Oh you mean the ONES who gave RATher a standing O and told him they were 100% behind him, at the News Media Dinner in NY the other day? DON'T HOLD YOUR BREATH! It's up to the PJ Sheriff's to boot RATher outta town!!
Good to hear they were able to talk Dan down off his chair to receive his accolades. I wouldn't want to see him hurt. Good, too, to hear, they feted him with some gala. We all know who were likely present. We all know their names (and, lately, now, their faces). We are not surprised by this (are we?). Let them mass together and support Dan. Defend the indefensible. Anyone with a streak of honesty and common sense knows what's what right now. The rest are either lying (to themselves or others) or willfully, blissfully ignorant. In either case, our cause (new media types, bloggers, Freepers, etc.) has not changed. We are to remain vigilant. Search out the truth, expose the false. Hold feet to the fire. Draw attention to the news-worthy. Shun the profane and vain babblings of those who practice misdirection.
Truth be told, I don't know if I want Dan Rather to be retired anyway. As long as he's sitting at the big ol' Black Eye's newsdesk, all of America will be mindful of what many have been saying for so long--MSM is biased, it's irresponsible, it's ethically challenged. If, though, he is cleansed from the scene, CBS can begin to reclaim their [alleged] mantle of journalistic integrity, begin to fool the sheep again, and the cover-up begins again.
