Dan Rather enters the CBS broadcast center for his last scheduled broadcast of the 'CBS Evening News' March 9, 2005 in New York. Tributes to the 73-year-old newsman were mixed with sniping after his final months were marred by a reporting scandal that tarnished his reputation. REUTERS/Chip East

Special Discount to FReepers who believe Rather is gone from CBS.
Expect more stories like this from Rather the Reporter,
not the Anchor.

"Dan Rather led his CBS Evening News broadcast on Monday night with a dubious claim by an Italian communist journalist that "she was deliberately targeted" by U.S. troops in Iraq as she rode in a car to Baghdad airport. While he noted the U.S. denied the charge, Accuracy in Media editor Cliff Kincaid commented that Rather neglected to ask the obvious questions that expose the charge as ridiculous: If she had been targeted by U.S. troops for death, why didn't they finish her off? Why did U.S. troops take her to a U.S. military hospital to get treatment for her injuries?"

"Dan Rather said today that his decision to retire has nothing to do with the controversy over those fake National Guard documents. That's kind of like Yasser Arafat saying his decision to step down had nothing to do with him dying." --Jay Leno

This special just makes me even MORE glad he will be gone!!
To: nutmeg
Wow, he just said that he's not going to tailor his reports depending on how the "wind is blowing," obviously meaning that he doesn't give a damn what the people think.

I think it is safe to say that Rather is a megalomaniac.
To: Howlin
I didn't say that very well: he obviously knows which way the country is going and doesn't care.

"Oh, broher, he's not biased, it's just our biased perception!" That's the oldest trick in the book.
"To bow to the way the wind is blowing.....ain't gonna do, won't, haven't....."
No Dano, you didn't bow to the democrats did you?
