Rather Done

on: Nov/23/04 and its been viewed 1,316 times

It seems that Dan Rather will retire - partially.

Dan Rather announced today he will step down as anchor and managing editor of the “CBS Evening News” on March 9 — 24 years to the day after his first broadcast as the network’s anchor.

Would he be leaving were it not for the National Guard Memo story?

I question the timing of this. It seems the thing to say. ;)

    He’ll now be with 60 Minutes. With their track record, Rather will blather for another 30 years. My question is “Whare is Mary Mapes now?”

    This whole thing stinks.

    I think it’s perfect timing, considering the boycott CBS initiative, and the petition to CBS to get Rather off the air.

    The word is that the investigation into the forged documents is about to be released and he stepped down rather than being humiliated anymore!

    I think he’s just obsessive about dates. That’s why he waited 24 years … to the day.

    I think it is all very convenient - - yet they aren’t even getting rid of him really as we’ll be stuck with his made up stories for the next zillion decades - - he is so much like Walter Cronkite it’s frightening

    I wondered the same thing when I heard the news on the radio today.
