Cavuto is doing a good job with the interview. Rather seems to be more upset about the ‘Corporate culture’ at SeeBS than the fact that he was duped himself over the TANG story.
Part 2 coming up?
He wasn’t duped. He was part of the project.
“Rather seems to be more upset about the ‘Corporate culture’ at SeeBS than the fact that he was duped himself over the TANG story.”
Which is funny, considering how consistently Big News and Big Entertainment disparaged Bush. Whether or not corporations are good for journalism or democracy or whatever, in this particular case, they were on Rather’s side. Or rather, they let Rather’s side carry the day.
I’m not silly enough to argue that corporations aren’t shills for Big Government, or that their petty disagreements with Bush amounted to proof that they “speak truth to power”—real power, that is, not the transitory power held by this or that party—any more than Nazi attacks on communists is proof that Nazis aren’t socialists. All I’m saying is that Big News was on Rather’s side, before and after they canned him. It has been at least since Nixon.
