Dan Rather doesn't understand,just like the detectives in Dragnet the people want the facts and just the facts not Rathers opinion, we don't want to know how you feel about the story we just want the plain boring facts and we want them to be true and accurate to a T, we want the spelling checked, the facts checked and all the word pronounced properly... and again we don't care how the reporter cares or feels about the story, we will decide if its sad, wrong or unfair don't try to steer us toward your opinion, we don't care.

Dan Rather can't be dumbed down. He's Bargin Basement Dan, the Fraudulant Document Man. Hey Dan, say "Hello" to Lucy Rameriz for me...

Dan, you're a liar and you're boring. I'm not interested in hearing from ex-newshacks any more than ex-presidents.

"When a man is close to tears discussing his work and his lip quivers, he deserves bosses who punch back. I feel I would punch back for Dan," Nevins said. One thing hasn't changed - the cast of characters is still made up of pompous, pumped-up, self-absorbed drama queens convinced of their own intelligence and importance for no reason that is evident to anyone who made it through grammar school. Watergate wasn't the best thing ever to happen to broadcast news, it was the very worst. Nixon's final revenge was to leave the field to this gaggle of pompadoured darlings who aren't fit to polish his gravestone.

There was a time (nearly 30 years ago) that I thought Dan Rathers and Barbara Walters were "IT".....after getting out of broadcast news 10 years later I had a different opinion.
My opinion of them hasn't changed, however, I must agree with much of what he is saying here.
Flame away at me for that opinion and I will respond - but not until I return from physical therapy in the morning, as I am calling it a night for now.

Former CBS News anchor Dan Rather said Monday that there is a climate of fear running through newsrooms stronger than he has ever seen in his more than four-decade career.
So progress is being made

the advent of 24-hour cable competition and the chase for ratings and demographics -- has taken its toll on the news business. "All of this creates a bigger atmosphere of fear in newsrooms," Rather said. What he was afraid of was being uncovered as a fraud.

Dan Rather is right, at least with regards to 24-hour news and the competition for ratings between Faux News, CNN and MSNBC. All are worthless now as they all focus on ratings, not quality content.
As a result, the Internet has superceded the television as the best place to get news information. Unless, of course, you want to hear about Aruba missing teen or (insert missing white chick here).

"Former CBS News anchor Dan Rather said Monday that there is a climate of fear running through newsrooms stronger than he has ever seen in his more than four-decade career. " So what? This disgrace should not even be permitted the privilege of seeing what a newsroom looks like these days, after the dishonest propaganda he's been shown to have perpetrated.
This has-been needs to head out to the pasture. Maybe the cows will listen to his lies and delusions of grandeur.
To: aculeus
in the intervening years, politicians "of every persuasion" had gotten better at applying pressure on the conglomerates that own the broadcast networks As Dan and his ilk willfully and gleefully participated in that pressure as dictated by the DNC
He called it a "new journalism order.
What's the frequency Kenneth ?
To: aculeus
"Rather was accompanied by... Sheila Nevins, both of whom were due to receive lifetime achievement awards at the News and Documentary Emmy Awards on Monday evening." That's for fiction writing, right?

"When a man is close to tears discussing his work and his lip quivers, he deserves bosses who punch back. I feel I would punch back for Dan," Nevins said. Damn shame when a legendary news anchor can no longer have his lies and forged documents go unchallenged.

OH!
THAT Dan Rather! Right...I remember now! The arrogant, self righteous, Clinton fawning, "can't get the font right", lying leftist....Dan Rather. :-)
I had "almost" forgotten. :-)
But not q-u-i-t-e.

Who could have guessed a few years ago that we would be hearing from Dan Rather -- unemployed, sobbing about how unfair life is, getting his support from some soft-porn producer -- whining about the Good Old Days? Sometimes life can be so beautiful.
