Some funny comments here-Ratherporn brings out the best in your comic sensibilities. This is actually a move that makes sense for Dan-all of his CBS “News” efforts to take down a sitting President was like soft porn for the Democrats.

Maybe the network can call Dan Rather’s show “Journalists Gone Wild” and have a nightly “Fake But Accurate” segment. Heck, we’ve only begun to explore how Bush rigged the World Trade Center to explode, flew a robot plane into the Pentagon, and recruited Bin Laden as a CIA agent. If we let Dan go he can probably tell us how Bush was behind those crop circles and was spotted on the Grassy Knoll.

In contrast to Dan, Tom Brokow retired earlier than he had to and is kind of a media elderly figure with respect.

Today he spoke eloquently at the Ford funeral services, at the Washington cathedral, and President Clinton cried.

It was at the point of what great human traits Mr. Ford had. Mabybe Mr. Clinton cried for himself…

I don’t see how anyone can look at this guy and not laugh..just a little. He has shown us his lack of standards…and if it means some air time, he’ll go on whatever, whenever, however he can.

I thought for sure once it came to light on how his reporting sucked eggs, he’d be just a little humbled. But nope! Arrogant idgit.

The idea of “channels” as we know them is becoming obsolete with the invention of DVR/PPV/On Demand/online viewing. Even as just a joke on rather this story has no legs

How low??? This is a big step up for Dan. Haven’t you ever watched network television?

Soft-core porn, huh? Isn’t that just another way to say that the pornography is “fake, but accurate.” How apropos.

(Sorry — but somebody just HAD to say it.)

I wonder if the model boxers feel that their show airing on the same channel as “Dan Rather Reports” hurts their credibility.

I get HDNet and I have NEVER seen anything like that on there, and believe me, my boyfriend would have found it by now if it was there.

Say what you will about Dan Rather and Mark Cuban, but you gotta admit from a programming standpoint hot bikini babes duking it out in 1080i HD is a genius lead-in for a lame news show.

The obvious joke here: They don’t call it “hard news” for nothing.

Babes & Blather. Cuban provides fair and balanced programming.

Perfect 10 Model Boxing.

I thought Dan had crumbled up and blown away. And now lives as a dust bunny under his bed.

Is there any such thing as soft porn, I mean it porn, right?

The good stuff is when you’re disgusted, but keep watching.

Can the View be considered soft porn also?

However, he adds, it wouldn’t be “appropriate viewing” in the Rather household.

Dan Rather is not apprpriate viewing in my household. The jury is out on babes boxing. I might actually watch. Depends on what kind of purse they’re fighting over.

That boxing show sounds awesome, and as far as we know never promoted fake documents to affect the outcome of a presidential election. So it’s got more credibility than Dan Rather does.
