So maybe the rumor I heard that Dan will announce his resignation tomorrow, might be true . . . but if so, why did they send him to Dallas? “WaPo via Drudge: CBS will admit error tomorrow night.”

Why does he believe Burkett? Because Burkett echos the conventional wisdom in Rather's circle that Bush got preferential treatment and blew off his responsibilities. Where did this conventional wisdom originate many years ago? Burkett and Barnes. See, it must be true, Burkett confirms it! Friends, this is insanity. Rather believes Burkett.

Why does he believe Burkett?

Because Burkett echos the conventional wisdom in Rather’s circle that Bush got preferential treatment and blew off his responsibilities.

Burkett and Barnes.

See, it must be true, Burkett confirms it!

Friends, this is insanity.

I thought the report was pretty good on the whole, although I found this description of the journalist's role somewhat offensive: referee, watchdog, interpreter. That role is earned, not conferred by a job title. Knucklehead,

They think we don't notice? These guys are nuts. Advertising pays their bills; where the audience goes, the advertising will follow, then where will they be? These guys remind me of a boor at a party, the more folks avoid them, the worse they become. Nuts, just absolutely nuts. Knucklehead:

The interview makes no sense. Bill Burkett has no credibility whatsoever. This long established TV network is quickly becoming a joke. What does Rather have on CBSí top executives? ìThere may be another explanation, because the two possibilities I see are both suicidal for Rather.î

The subject was the oil for food scandal. They entitle the piece Blood Money. It was a nice review I thought, but not a lot of new information.
