Go to 24 minutes in and listen to Dan Rather talk about fact checking before going with a story. He goes on for nearly four minutes discussing this subject. It's hilarious!

At 34 minutes, reach for the barf bag and listen to them all apologize for not giving equal time to conservatives during the 1960s.

The "Old Media" had a meeting. Why? To come up with another Blathergate memo? Boy, I can't wait. (Sarcasm.)

I saw part of this on C-SPAM.

A more pompous set of individuals would be hard to find.

They were all bemoaning about how they should have asked more questions before we went to war in Iraq.

/gag.

Next time, Rather will teach a section called "The Devil in the Details-Choosing the Right Font".

The headline should have been "Old Media meets to discuss how to regain their monopoly".

Memo to Old Media: Forget it. You're too old. Tired. Irrelvant. Biased. Boring.

So busy patting themselves on the back- they don't even see the punches coming

How many of these characters do you suppose will vote for Bush? What a perfect place for them to meet: the JKF school at Harvard.

This picture is a classic example of a circle jerk. No wonder they are all smiling.

Jennings' ...Tom Brokaw... Jim Lehrer....Dan Rather...and CNN's Judy Woodruff ...presented a range of views from across the dial.

From condescending liberalism to elitist socialist.

Yep, they presented a vast range, all right.

Lehrer: "Whatsa matter, Dan? Everyone's a foot away from you! Eat beans last night? Or is that the smell of your credibility rotting away?"

I imagine each one (above) thinks so good of themselves, that those s**t-eating grins are on their faces all night as they sleep and they're the first thing they see in the morning in the bathroom mirror.

IF this group was to convene today, I don't think Blather would look so condescending. He'd have some crow feathers sticking out of his mouth, out of his ears and out of his nose.

Dan Rather: "Hoisted on his own petard!"

How positively Shakespearian!

I love it. I am now changing from tag line from "Dan Rather's evening newscast finished dead last Tuesday night, finished behind a Simpson's rerun!"

If one were dealt these five bozos in a poker game, one would have to insist on drawing five new cards.

I was watching MSNBC today and Blather actually apologised because he got caught. He damn near choked to death. What a jerk for being such a piece of S### in the first place.

Personally, I would have preferred hearing him say,"I RESIGN!"
