#1 Dan Rather is one of the most important figures in the history of broadcast journalism, and for more than 40 years was one of our most valued colleagues," CBS said in the statement

The above outtake is the utmost in revisionist history, dan may have occupied a highly placed position at this network, but as a mouthpiece not as a respected person of objective view.

his leftist orientation drove me away from cbs +20 years ago, and ever since, I've loathed the times I've had to be in earshot of his opinions. cBS now gets what it should have known all along that it would get, for creating this celebrity, celebrity to a leftist is a poison, which once internalized can never be cured.

rant on dan, its wholly in character and expected. a thing is what it is.
cBS......is broken, nobody watching, nobody cares, spin it anyway you want, too many former viewers, your just the lipstick on the pig.

#3 I don't know how many times I've flipped past whichever cable channel it is that airs Mr. Rather's investigative reports, before settling on something else to fall asleep to. What are his ratings, I wonder?

#4 Dan Rather is one of the most ~~important~~ disgraceful figures in the history of broadcast journalism

All fixed. This maggoty SOB tried to throw a presidential election with patently false "evidence". No matter how vile, there is little one can say about him that could ever constitute slander.

#5 Where there is a statute bar on initiating proceedings after a time limit, the onus is on the Claimant to prove reasons for late registration of the suit. Judges allow the variance where the Claimant found evidence after the time limit. What possible excuse could Rather give? Was he busy producing his lame HDTV show which is probably watched by about 50,000 people?

I believe he introduced internal CBS ~~Word documents~~ memos written in the 70's and found by an intern named Lucy Ramirez
