Dan 'Kenneth' Rather, Unemployable Luser
2008-05-08
Dan Rather says CBS's skulduggery has cost him jobs everywhere from CNN to A&E.

In papers filed in Manhattan Supreme Court, the former CBS Evening News anchor says his reliance on the network's false promises that it would defend him after making him a scapegoat for a controversial news report cost him several high-profile jobs - and some lower-profile ones as well.

While he was once a hot property coveted by CNN to be its "face," the fallout from his report on President Bush's Air National Guard service resulted in him being turned away from even part-time jobs at CNN, ABC, NBC, Fox, HBO, the History Channel, A&E, Discovery and National Geographic channels, the filing says.

#6  Ahh, but the strawberries that's... that's where I had them. They laughed at me and made jokes but I proved beyond the shadow of a doubt and with... geometric logic... that a duplicate key to the wardroom icebox DID exist, and I'd have produced that key if they hadn't of pulled the Caine me out of action. I, I, I know now they were only trying to protect some fellow officers CBS vice-presidents...

#3  Isn't that like the definition of 'Yellow Journalism'?

Sounds like Weekly World News won't hire him either - now that is damaged goods!

#1  Wow. Everything that went down, and Dan Rather is still the principal victim in the case. Tee hee, in one way he's actually right, in that he didn't do much except sign his name to it. However, reporting something that you didn't bother to verify because you hope it's true is horrible journalism, all too common these days.
