In the mid-80′s I was a Democrat. For years I had thought the news was a little biased, but so what. There were so many obvious untruths published about Ronald Reagan. There were stories that were repeated even after I had seen them debunked. There was much sneering at Reagan by journalists. Finally I saw a televised White House press conference where it seemed to me the President was openly mocked by the reporters in attendance. That opened my eyes and I started looking at all news reports in a new way. Once I looked I saw bias everywhere. It’s not very hard to spot, is it?

That’s why I want Rather to stay at CBS. He is so blatantly biased that he will open new eyes every broadcast. I bet the CBS Evening News tonight opened thousands of eyes just by the difference in the ‘th’ between the two documents shown. Some defense, eh?
