As i said in the post, that SOURCES from a CBS affiliate are telling me that Dan Rather was forced out.
Now, im hearing that 60 minutes Wednesday Night may be cancelled and that CBS is trying to figure a way to exit Dan Rather all together.

From what it looks like, people on here are trying to say I dont know what Im talking about..Go check out NewsMax--they are reporting the same thing now...

I dont have a Blog, I have a news site. Everything on my site is true to my knowledge.
My site was the first to announce that Dan Rather was leaving. I posted it two days before he announced. Everyone on FreeRepublic accused me then of trying to get a few free hits, and then the day he announced...no apologies whatsoever...

And unnamed sources tell me that Michael Moore is actual George H.W. Bush's love child.

Saying something is so does not make it so. We don't know you from Adam. Where is your proof? What affiliate is saying this? Relying on unnamed sources is a favorite tactic of the MSM - but we demand more here.

NewsMax does not exactly have the highest reliability rating.

As opposed to being backed up by multiple sources?

And Debka states the obvious as news from time to time as proof of their more outlandish claims. You want cred here? Start naming sources.

I actually dont care what you think of me dirtboy. I came here stating the facts.
Anyone with a dog's intelligence is smart enough to know Dan Rather announced his retirement at that time because he knew he was about to be forced out. If this hadnt happened we all know Dan would still be going...Come on now...

Maybe im NOT at liberty to say exactly who told me this since it is a CBS affiliate.

I just looked over some of your posts. Maybe you need to criticize yourself some. You post articles without backing it up with "multiple" sources.
All my items on my site are backed up, unless i get a scoop from a news source. Seems you dont have a problem with Matt Drudge posting his scoops without naming an exact source do you?
As far as being laid off? No, never been laid off. I go to school fulltime and work fulltime buddy.

Back up what you claim are the facts. CBS said the TANG memos were factual. Saying something is so doesn't make it so. And your refusal to back up your claims with anything other than a demand that we believe you puts you in the same league as Dan Rather - unlike the libs, your saying what we want to believe does not make you believable without supporting evidence.

I post articles from media sources. And then typically rip them apart. Nice try. Quite frankly, your weasel words here just undermine your position.

All my items on my site are backed up, unless i get a scoop from a news source.

So, in other words, you can't back up this claim.

Seems you dont have a problem with Matt Drudge posting his scoops without naming an exact source do you?

Yes, I do. Nice try again. You want cred here? Back up your claims.

A rather ironic defense, considering you link to Drudge on your website.

Ah, I beg your pardon but I believe I heard that Rather was retiring after this political cycle from Rush in, Oh, say June or July. When Rather announced, noone was surprised.
