CBS’ Norah O’Donnell: Dan Rather Was One of ‘The Very Best Journalists in American History’

The latest issue of Capitol File magazine has a glowing feature on CBS News Chief White House Correspondent Norah O’Donnell. In it she claims that past journalists that have filled the role of chief White House correspondent for a major network have been “legendary” and “the very best” in the field. Of this “very best” she laughably elevates discredited CBS News anchor Dan Rather into that pantheon.

Capitol File is a magazine that focuses on D.C. elites, the movers and shakers, the bight lights in the City On The Hill. In it’s pages you will see all the beautiful people of Washington D.C. It is, we are told, “a place for power and politics, CAPITOL FILE chronicles and celebrates the most influential players, cultural connoisseurs, fashion sophisticates, and philanthropic leaders in the Washington, DC metropolitan region.”

The mark of a truly great journalist is being better at faking documents than the second-stringers Obama had to rely on

She’s just nostalgic for the salad days [pre-Internet]; pining for the fjords.

She’s a pretty good example of just how low the standards of “journalism” really are.

Its pretty funny - that she is so delusional - that she thinks anyone gives a dog fart what she has to say about anything.

Norah that is subjective, but I can assure that there were a lot better journalists than Dan Rather.

This “Cute” one was hired because she was a woman looks are only window dressing to the fact affirmative action demanded we hire blacks and women.

Its come the time to fire these folks because they are useless!

"Dan Rather Was One of ‘The Very Best Journalists in American History"

This is arguably true meaning they all suck.

Yes he was. Right after Walter Duranty, Jayson Blair, Mike Barnicle, Janet Cook, and David Halevi.
