NewsBusters ^ | 5/08/08 | Matthew Sheffield |

Posted on 05/08/2008 6:54:50 PM PDT by LJayne

The bloodletting from Dan Rather's ongoing lawsuit at CBS continues, although this time, Rather is going after himself saying that no one wants to hire him after his forged document scandal:

Nobody wants to hire you Dan, because “fake, but accurate” isn’t a very sound journalistic standard.

Dan,

You threaten large scale revelation the media are the marketing arm of the DNC.

It’s not that they don’t like you, its that they like their power derived via fraud more.

No need to thank me.

Dan, your 85 years old, nobody likes you, and you’ve no one to blame but yourself for your worthless legacy. Go walk on a beach with a metal detector where you belong.

I have nothing significant to add to this thread.

I'm only posting to this Rather thread to do the super-script thing.

Dan doesn't understand that he committed the one unforgivable transgression abhorred by every professional journalist in the business.

He got caught.

THEY'RE COMING TO TAKE DAN AWAY
Tune: "They're Coming to Take Me Away, Ha-haaa!"

Remember when I broke the news
How Bush got in the Guard
And didn't have to leave
To go to Vietnam?
Well . . .

I pushed that story hard
Just weeks before Election Day
And so of course you know
The thoughts I had in my mind
Like . . .

They're going to give me a prize, Ha-ha!
They're going to give me a prize, Ho-ho, Hee-hee, Ha-ha!
For a journalist
Who helps the Democrats all the time
And I'll be happy to put
That nice award
In my trophy case
And they're going to give me a prize, Ha-haaa!

You thought it was a fake
And so you cringed
You cringed when people said
That superscript was not done at that time
Right . . .

The people laughed, I heard them laugh
They laughed, they laughed and laughed
You made me leave
But now you know I'm Rather upset!
So . . .

I'm going to take you to court, Ha-ha!
I'm going to take you to court, Ho-ho, Hee-hee, Ha-ha!
For a tidy sum
Like six--no, seventy million bucks
And put me back on the Evening News
And make all the viewers watch
And I'm going to take you to court, Ha-haaa!

I read your news
I gave my views
And this is how you pay me back
For all my years of bold unbiased news?!
Hah . . .

Well, you just wait
I'll find the proof
And when I do
They'll know that Dan is not some sort of old unbalanced nut!
'Cause . . .

They're coming to take me away, Ha-ha!
They're coming to take me away, Ho-ho, Hee-hee, Ha-ha!
To the Kinko's store
Where fake but accurate faxes fly
And I'll be happy to see
Those daring scoops
Come across my desk
And they're coming to take me away, Ha-haaa!

To the anchor desk
With lights and cameras and breaking news
And four producers who sit and smile
And tell me that I'm the best
And they're coming to take me away, Ha-haaa!

To the Kinko's store
Where fake but accurate faxes fly
And I'll be happy to see
Those daring scoops
Come across my desk
And they're coming to take me away, Ha-haaa!

Rather’s papers say he could have defended the Bush story...

Ohhh, suuuuure.

Dan gets caught red-handed trying to influence a national election (for his Democrat buddies) by peddling forged documents on a "news" program.

Now, he tries to scribble a smiley face on his fetid reputation by...more LYING and DECEIT!

He will always and forever be Dan the Forger. And, there's no amount of lying (or even truth-telling) that can change that.

saying that no one wants to hire him after his forged document scandal:

That is not exactly, Mark Cuban who is a genius(at least in his own mind) for judging talent gave Gunga Dan a job. Of course, one could argue that Cuban does not know anymore about judging broadcast talent than he does assessing basketball talent. Cuban did after all let Steve Nash walk in free agency only to earn two MVP's. Over rate the declining talent of Jason Kidd by giving away the store to get him and only to end up having to overpay him for a year and a half.

He got caught.

Also what Kenneth Dan still doesn't understand, (although CBS is figuring it out, finally), is that the ONE and ONLY asset that a news organization has is its 'credibility' .... once credibility is lost, then the news organization has NO asset anymore.

A newsperson has one thing going for them, credibility. If a newsperson loses that credibility they have nothing. Mr. Rather invents stories, Mr. Rather has NO credibility.

"another job"

That's correct. Rather now has a program on one of my hd tv channels doing his usual miserable job. "Dan Rather Reports" or something like that. I buy an hd tv set with a limited number of channels, and what do I get? One of the channels features "documentaries" by one of the biggest liars in tv history.
