Disgraced one-time CBS anchor Dan Rather, 75, who hosts Dan Rather Reports, a weekly news program on HDNet, told the HD World Conference and Exposition in New York last week that, because network news is not broadcast in high-def, viewers are apt to confuse war-zone footage with a video game. "Some of the realities of war will hit home in a way it has never done before" when viewers can see the carnage in crisp, crystal-clear high-def – as, coincidentally they would if they subscribed to HDNet, the 24-hour high-def TV network available on satellite and a handful of cable systems.
The Stiletto, for one, would have loved to see those fake National Guard memos in high-def – on a 46-inch flat panel LCD.
NOTE: This is the second article in a feature called "The Daily Blade," and appears under an article on school desegregation titled, "For The Good Of The Children?" The original source includes links to relevant articles and Web sites.
HiDef = More cowbell!

I thought this old fool would be down in Havana, doing everything possible to nurse his good friend back to health
So if it's not HD it's not real. According to Danny boy we peons can't tell the difference between live footage and a video game.
That's the way to recruit subscribers, insult their intelligence.
