Dan Rather, as we all know, has been on a different frequency for years.

[...] Note that her screed comes from HuffPo. Does this mean Arianna is our Fred MacMurray? Or is that role reserved for Document Dan? [...]

A Rather Dim View on Atrocity Reporting…

Former CBS Evening News anchor Dan Rather apparently advocates the killing of newsmen who report on suspected war crimes. In “Lone Star,” an unauthorized bio of Rather out this September, Alan Weisman writes that [Morley] Safer “has not been a……

Dan Rather is an ass.

Blessed with the opportunities to be a great journalist, bestowed with the power and responsibility, Dan Rather chose the path of self destruction when he thought he can fool the world with anything. For a brief moment in history he thought whatever lies he utters will become truth.

Reality told him that he is just a mortal like all of us. Infinitely small are we. But he learnt it through his own karma.

I hope those manipulators that are behind both parties learn the truth now and stop their manipulations. The power of influence is given to them to serve, not to manipulate the public for personal gain. With the rapid growth in internet and blogging, the news media will soon lose its choke hold on the information to the public.

This is indeed the new age, but not the kind of new age the flower children thought of. This is the new age that we have become knowledgeable. We shall never be made blind by the powerful few.

May be the “All Seeing Eye” on the one dollar bill actually signifies the coming of this new age of information.

At least Safer’s story turned out to be true.

To paraphrase Chevy Chase on the original SNL: “Hi, I’m Dan Rather, and you’re not.”

Dan Rathers’ “flawed” reporting of the President’s Air National Guard service????? Oh, my.
In an aside, the Depends generation that watches the CBS Evening News will need to double up come September.

Full Metal Rather…

Back in 2004, we quoted veteran CBS producer Don Hewitt on Dan Rather. Immediately after the Kennedy assassination, Hewitt suggested that Rather, who had just come onboard with the network, punch out Abraham Zapruder and steal his now iconic home……

My favorite Rather moment…from Fox-O’Reilly:
. talking about Bill Clinton in 2001-
O’Reilly: “How can you say he’s an honest guy then?”
Rather: “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.”
(OBVIOUSLY , YOU STUPID SCHMUCK -mine)
— above Exchange on Fox News Channel’s The O’Reilly Factor, May 15, 2001.

Dan was jealous because Morley Safer got to interview Col. Kurtz first.
