Texas titan signing off (Dan Rather); good bye and good riddance

The Dallas Morning News ^ | March 8, 2005 | By ED BARK / The Dallas Morning News

[He Rides A White Horse]

Dan Rather isn't 'signing off"; he's being transferred to another propaganda organ of the communist run media.

Don't be fooled by this stuff; he's been promoted to senior statesman by the lib-commie prop big media.

[He Rides A White Horse]

Dan Rather is being moved from the Ministry of Information" to KGB propaganda headquarters. That's all this is.

[MeekOneGOP]

Oh, yeah. Now, he'll be able to devote his full attention to:

60 Minutes Lies

[GW and Twins Pawpaw]

GW is far more Texan than Blather hole could ever hope to be. I am sorry that the good people of Rosenburg will be linked to him as being a native of their community.

Good graphic, Meek. Sad to say, he graduated from the same college my son did. Maybe he spent too much time talking to inmates on Death Row!!

[MeekOneGOP]

Did you see Gunga Dan last night? His LAST broadcast on the See^BS Evening News?

I NEVER watch anything but FOX News but made an exception last night and watched the last 10 minutes of Gunga Dan.

He brought up his old "Courage" BS. Sheesh!

C^BS .....

[SeaBiscuit]

"They know going in that I'll work hard. I'll be unrelenting in pursuit of big game.""

Big Game? You mean like Pee Wee Herman?

[MeekOneGOP]

hehe! :^D

[potlatch]

No, I haven't watched him in years but I knew I'd see anything interesting on Fox News, and I did! That was a goofy sign off wasn't it?!!

[MeekOneGOP]

No, I haven't watched him in years but I knew I knew I'd see anything interesting on Fox News, and I did! That was a goofy sign off wasn't it?!!

LOL! Yes it was.

On Brit Hume's Special Report last night, they showed a parody of Gunga Dan's last moments on the News broadcast.

The first part was his stupid "Courage" thing and then they showed him being "ejected" from the Anchor seat via a spring under his chair. It was funny. I think they said it was put together by NBC's news people.

[potlatch]

I saw that ejection seat! LOL, it went so fast I wished they would repeat it, I think Fred said the same thing!

[MeekOneGOP]

LOL!

Yep! Fred Barnes told Brit Hume he wanted to see it again, that's right.

Those two are my favorites on Special Report. I hate it when either one is out.

Oh, I like Krauthammer, too!

How to Make a Guerrilla Documentary
(Liberal Campaign to smear FOX News)

''Outfoxed'' has been made in secret. The film is an obsessively researched expose of the ways in which Fox News, as Greenwald sees it, distorts its coverage to serve the conservative political agenda of its owner, the media tycoon Rupert Murdoch. It features interviews with former Fox employees, leaked policy memos written by Fox executives and extensive footage from Fox News, which Greenwald is using without the network's permission. The result is an unwavering argument against Fox News that combines the leftist partisan vigor of a Michael Moore film with the sober tone and delivery of a PBS special. A large portion of the film's $300,000 budget came in the form of contributions in the range of $80,000 from both MoveOn and the Center for American Progress, the liberal policy organization founded by John Podesta, the former chief of staff for Bill Clinton; Greenwald, who is not looking to earn any money from the project, provided the rest.

I once saw a chance and very clear photo taken of a man gratuitously kicking a drunk. He had a dead face, just like Rather's. Rather also has dead eyes, like those of Saddam Hussein.

Rush: "Ordinary Americans Brought Down CBS"
FReepers Credited

Rush Limbaugh, FreeRepublic.com and Dan Rather:

Now, I realize that within this new alternative media there exists some jealousy. I sense that some people don't want to give the blogosphere the full credit. They have to parcel it out because everybody wants a piece of the action, this is quite normal, this is human nature. The fact of the matter is it was the blogosphere and it was a couple of sites, power line and Free Republic, and the Free Republic has been one of the most impugned blogs, websites, in the history of websites by the very institution that's been brought down. When Dan Rather talked about partisan political operatives he means those who lurk at Free Republic. Who's Free Republic? It's ordinary Americans. Liberals look down on ordinary Americans, don't have enough decision-making power, do the right thing, not smart enough. You don't know how much it grates on them at CBS that it's something like Free Republic or one of their chat rooms or one of the Freepers there or the Powerline. You have no idea how it irritates them that that kind of person brought them down. The average, ordinary, untrained journalist, you just do not know how this irritates them inside, more than the fact that they got caught, it's who caught 'em that irritates them. And so just as I started out, I was a fad and I was a liar and I made it up and I was bad for America and I posed threats to democracy, as the cover of TIME said, so now the same things are being said did the bloggers. Fox News has had its turn, and we all continue rotating in the criticism carousel of the left. They'll take shots at this program one day or other talk radio hosts, they'll take shots at the blogosphere, then they'll take shots at Fox News, rather than clean up their own act. As long as that continues, their erosion will continue. Because the one thing I've learned is those of us in the so-called alternative new media, ain't going anywhere.

Just a little humor, folks.

On his show, Rush is always saying “Hi! Hire you?”
(“Hi! How are you?” A little Southern humor, haha!) .....
