Rather Ambushed at Dallas Airport; Anchor Bashes Fox September 18, 2004 15:34:06 EDT Fox News has reported that Dan Rather received the "60 Minutes treatment" when he was confronted by a local Dallas TV reporter.
Rather has flown to Dallas apparently to help his CBS people in Dallas get their stories straight and bolster their defense. More and more media organizations are picking apart Rather's claims, as more is uncovered about the Texas Democrats who seem to have originated the story.
The reporter, from the local Fox affiliate, asked Rather if he felt he was duped. Rather shot back, "Do you feel like you were duped -- working for Fox like you do?"
Put some ice on it, Danny boy!
Man, would I love to see that! LOL! Toooooo funny!
Oh, you lucky duck!!!!!!
I realize that the PC position is that Dan was duped, and that Bill O'Blowhard thinks anyone thinking otherwise is a blind ideologue, but judging purely by Dan's behavior I suspect that Dan is more guilty of duping than of being duped. There's more than just a whiff of corruption in the air.
And vs. Richard Nixon: "No, Mr. President, [I'm not running for something,] are you?"
Dan has really gotta work on those comebacks.
Do your bunny slippers have big flip floppy ears like the bunny picture of Kerry visting NASA?
Question for Rather:
"How much Kinkos stock do you own?"
Speaking of media people becoming the story, what do you think of Brian Mulroney (sp?) getting fired from KIRO radio for saying he believed Rather should retire or be forced out for what he did?
I've been having all kinds of fun taping the denouement of See-BS and the Swift Vet thing. Ask my wife, I have lots of VHS tapes decorating the coffeetable right now. ;-).
Awwwwww.......Dan's a little testy!
Maybe he knows he's turning into a tabloid journalist. Even Kitty Kelley has more credibility.
Oh, come on, now. You know he is.
I think it shows KIRo (CBS affiliat) to be the joke I've always thought them to be. He should be welcomed with open arms back to KVI...
The Old MSM has some huge cracks in it. These are fatal cracks without some serious preventative repair. Dan is instead pushing maul wedges into the cracks.
Heheheheheheheh.
ambush reporting as started by Dan Rather when he was with 60 Minutes ... har har har
That would be, "How much FedEx stock do you own?"
"I love it! This can't happen often enough. 60 Minutes has be so 'in-your-face' with people for years. Now you wonder if we have to go back and pick apart everything they have ever reported - if the past week is any indication, there is probably a large percentage of fiction in that tome of so-called 'journalism'."
YEP !!!! I agree !! That would really put Danny & seeBS in a "spot". If the word got out that "other seeBS stories" were starting to get a little more of a "look-see", that might make danny-boy (and maybe Viacom) start re-thinking their "Bush Docs" stand.
The headline may as well read:
Rather Angered that Monopoly on "News" has Evaporated!
