Good night, Dan, but it's our good luck that your biased reporting will be watched by an audience of hundreds on some obscure channel most cable systems don't even carry. If a reporter lies on a channel that nobody watches, will it really matter?
Courage.

Let's give it six months, just for laughs, then Old Dan can sing "Thanks for the Memories" ala Connie Chung last week, LOL!
Thanks again Mr. Robinson, for Free Republic! You had a BIG hand in knocking this idiot off his pedestal via the availability of this forum. God Bless You! :)

He leaves one hardly-watched network for another. Hmmm.
Courage.

won't miss him, haven't watched him, hate his creepy guts, and my opinion of CBS has risen to a high of .0000012 on a scale of 1 - 10 for helping him see the door and humiliating him to boot.....

Did he join ALgores channel? It would be a perfect fit.

Out with a whimper ... you giant @ss!
You covered the events all right - and spun them with your twisted mind.
Why do you think it is that so many have so little or no respect for you Dan?

The report relied on documents that were revealed as fakes....Interesting that the Guardian understand the documents were fake, but Dan and Mapes still won't admit it. He did so much bad "reporting" during his years at CBS. I'm glad he was finally brought down and sorry it took so long.

If he were a GOOD reporter, this would have been his scoop of a lifetime...

I guess he has too big an ego to simply retire and fade into obscurity.

This reminds me of the producer for nightline who was fired after the segment about the flaming saddle tanks on the Ford F-150's. I heard he ended up editing some paper in Arkansas.

Does "quit" equal "fired" in Guardianspeak?

The Media Research Center has been chronicling Rather's incredible unprofessional behavior, bias, and bizarre behavior for years now.
Morons in charge at CBS were asleep at the switch, and never acted on criticism they knew was valid until it was too late.
Even after Bernard Goldberg (a former CBS reporter) blew the whistle with his book "Bias" did nothing to cause the management at CBS to act.
Can anyone believe now that CBS once trusted Dan Rather and Connie Chung to be their co-anchors and representatives for credibility?

Mr Rather should be going to jail rather than to another job. His biased reporting of the fake Bush military memos was election tampering IMHO......
