#1 Actually the New Journalism Order he should respond to is a blogosphere that is agile, internally correcting and most importantly doesn't let Big Media types like Rather get away with making shit up and broadcasting it on the airwaves.

It doesn't go unchallenged anymore. The monopoly is kaput.

#2 Jeez Dan, I really feel bad that you were caught out in partisan lying (or should I say the old order). Buh-bye

#3 ""I did the best newscast we were capable of doing," Rather said."
And so retirement was a bit overdue.

#4 ~~'new journalism order'~~
The old pompous asshats are dead or dying.

Word
Victory is at hand. Never before has the enemy suffered such loses. Some of their best agit-prop organs [network anchors/ NY slimes/etc.] are dead or dying. Keep pressing the attack, no mercy for these bastards.

#5 Jeez, Dan, you mean like like having people around that actually try to nail your ass to the wall when you print bullshit and pass it off as the truth instead of not being blinded by the light and giving you a pass like in the Golden Age of the MSM?
Would've helped if you people didn't make it so friggin easy...

#6 Somebody has to take the mortally wounded old partisan warrior off his high horse and remove his badly perforated armor (never adapted to the new weapons did he). Cradle his crushed little skull in loving arms and then mercifully slit his journalistic throat to end the suffering. Pathetic self-agrandizing big man of "journalism" doth cry too much and too often methinks. Kenneth, what's the frequency now?

#7 Rather is such a frikkin' drama queen. Dan: STFU and STFD!

#8 To borrow a line from General Honore....Dan Rather is stuck on stupid.
