Fenton is a darn good journalist.
I was disappointed when he retired, but he got no airtime anymore, so who could blame the guy for saying goodbye? I had not seen a report by him in months.
If tv news ignores his criticism, they do so at their own peril.

It's about more than Dan Rather too, although he was a big problem. The rest of the MSM and corporate ownership might like Dan to draw all the fire away from the larger story and let him be the fall guy.
And yeah, he is a liberal who partly in this book is ripping the news for not criticizing Bush more on the war, but it still is a good book. I enjoyed it, but maybe because I am a news junkie.

It would be interesting if FoxNews could maybe hire Fenton with a commitment to expand international news coverage with more boots on the ground. They may already have that covered, however, and of course there has to be a mutual philosophical affinity there. The big question may be, "If there are not the ad dollars there to justify it, do we just do without?" That seems to be the daunting question, and one that is more than a little scary.
