Thats what Jim Rendon asks in his piece about Dan Rather and his work on HDNet. Owner Mark Cuban has made little effort to extend Rathers reach, he writes. New York Times media reporter Brian Stelter hasnt written about Rathers show since it first launched because HDNet has never flagged one of his big stories for me effectively.
See here the article in Mother Jones magazine.

Dan Rather: Inside Mark Cuban's Gilded Cage
At 79, the former CBS anchorman is still kicking ass and winning Emmys. But with his exposés sandwiched between pro wrestling and Girls Gone Wild, is anybody watching?
The MSM is incapable of great reporting—Moot point.
The term "great reporting" should never be used to refer to "Dan
Rather," the failed news reader, in any manner whatsoever!

Bush’s fault.....no really!
Same for music that isn’t heard or art that isn’t seen or machines that aren’t used.
What’s the frequency, Kenneth?
If I say that Dan was and is a member of the vast liberal progressive media culture and wouldn’t know or accept a conservative thought to save his own life ... would that statement be “false but accurate?”
No sarcasm was used in the above message.
Typo.
Learning to Love the (Shallow, Divisive, Unreliable) New Media
Everyone from President Obama to Ted Koppel is bemoaning a decline in journalistic substance, seriousness, and sense of proportion. But the author, a longtime advocate of these values, takes a journey through the digital-media world and concludes there isnt any point in defending the old ways. Consumer-obsessed, sensationalist, and passionate about their work, digital upstarts are undermining the old mediaand they may also be pointing the way to a brighter future.
