Kenneth Tomlinson, a Republican who chairs. Corporation for Public Broadcasting (CPB) in the U.S. that controls both the Public Broadcasting System (PBS) and National Public Radio (NPR) caused quite a stir when he hired a consultant to monitor the television network for balance. Tomlinson, not unlike many others, feels that the public broadcaster has tilted too far to the left. The New York Times reported that the consultant is monitoring Now with Bill Moyers (that is now without Bill Moyers) and counting how many of the show’s guests are anti-Bush, anti-business and anti-Tom Delay. Any action to provide better balance...

Emptying out his cubbyhole office in the CBS News building on West 57th Street in New York, wading through stacks and boxes of memorabilia accumulated over the years, Dan Rather came upon a piece of framed embroidery made and sent to him a couple decades ago by a nun who was, one might say, among the faithful -- a regular and loyal viewer.

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

The new year dawns dank and melancholy, at least for me. Shuffling off the nation's center stage are my favorite sanctimonious hinds, Dan Rather and Bill Moyers. Both have been burning incense before their own graven mugs for years. Soon both will exalt themselves in solitude. Mr. Moyers was a gifted understudy of his old boss, Lyndon Johnson, and though he affected piety wherever he went, there was always a whiff of the thug about his person. How well I recall the revelations of the journalist Andrew Ferguson, demonstrating that while an independent contractor of PBS the Rev. Moyers made...

Dan Rather will be anchoring from Indonesia and the Navy released a photo of him on the deck of the USS Abraham Lincoln in his flight suit. I find this hillarious after the way the left pilloried Bush for "wearing a costume" for his landing on the....ta da!....USS Abraham Lincoln! LOL! The Lefties...the gift that keeps on giving.

<p>Announced on ABC Radio News, Dan Rather leaving CBS News. No details.</p> <p>" NEW YORK (AP) -- Dan Rather has announced he will step down as "CBS Evening News" anchor next March."</p>

"We don't know what to do. We don't know whether to wind a watch or bark at the moon." "Could be game set and match Republicans." "They're about first and goal from 4 yards out." "He swept through the South like a tornado through a trailer park."

The end of an eraThe criticism,” growled NBC's Tom Brokaw, went “beyond any factual information.” Indeed, it was nothing less than “a political jihad.” ABC's Peter Jennings, equally outraged, chimed in: “I don't think you ever judge a man by only one event in his career.”They were speaking, of course, about l'Affaire Dan Rather, rising in defense of their fellow elite anchor. Trouble is, Jennings was right. We shouldn't judge a man by a single event; we should judge him by all his biases and errata. These, Rather has in overplus.(Researchers may visit Ratherbiased.com, where they'll find them carefully compiled...

AS British civil engineer Kenneth Bigley sat blindfolded and begging for his life at a terrorist compound somewhere in Iraq on Monday, his Prime Minister, Tony Blair, was celebrating the launch of a high-speed tilting train service in central London. Standing on a platform at Euston station, smiling for the cameras beside Virgin boss Richard Branson, Mr Blair showed no outward sign of the dilemma that surely simmered inside him. Faced with perhaps the most difficult moral decision imaginable for a politician, Mr Blair is aware he is the only man on Earth who can save Mr Bigley's life. Painfully,...

What is the frequency kenneth? On the evening of October 4th, 1986, Dan Rather was attacked by William Tager who, contrary to popular belief, had a very good reason for attacking Rather. Bill Tager was born in the year 2265. Bill Tager is from the future. Bill Tager is not from our planet. Well, technically he is from earth but not from our earth. Tager comes from an earth in a parallel universe and was sent here by the government of his planet. On Tagers earth, the entire planet is under the control of one government. Tagers world wide government...

Just on the Fox News Channel............. A Heinz-Kerry, Kenneth Lay, Enron connection. It seems that Kenneth Lay was not only a guest of John and Teraaazzzaaa at their Georgetown Mansion, BUT.....he was on the board of directors of the Heinz Foundation. In turn, Terrraaaazzza had over $250,000 in Enron stock. I wonder if we should tell Michael Moore ??? :-) Stay tuned. This could be interesting..........

Kenneth Cole's overt politics set him apart By Robin Givhan The Washington Post August 28, 2003 NEW YORK -- Fashion industry entrepreneur Kenneth Cole has, for 20 years, used snappy one-liners to promote a social agenda, burnish his corporate image and sell his shoes. As early as April 1987, in the service of moving his midpriced footwear, Cole's advertisements boldly advocated AIDS education. "Our shoes aren't the only thing we encourage you to wear," read the tag line on an ad showing a single condom. To underscore the numbers of Americans who live on the streets, Cole's advertisements have depicted...

<p>NEW YORK -- Steve Winfield is a listed member of the Screen Actors Guild and, according to the owner of the "Fabulous Voices" Web site on which he once appeared, a translator with a particular flair for foreign accents.</p> <p>Last week, for 17 million TV viewers, he was also the voice of Saddam Hussein during Dan Rather's exclusive CBS News interview of the Iraqi leader. Apparently putting on an Arabic accent, Winfield -- who spoke with a seemingly everyday North American accent when he talked briefly to a reporter this week -- read Hussein's answers to Rather's questions.</p>

<p>NEW YORK (AP) -- CBS News anchor Dan Rather says he hopes that embedding journalists among U.S. troops if there's a war with Iraq will help coverage, but he has doubts.</p> <p>Rather is cautious because of experiences during the Gulf War, when much of the material gathered by journalists traveling with the military was not allowed to be printed or aired until long after the war was over.</p>
