A San Francisco Chronicle Herb Caen Lecture featuring Dan Rather, who was anchor and managing editor for the CBS Evening News for 24 years, and now serves as a correspondent for 60 Minutes and hosts and produces long form programming examining major global topics and events for the Discovery Channel, will be in conversation with Orville Schelll, Dean of the Graduate School of Journalism.

Often referred to as "the hardest working man in broadcast journalism," ...

Not only is the media failing but Dan gets a F too.

Looks like ol' Dan's getting his Botox injections at Jiffy Lube.

Rather metrosexual, don't you think?

Where's Lucy Ramirez when you need her?

The "lamestream" media has failed America for many, many years, and that Rather was as successful as he was reflects that failure.

Rather metrosexual, don't you think?

Try to smile when you say that!

Is this a trick question? Of COURSE the media is failing - they just can't fool all of the people all of the time. P.T. Barnum knew that.

It's not easy work -- selflessly promoting oneself 24/7 as God's gift to mankind -- the Oracle of the Universe.

I wish journalists would find some other role model. Like OJ, maybe.

Is the Media Failing in America?

Gn 22:17 your descendants shall take possession of the gates of their enemies

Newspaper sale$ decline should be blamed on the Journos

. . .

People who work at journalism full time ought to be able to do a better job of it than people for whom it is a hobby. But that's not going to happen as long as we "professional" journalists ignore stories we don't like and try to hide our mistakes. We think of ourselves as "gatekeepers." But there is not much future in being a gatekeeper when the walls are down.
