Thread Name: BS: Dan Rather Takes Bullet....
Subject: RE: BS: Dan Rather Takes Bullet....
Sorry Bobert, but I'm glad he's gone. He took my once favorite network from 1st to last in the news ratings. Towards the end I had to keep adjusting the horizontal on my set. Some stories were so obviously slanted they damn near slid off the screen.

In later years I found I couldn't trust him anymore than I trust FoxNews, and for the same reason. Both value the success of their respective agendas more than they value giving viewers the true story. There was a time when I and many others automatically took as gospel anything the CBS anchor told me. That anchor however, has been retired for 24 years now, and regrettably Dan has squandered the trust, esteem and respect Walter Cronkite and his predecessors built into the CBS nightly news desk.
