Dan Rather cries censorship; news at 11

Dirty Dan Rather was accepting a lifetime achievement award when he (and another moonbat from HBO films) started complaining about "the climate of fear" in newsrooms. He said he didn't even have it this bad during Nixon. Just goes to show we're making some progress after all, I guess. He bemoaned the existence of cable and internet news sources, and claimed that the news was "skiewed" now.

I don't even know where to start when he says that...

Hey Dan...you tried to overthrow another President...you got caught this time....deal with it, Moonbat.

Hi Dan, really sucks being you, huh?

Congratulations.

Your legacy is on a par with the only impeached President in our nation's history.

You said you wanted to be as successful as him and by God you did it!

Cartoon really sums it up, doesn't it?!

(Wish I could come up a nifty "Ratherism" to describe it!)

Did he feel any "climate of fear" when he was kissing Castro's and Hussein's *sses?

"the climate of fear" in newsrooms

Dan Rather was a major contributor to "the climate of fear" in newsrooms. Especially his own. He played down and dirty ruthless hardball. No one dared to cross this newsroom dictator.

The king is dead. Good!

It's telling the transparency they demand in so many other institutions doesn't sit well in the newsroom.

Well said! I think now that people are seeing how "the news" is made, they don't want it any more. Kinda like cheap hot dogs.

It's always fun to knock a weirdo and Rather tops the list of them.

Dandy Danny boy epitomizes everything that's wrong with mainstream "journalists" these days. Partisan democrat operatives who disguise themselves as "newsmen".
