying on the side of the road. They should have switched up several years ago. Even the number of viewers should have told that story. While Fox news kept building up and taking viewers...CBS tied itself to Dan and his obvious anti-Bush left lean. Fox has full control of the bulk of nightly viewers now...and it will take a huge move by any of the networks to trim Fox back down.
If he had run that 60 min. without the documents he'd still be there.
