Dan Rather's departure from the CBS Evening News has some fretting that last September's "60 Minutes" forgery fiasco is being blown out of proportion, that this week's media coverage should paint Mr. Rather as a fearless journalistic truth-teller, not as a sloppy partisan operative. Former New York Times reporter Alex Jones, now a Harvard media expert, told USA Today it would be a "gross disservice" to emphasize Mr. Rather's bogus National Guard story.

Congratulations, little brother!
I thought this was going to be an opus.
I guess in a way it is.
You know, if that had been the only bogus report in his entire career, it would still have been sufficiently bad to constitute his epitaph.
But the truth is, all through his career he doctored news stories. He can hardly be remembered as a truth teller.
S'long to a bad man whose repeated lies finally caught up with him.
Have you noticed how O'Reilly is loyal to Dan to the end? He sure lets his personal relationships get in the way of "journalism"...like the way he covered Kerry, his "friend".

He's gone like a greased pig in the Texas sunset...like the fleeting memory of a bad dream...like a ton of bricks over Niagra Falls.
He takes Rather's actions in some specific investigative reports to task and really reveals his tactics.
The problem for us is that we don't know what ELSE he
doctored over his career.
Like a frog carrying handguns in his side pockets....

Creepy that such "HEAD IN THE SAND" types have influence with high school and college students...........
Clinton only made one little mistake....Dan only made one little mistake....Alex Jones only knows one little chant.....
