His comments strike me as "fake, but accurate"
It's called competition. It's a healthy thing. Learn to adapt or become extinct.
"I gave it everything I had, I didn't hold anything back. I did the best newscast we were capable of doing," Rather said.
That's it? That's all you had?
Unreal! The dying, socialist "mainstream" newsrooms are shaking in their boots because now they know that they will be called on every lie, distortion, and forgery that they dream up in order to smear conservatives and Republicans. It is way past time for the old media to simply crawl away and die.
In the meantime we will always be left to wonder: How many brazen lies and forged memos did the dinosaur news media get away with over the decades before us new guys showed up to expose them? It is a frightening question to ponder.
I'm surprised that emotional Dan is not mad at you personally.
Hey Dan ... if ther internet was around in Nixon's day
We would have caught you in your lies then also
Only because their socialistic house of cards is falling. Anything else they say just is spin. They can't handle the truth getting out.
All this 'blather' from Dan about Politicians applying pressure is a hoot.
He and his coworkers were never intimidated by anyone and kept spewing their lying versions until they were finally caught in their lies and their ratings went down the drain.
That's what he's crying about.
God bless you and everyone along the Gulf Coast...we're praying this one will fizzle fast, but if Texans have to evacuate they can be certain they'll be well cared for on the South Plains (and elsewhere).
Brace yourself for the nasty MSM onslaught ("the White House was certainly quicker to protect TX than NOLA)... they're as predictable as a hangover and about as welcome.
BTW, how was the tailgating? ;)
there is a climate of fear running through newsrooms stronger than he has ever seen in his more than four-decade career

mmmm... Smells yummy!
First of all....I HATE the saying "truth to power" and coming from HIS mouth...whose almost LAST newscast was a LIE...makes me sick...
However, I must also say this....WHAT IS ALL OF THESE MEN CRYING????
Voinivich--twice! Coburn! Rather!
What is the wide, wide world of sports is going on here???
Pray for W and Our Iraq Winning Troops
I wish I had seen this - - I would love to see Rather in tears, with his lip quivering.
He is yesterday's garbage.
Who cares about sad statements of a lying has been.
Was it fake but accurate?
Now, am I the only one to notice that Dan Rather and Baghdad Bob look like body doubles or identical twins?
Dan Rather? No that name doesn't ring a bell. But wait, Pavlov, that's a name that rings a bell.
Dan will be dead within 2 years.
"I gave it everything I had, I didn't hold anything back. I did the best newscast we were capable of doing," Rather said
Memogate the best you were capable of and it was a complete failure - as were you!
"Dan will be dead within 2 years."
18 months.
