"As recently stated by Dan Rather - who was, of course, forced out of his anchor job after angering the White House - television news has been "dumbed down and tarted up."

And how dumb did Dan think television viewers were when he tried to effect the outcome of a presidential election by broadcasting a FORGED document. Thank God for Buckhead and Free Republic.
