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?"
"Do you feel like you were duped -- working for Fox like you do?"
"No, I don't. Please answer the question, Mr. Rather."
He IS the duper!!!
I think what animated Rather more than his ideology, is the competitive aspect of it all. He wants to beat the competition even if it requires cutting corners. Pity the guy was so poorly educated and has an IQ of maybe around 115, neither of which are sufficient to beat the competition with real substance. Dan is less into substance than folksy little phrases, most of which are inappropriate and grate on this poster's ears.
And there you have it.
time to get some FR t-shirts, hint hint.....
Oh brother. Stupid is as Rather does.
Sort of like: Do you know who I work for? Do you know who I am?
Oh Danny boy, the pipes, the pipes are calling...
Dan's got no worries. There is no story here, other than the fact that the President refuses to answer questions about his guard duty and how he shirked his responsibilities, and how the facist right-wing conservative nazis are alleging that the documents are fake. At least that's the way he'll play it until something else takes over the headlines. Always remember with these guys the facts just get in the way of the story.
I saw this incident on Fox and Rather's comment about Fox didn't make any sense to me either. The only thought that comes to mind is that Rather must hate Fox's enormous success as much as he hates President Bush.
Dan Rather has basically disproven his own theory.
LOL
By selling a LOT of Viacom stock last week, apparently Sunmner Redstone thinks Rather was duped. Or worse.
Rather was looking good until he said that.
soon all will be swamped in details. be careful not to get bogged down. the chant needs to be uncomplicated. rather is a liar and rather is bias.
I agree with Rather on this one. I feel duped by Bill O'Reilly not calling a forger a forger.
Bill says he just knows Rather didn't do this on purpose and anybody who thinks he may have, has to be a right wing nut!!
Even though the facts show Rather did put forged documents on the air knowing they were forgeries. Rather was warned.
Yes, fox duped us on this one Dan!!!
When Rather told O'Reilly that he thought a man could lie about alot of things and still be honest, I think it obvious he was commenting on himself as much as BJ. Dan must have spent a great many nights over the years rationalizing his behaviour.
The Pajama People will get him no matter where he goes.
Heh heh heh.
Poor Danny is getting just what he deserves....
