Has anyone been over to see how the DUmmies are taking this bit of news?

"Dan's 24 years at the 'CBS Evening News' is the longest run of any evening news anchor in history and is a singular achievement in broadcast journalism," Leslie Moonves, CBS chairman and co-president and co-chief operating officer of CBS parent Viacom said in a statement." Another singular record, and one likely never to be surpassed either, is Rather's 24 consecutive years of finishing DEAD LAST among the three broadcast networks' nightly news shows.
Good going, Dan. You manged to finish LAST for 24 straight years, then end by disgracing your news organization by standing behind patently fraudulent documents in a partisan hatchet job against the President during an election campaign.
You will NOT be missed. And dont worry, NO ONE will be watching you on 60 Minutes II.

That should be ABC's new mantra too, scooping this non-story. Everyone knows he was planning to step down in March prior to memogate, so what's the news story here again? :)
To: CAWats
I predict 60 Minutes will have about 60 viewers.

"Will step down next spring; will stay at 60 Minutes"
What is Rather going to forge for his next October surprise against the Republican candidate in 2008, on 60 Minutes of Lies and Fiction?

Somewhere, somebody is deeply saddened. Or something.

The news story is that CBS has manipulated a whole lot of conservatives into feeling pleased with themselves. :(
Wake up, Friends! We're being played.

Is Step-on-all-of-us going to replace him?
To: Arrowhead1952
He'd never stepped down if skerry would have won the election. Looks like the re-election of Pres Bush will have lots more outcomes; coming at us. ;o)

Couldn't happen to a 'nicer' man . . . //sarcasm.
And I think the Bloggers, including the FReepers, especially the Freepers, can pat themselves on the back for exposing the old phoney for who he is.
Let's hope he's replaced with a real journalist . . . one can only hope.
Congratulations FReepers!!!! Job well done!!!
