...wanna bet that Hollywood will make Rather a victim of a shadowy right wing conspiracy....namely us.

"Money is ^the master," wrote Ms. Mapes." ^That is ^the bottom line to what happened at CBS ^that fateful fall when we aired a story ^that, like all stories, was imperfect, but was absolutely grounded in fact. It was well researched and well documented. But when Viacom saw ^that ^the story was not well received and ^that a conservative firestorm was ^threatening ^the corporation's financial well-being, ^their collective wallets started itching. As a result, I believe CBS News, 60 Minutes, Dan Ra^ther, and journalism itself got badly scratched."

Wonder who they are going to get to play you? hehehe...

[isom35]

will the title be “Fake but Accurate” or does someone have the rights to that?

We all know who should play "Hanoi" John.

[marron]

we aired a story that, like all stories, was imperfect, but was absolutely grounded in fact.

So the evidence was forged; our hearts were in the right place. We know Bush is evil. We get paid to make these judgments. We shouldn't be held to the same evidentiary requirements as normal people.

They are delusional.

This has to be a joke. Maybe they will make it a sci-fi movie where time traveling Dan Rather goes back to 1972 with a copy of Microsoft Word?

“Along the way, she lays much of the groundwork for what could be a juicy White House conspiracy thriller.”

Rove ginned up the documents and got a liberal in Texas to fax them to CBS via contacts in the DNC. < /s >

“No word yet on who might play Mr. Rather if the script ever makes it to production.”
I think Harry Reid would be just right.

[weegee]

wrote the screenplay for the 2007 serial killer movie Zodiac—based on the nonfiction book by Robert Graysmith

Considering Zodiac has never been caught or prosecuted or confessed, there is a lot of fiction in the movie even if was based on "nonfiction".

About as accurate as making a movie about the Jon Benet murder. Too many unknowns.

Leftists are at perpetual war with reality, which is why they gravitate toward newsrooms, universities, and entertainment media.

If reality is unfriendly to you, and if you can’t change the reality, then the next best thing is to control the public’a perception of it.

This wouldn't be the first film made about internal drama at CBS News: In 1999, Michael Mann directed The Insider, an account of 60 Minutes and its struggle with tobacco company Brown & Williamson. That movie was nominated for seven Oscars, including for Best Actor and Best Director.

I thought that Jack Nickolson's character in Broadcast News was also based on Dan Rather.

These undead zombies just won’t go away!!!

They need to be crushed, once and for all. The MSM has protected them to an extraordinary degree, so that even though much of the blogosphere knows what a total crock their ‘factual’ story was, much of the public and media do not really know much about it all.

Rather and Mapes have still gotten away with the crime of the century, even though they are no longer at CBS — they did not receive the comprehensive destruction they deserved and they are still being taken seriously by moonbats and Hollyweird freaks.

[Political Junkie Too]

Wow! Are they going to talk about how Burkett and Joe Lockhart met? Are they going to talk about how the DNC film "Fortunate Son" and the CBS News piece ran in a practically coordinated way?
