Danny-boy has reaped what he had sown. Wonder how many other lies he told that he didn't get caught in! Seems the Suits have finally had enough...of having their wallets taking the hit!



He has a long list of lies. The New Media didn't exist or have the muscle to uncover and counter the prior whoppers.

How bout he goes to PBS and WE end up paying his salary?

There is precedent for this, with the paranoid crackpot Daniel Schorr.

I'm going to keep an eye out for Wally Cronkite to come out defending Dan Blather.

Maybe CBS can replace him with Jason Leopold?

All I can say, sir, is THANK YOU for your service to this country. : D

Ditto to THAT!!!

And I might add Buckhead, that if FR had jerseys with numbers ala the NFL, that should you one day choose to retire from posting, your jersey number should be retired and placed in the FR Hall of Fame.

To refresh memories, here's a partial transcript of ABC's Brian Ross' interview with CBS' Mary Mapes and links to Media Research's Dishonor Awards ceremony showing same.

Note:Emphasis is mine.

Brian Ross: Do you still think that story was true?

Mary Mapes: The story? Absolutely.

BR: This seems remarkable to me that you would sit here now and say you still find that story to be up to your standards.

MM: I'm perfectly willing to believe those documents are forgeries if there's proof that I haven't seen.

BR: But isn't it the other way around? Don't you have to prove they're authentic?

MM: Well, I think that's what critics of the story would say. I know more now than I did then and I think, I think they have not been proved to be false, yet.

BR: Have they proved to be authentic, though? Isn't that really what journalists do?

MM: No, I don't think that's the standard.

Dan Rather is Not an Ex-Marine


http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1221194/posts



Dan Rather cannot call himself an Ex-Marine, and he must stop referring to himself as such. To be a Marine, a recruit must graduate from boot camp, and Dan Rather did not; he was medically discharged before graduation.

I just picture you typing this thread onto FR from the men's room via laptop at this party in the Hamptons!

Any chance CBS will pass his pension along to you, instead?
