“I would like to build something that lasts in terms of integrity,” Mr. Rather said.

That has to be the most BS-laden statement I have ever read.

Hey, maybe Rather is going to bring in Rush Limbaugh in order to infuse some integrity into his liddle news program?

Of course for TOTAL integrity, he would have to leave and get Brit Hume to team up with Limbaugh.

Say, the Hume-Limbaugh Report has a ring to it.

Could be even bigger than Huntley-Brinkley!

I thought the same as you when I heard that he used the “i” (integrity) word.

Mr. Rather said his primary challenge at HDNet is creating news content that is as good as the high-definition picture the network sends out.

“I would like to build something that lasts in terms of integrity,” Mr. Rather said.

integrity:

1. Steadfast adherence to a strict moral or ethical code.
2. The state of being unimpaired; soundness.
3. The quality or condition of being whole or undivided; completeness.

Mr. Rather believes that whatever makes journalists seem important is good for the country - and that nothing else has any significance. That is why, in his opinion, journalism is "objective" by definition. And why people who are not journalists but who believe that nothing actually matters except PR, and who therefore toady to journalism unreservedly, are "liberals" and "progressives." And why those who think that reality matters are "conservatives" or "right wingers."

Since that is what he believes, "The quality or condition of being whole or undivided" would require that he say so openly.
