So why then is "Scud Stud" Arthur Kent doing stand-ups for the History Channel? And why is "War Slut" Christianne Amanpour still doing the same schtick a decade later?
Rather actually built his name during the Kennedy Assassination. He was southern states bureau chief at CBS News in November, 1963, fielding reports on the building civil rights movement in the south when Kennedy was gunned down.
Nobody said the people who BUILT their names during war could KEEP their names during peacetime. Neither of these folks is a particularly good journalist, which may explain why they are in such ... obscure ... positions, even after making headlines during Gulf I.
As to Dan Rather, I had never heard of him until Vietnam. Any role he played in reporting the Kennedy assassination has been lost to me.
