Just why are people so upset with Rather, Oh Wise Writer? Because he doesn't know his frequencies, Kenneth? And, bottom line, what exactly DOES not having watched tv for years have to do with anything? Rather also does radio shows and other formats and his remarks are widely transcribed so as to be, well, laughed at. And maybe guys like this WOULD watch tv if it weren't a liberal wasteland caused by biased hacks like Rather.
The author just relays Rather's little self-promotions ("I'm just taking the heat" - yeah, right, Mr. Overpaid Saddam/Castro Lover) as part of his little hero-worshipping schtick. Some reporter!
Nice you Freeper folks got mentioned, but otherwise this tripe could have been written by the CBS PR department.
Probably has never even considered the propostion. If you asked Block to react to and discuss last week's WSJ article that cataloged research on broadcast bias, I'll bet he probably would have no idea what you're talking about.
