Blather wouldn't know good journalism if it sat up and slapped him in the face.
DAN IS A LIAR. In World War II all war reporters were drafted into the army. They were forced to wear military uniforms with out badge of rank and call all officers SIR. They had the rank of a 2nd John. But were were considered to have less seniority than any commissioned 2nd john entited to wear the badge of rank. They reporters had to be saluted by enlisted men, but could not command them.
All NEWS reports had to be cleared by a military censor..Yes that was their title MILITARY Censor. A reporter who filed a story with his paper nor station, with out having it censored first was court marshalled. They would be tried by a military courts marshall. They were also paid by the military. They were in fact drafted members of the us army. In the European theater they has what ever access Eisenhower said they had today. And they had to get Military approval to report anything. In the Pacific theatre MacArthur was their boss. He was their commander.
War correspondents in world war II came under the UNIFORM CODE OF MILITARY JUSTICE. That means they had no constitutional rights to civilian justice. If Eisenhower or MacArthur wanted one of them shot, he would have been shot. That is the freedom they had in WWII.
Yeah, Dan, like the "difficult questions" you always had for the Scumbag administration, or the "difficult questions" you and your liberal ilk were always asking Senator Bride of Scumbag, before the 9/11 attacks. Okay, Dan.
If it means you are limited in what you can lie about Dan, we're all for it.
As the BBC interview was being shown in Britain, the White House was facing questions about its decision not to alert the American public in the weeks before the Sept. 11 attacks that Osama bin Laden wanted to hijack U.S. airplanes.
Rather said that "patriotism run amok" is making it difficult for journalists to provide Americans with all the information they need about the war in Afghanistan and to hold the Bush administration accountable.
The left wing media is frustrated. Rather and his biased media buddies would like to turn the public against the Bush administration but the people can no longer swallow their liberal tripe. Not because of patriotism, or lack of access to information, or censorship. The public overwhelmingly supports Bush. They believe that he is doing exactly what needs to be done to defeat our enemies.
None of the innuendos, claims of corruption, inside deals, or trumped up scandals have stuck to the Bush administration and it is driving the liberal press crazy. Fewer people are listening and they are getting desperate. It's conservatism run amok Dan, get used to it.
"Freerepublic.com is where I get all my news, have you heard of them? Oh its fantastic! You should check it out!"
In front of every newsie as he slumps up to his office in terror of finding a pink slip in his Demoroidally correct in-basket...*EVIL glee begin!
Great Post LL!
Aw come on Dan. If you ask me, we're just barely gettin warmed up here. I want to see youngsters with belt-fed weapons marching in parades shouting out for God and country! Shoutin the 'Pledge, and praying in schools.
Stay over there, Dan, you can wet the bed with the best of 'em. And we don't want your stink around here. You have caused more division and repulsive apathetic doubt than you've reported news in your shallow self aggrandizing, and appeals for notoriety. And Sir, your swill makes hog wash appealing
The only reason his venom is kept in those fangs, is that he fears being drummed out of television for his anti-American retoric at this time in our history. It has recently happened to better men than him, that scab Bill Mahler for instance.

Rather says patriotism infects news
Look at the loaded terms, people! "Patriotism run amok" reminds me of the commie statement, "Freedoms are precious, that's why we must restrict them." The self-proclaimed elite ALWAYS know what's best for us, of course!
This "patriotism" is too independent, too likely to cause people to make their own informed choices, without "spin" to help the unwashed rubes find their undeserving way to the Great Guru Dan...
The entertainment division is terrible.
Other then that everything is ok there. I wouldn't trust Dan Blather to give me any news. If Rather said the sky is blue I'd go outside and check.

What a whiner. Dan Rather and company tried their hardest to knock President Bush's high approval rating down but failed and now he's all but pleading with the people to dump on the President.
