Be nice if Rather had remembered some old journalistic values before becoming a spin doctor himself.

Ah, yes. Old-fashioned journalistic values like advocacy, bias, plagiarism, forgery, perjury . . . .
. . . no wonder Gunga Dan is longing for the good old days when he could lie, cheat and steal unhindered . . .

I suppose he means "fabrication of stories" Rather's own legacy, is lacking in the new media.

They are no longer by necessity out there fishing for stories as much as they once were. You are not supposed to fish for stories, Dan. You report them. Just go away.....

He must be spending all his time at DU. ;)

Oh, what? Values like abject bias? Disinformation? Subversive activity? Yeah, right, Dan.

Who is Dan Rather, and why should anyone care what he says on this subject?

Thankfully, those "old fashioned journalist values" have given way to say, The Truth!

Liberal charitable acts consist of stealing conservatives' tax dollars and spending the money on liberal causes.

Whenever, this disgraced liar cites ethics, we get to laugh at him even more.

Lordy, Lordy! Does Dan Rather not have a sense of shame? Or, responsibility? Or, common sense? Or, a sense of humor?
Don't answer those. They are merely rhetorical questions. The truth is that Rather in the real world is dumb as a hoe handle, thick as a brick, and really should donate his ego to Harvard Medical School before it gets so dinged and dented that it's no good to anybody any more.
I'm not being TOO critical here, am I?
P.S. My primary is over, but because of certain legal and ethical problems, the incumbent, Charles Taylor may withdraw/be forced out, and I am in the running to be chosen as the replacement nominee for Congress in the 11th District of NC. For more information, see the article below, and my website. I still need your help.

Is this a political satire? lol
I know I know I know it wasn't but it struck me as extremely funny.

Hahah, remind us, Dan, what ARE those values? Kind of hard to pick them out these days. Or are you talking about Yellow Journalism values? And doing a kind of historical revisit of those days?? Get back to me ...

Dan can not stop himself.
The more he talks, the more he hurts himself.
