Dan Rather reports . . . on himself

"Fielding preselected audience questions"

Would Rather cover an interview that required pre-selectecd questions?

[WestTexasWend]

hehehe

Dan's "interview" of Saddam was pre-approved, I'm sure.
Not that it had to be, since they both blame Bush.

Libs have no problem censoring others, or being censored, when it's to their benefit.

Can anybody recall Hillary's last open press conference?

[RJL]

When the Swiftboat vets stood up to Kerry and when freepers stood up to CBS, how come Rather cried like a little girl about it, when they were following his advice?

Exactly, Dan has no problem kissing up to liberals of any kind, but he will lie and fight to completely destroy any conservative.

Can anybody recall Hillary's last open press conference?

Her what?

What journalism needs, Rather told the audience, is more: more backbone in questioning powerful leaders, more facts (and less speculation), more money and time from publishers, and more international coverage. Journalists, he said, must recognize that they have a duty and reconnect with their role in a system of checks and balances. "American journalism needs a spine transplant and we need it quickly," he said.>/i>

LoL!

What the media needs is truth in broadcasting and to leave the political bias and twisting of the truth out of the picture.

You, Dan have shown to be the epitome of media bias and have no basis to show yourself to be the spokesperson for the directive of the MSM after your proved lack of media sense in the recent past.

[arthurus]

Rather thinks MSM is part of the government and that his ouster was an illegitimate political act.

[Donald Rumsfeld Fan]

Obliquely referring to Rather's troubles, one member asked what role bloggers had played in his career. "Their influence was less than perceived," he said, equally obliquely. Some bloggers, he said, have found blogging to be "a good way to further a particular political agenda. It's not a crime," he said. But the public should recognize "there's a new opportunity here to manipulate public opinion."

"Some bloggers have found blogging to be "a good way to further a particular political agenda.....but I've found that cranking out fake documents is much more effective......and don't forget what the slickmeister taught us......if caught...deny..deny...deny.
