Dan Rather Stepping Down(CBS Announcement)

[BigSkyFreeper]

HAH. ABC scoops a CBS anchor stepping down. This isn't news, this has been in the works for months.

[XJarhead]

eh, no way I'm boycotting both Lowe's and Home Depot. I need to get that stuff somewhere.

The truth is that most major companies probably support one thing or the other with which I disagree. While I might boycott the occasional company if they really do something over the top, I can't do it every time they do something I don't like. Being a sponsor of Rather's show hardly strikes me as something to get all flustered about.

[beachn4fun]

Well it's all FReepers fault. (snicker)

[WKUHilltopper]

Dan's new mantra: "Will fabricate stories for food"

[Anti-MSM]

I'm just glad he stuck around long enough to see President Bush reelected, despite his best efforts to prevent his reelection.

Buh bye! Thanks for flying Blatant Liberal Bias Airlines! Hope you enjoy your stay in obscurity! Write when you find work! Take care! Bye now! Mmmmm kaaaay?

[Grampa Dave]

Note to the left wing maggots in charge of CBS phoney news. We have our eye on your eye!

[No Blue States]

Dan Rather's contrived folksiness went over like a Satan-burger with a side of Hell-fries at a So-born-again-they-think-Heaven-is-sinful Southern Baptist Bible Revival fried-chicken-picnic-and-Gospel-turkey-shoot.

Bwhahahaha!!!!

[wouldntbprudent]

hahahaha

Congrats, Freepers/Bloggers/Truth-Seekers everywhere! There's a new accountability on the block and you, Mr. Rather, are the poster boy for what not to do.

"Dan’s dedication to his craft and his remarkable skills as a reporter are legendary," said CBS News President Andrew Heyward.

The "legend" of Dan Rather is that of a pathetic leftwing hack.

DAN RATHER steps down as...

FIDEL CASTRO's
HILLARY CLINTON's
BILL CLINTON's
JOHN KERRY's
AL GORE'S


...guitar gently weeps.


...And Freerepublic's gloriously sings

...just for the CLARITY of it.

BALLAD OF DAN RATHER

(Think "Beverly Hillbillies" theme song)

Come and listen to my story 'bout a man named Dan,
The documents were fake and he didn't give a dam*;
He put 'em on the air, an' he thought he'd done the job,
But up from the web come a howlin' mob.

Blogs, that is.
Web logs.
Checkin' facts.

Well, the first thing you know ol' Dan's a-runnin' fast;
Made a false report an' it bit him in the a$$;
He said 'dog-gonnit, I done thought I'd get away!'
But it turned out to be his a-reckonin' day.

Busted, that is.
Red-faced.
Mud in the eye.

Well, now it's time to say goodbye to Dan and all his men;
And they would like to shoot you folks for turnin' them in;
You're all invited back next week to watch the Evening News,
And see which correspondent's picked to fill Dan's empty shoes.

Y'all come back, now, hear?

Media Research Center:
Dan Ra^ther on Bill Clinton:
"I think he’s an honest man."

   O’Reilly: "I want to ask you flat out, do you think President Clinton’s an honest man?"
    Ra^ther: "Yes, I think he’s an honest man."
    O’Reilly: "Do you, really?"
    Ra^ther: "I do."
    O’Reilly: "Even though he lied to Jim Lehrer’s face about the Lewinsky case?"
    Ra^ther: "Who among us has not lied about something?"
    O’Reilly: "Well, I didn’t lie to anybody’s face on national television. I don’t think you have, have you?"
    Ra^ther: "I don’t think I ever have. I hope I never have. But, look, it’s one thing-"
    O’Reilly, jumping in: "How can you say he’s an honest guy then?"
    Ra^ther: "Well, because I think he is. I think at core he’s an honest person. I know that you have a different view. I know that you consider it sort of astonishing anybody would say so, but I think you can be an honest person and lie about any number of things."
    O’Reilly: "Really?!?"
    Ra^ther: "Yeah, I do."
    O’Reilly: "See, I can’t. I want my government to be honest across-the-board. I don’t want people lying."
