Dan Rather enters the CBS broadcast center for his last scheduled broadcast of the 'CBS Evening News' March 9, 2005 in New York. Tributes to the 73-year-old newsman were mixed with sniping after his final months were marred by a reporting scandal that tarnished his reputation. REUTERS/Chip East

So tell me is he or is he not?
Please answer the question without cheap shots, ok?
I have no idea whether he is finished or not.... and there's another story behind that one.
I don't care. I don't watch him, haven't watched him in several years and didn't watch his farewell swan song.... did you or are you going to?
What's a cheap shot about big fonts and yelling over and over?.... Isn't that what you are doing... Just trying to get the truth out as you so righteously pointed out up the thread. Don't you think Freepers can read? Or must they be led to water with big fonts?

I'm afraid so; but, of course, we know that his passion was the Bushes.

Is it just him talking to the camera? Wouldn't anybody interview him? LOL.
I'm laughing now.

But look, he's talking to NOBODY.....it's just him.
I guess somebody said, "Yeah, give him an hour in prime time. (Sean Connery voice) One hour only."

Apparently this "reporter" has found no reporter that is interested in interviewing him.
I'm sorry to say that the way this video-biography is done, really reminds me of an obituary.
To: Howlin
One can hope. I think CBS built it up tho.
Are there still people who are loyal to CBS News anyway?

Don't you think Freepers can read? Or must they be led to water with big fonts? I don't mean to get in the middle of your exchange with Tonk, but I have noticed that being in the hurry that most of us are, sometimes we miss important stuff that is typed in normal fonts, right there on our screens. At least I do. I recall it took quite an effort to disabuse many FReepers of the notion that an IBM Selectric (not Selectric Composer) is capable of making proportional font spacing.

Whoah! Good call, cuz it looks like nobody at Complete BS News wanted to have their name associated with a swan song of the Rather train wreck.

And have you noticed that no other channels has had him on like they did Brokaw?

You started the thread.
Rather is not done.
Expect more attacks on the Military from him.

Yes but do you need it posted over and over to read it and notice it?..... What if every person on the board did that.... What a mess it would look like.

I think I made myself perfectly clear on what Rather's options are; if you want to continue to post and declare false information, that's up to you.

Dubya and Karl Rove should make a Presidential call to congratulate Dan on a fine career.
To: 68-69TonkinGulfYachtClub
I doubt you want to get into a big font post counting contest..... You'd have the largest number going away....
Now you have a nice time for a while. I'm going out for coffee and desert with my wife.....
