NIELSEN numbers this week show Rather fading and trailing his rivals in every Top 10 city, other than San Francisco, with audience margins in some cities of more than 6 to 1 against CBS... MORE... Drudge update

Drudge......White House McClellan on Rather: “It’s always best for journalists to stick to reporting the facts and not try to dispense campaign advice'...

Fixed it. |

Shall we help Mr. Rather make an exit?
www.cbsnews.com Scroll to the very bottom of the page and click on "Contact Us". Let CBS know how you feel. Tell them you and your family are writing their sponsors and locking out CBS on your TVs. |

You know what I find so interesting about this whole thing is that in another article I read on Drudge they quote Dan Blather as saying the 86 year old woman who would have written the documents says she didn't write them. But she then says that they do reflect how Killian felt about Bush. Dan Rather then says he's pleased by her saying that's how Killian felt and basically believes it's true because she said it.
So...that begs the question: Why does Dan Rather believe her when she says that the content of the documents reflects Killian's feelings about Bush, but then doesn't believe her when she says the documents are fakes? Hmmmm....I wonder.... Oh, and by the way, never mind the daughter and wife of Killian who both say that Killian DID NOT feel that way about Bush. They surely wouldn't have nearly as much knowledge about what he thought as Killian's secretary |

done. Contacted CBS with my statement and a boycott of all sponsors until they come clean or fire Danny boy.
|

Time for the old hack propagandist to finally call it quits. TV news viewership is dropping, as is newspaper sales. Mainly due to the internet. Rather has made his money and then some. Too bad he still believes that people must rely on him for "facts".
Buh-bye Dan. |

Good for that POS spinster. He was nothing but a lapdog for the clinton admin anyway!
What fucking frequency are you on now Dan? |
|
He's had problems with every Republican administration going back to Nixon. Seems he doesn't hold Democrats to the same standards he holds Republicans. Partisan hack.
|
|
Its too bad that such a stable rock of accurate reporting is suffering such a setback in his career. I'm sure his accurate and truthful reporting will be missed should he be dismissed.
By all 3 of his viewers. |

Dan was a legend....................in his own mind.
Maybe he and Haroldo Reviera can team up. |

Dropped them a scorcher yesterday on his dumb ass
adios a$$hole Merica's tired of yer blathering (lies lies lies lies) |
|
You've GOT to read Ann Coulter's take on this story. She is always blistering, but this one is a classic!!
|
|
I dropped them a little note. I'd love to be a fly on the wall at C-BS right now.

I just sent CBS an email ripping them a new asshole over this and informed them that as long as Rather was there I would never again watch their news programs nor the channel period. I also informed them that I was emailing their sponsors and letting them know how I felt about Rather's stunt and his bias.
CBS has opened a big ol' can of worms with this one. Let's all get after them and send these bastards under. |
|
You know, I didn't even know that blathering idiot was still around until all. He's sure gotten quite the publicity. Makes you wonder.
|
|
Worse than that. During the cold war his reporting was very sympathetic to the commies IMHO. Where's the frequency indeed. 357mag |
|

Email sent to both CBS and the FCC. I would love for them to get involved in this.

Here is my note I sent to CBS today. Probably won't make any difference....

Trying to comment on this @ their website... This was on 60 Minutes, wasn't it??? Or was it on 60 Mins II? I forgot.

Here is my version:
Dan Rather! What is going on at CBS news? First there are documents, which are now clearly fake, then the experts CBS quoted come out of the woodwork and dispute the facts, now Dan Rather brings out a woman who says "believe me". Why should we suddenly believe the point of view of an 86-year-old woman who can recall incidents, which took place 35 years earlier? This IS NOT news. This is a witch-hunt. Get over it and get back to news. I feel that the news agencies are obliged to report the facts and not just toss out a piece of gossip and challenge the victim to defend himself. If CBS news does not fix this PROBLEM, I will boycott all CBS programming and its sponsors, and challenge my friends and coworkers to do the same. |
|
This is what I have been sending them.
To CBS, As a long time watcher I am writing you about the disgusting events that Dan Rather and your network have been pushing on the American Public lately. Is Dan Rather now the political spokesman for the Kerry campaign? I would rather news reporters report the facts and leave out their own political agenda or the political aganda of their friends. As I write this memo to you, I am also writing all of your major sponsors. I will no longer watch CBS or buy products from companies that advertise on your network. I am also recommending my friends and family members to do the same thing. Your credibility, as long as Dan Rather is a part of your lineup, is shot with me and my family members. I will from now on, tune in Fox News for all of my news. Infantry |
|
Dear CBS, Under reccomendation from my friend, Infantry, I will no longer be watching ANY CBS show, or buying any products that sponsor your company. I don't appreciate being lied to in regards to "news". If I wanted propaganda, lies and misinformation, I would be visiting KERRY/EDWARDS websites. I will be forwarding this request to all MY friends and family as well. No longer a viewer or supporter, Stoney Point edited to add I added the red in my actual letter to CBS. |

Another love note sent:
RE Dan Rather and Bush/NG memo: Whatever happened to objective journalism? Report the facts, don't make them up DAN! Note to CBS: your ratings suck. Not hard to figure out why. People are tired of your lack of integrity and political bias. |
|
That old broad voted against Bush in 2000, feels he isn't fit to serve, and says he was "selected, not elected". So she must be telling the truth. |
|
|
Now this is what I call a shitstorm. I bet those folks at CBS now dread getting up and going to work, knowing what awaits them. LOL.

Here's my email to CBS. I tried to be as polite as possible.
I'm deeply disappointed in CBS News and Dan Rather for the handling of the forged "Bush National Guard Memos". It was obvious from the start that these were fake documents. Gross negligence is evidenced by the lack of validation and investigation by CBS. The font was wrong, the type spacing was wrong, the superscript was wrong, etc., etc. References were made to a commanding officer who had retired 18 months earlier! I've come to find that CBS's own "experts" raised questions as to the validity of the documents. I can't find a single expert who would take the stand in a court of law to defend these forgeries. These forgeries are evidence of a federal offence (fabricating federal documents). What is more disturbing to me has been the response of anchor Dan Rather and CBS News once the obvious was pointed out. Instead of apologizing for the error and denouncing the source of the fraud, CBS and Rather have defended the forgeries, justifying them as being "accurate" if not authentic! What is going on? How can fraud be accurate? Lt. Col. Killian's own family denounced the fraudulent documents as not reflecting his actual thoughts! When I first learned of the forged memos I thought it might be due to incompetence, but I'm seeing a pattern that has led me to believe that CBS is aiding in fraud and slander against the President of the United States. Why hasn't anchor Dan Rather and CBS denounced the memos or their source? Has CBS officially joined John Kerry's Presidential campaign? Well, I still feel that there is an opportunity to restore CBS's and Dan Rather's jounalistic integrity. First, I feel that Dan Rather owes President George W. Bush a public apology. On the "60 Minutes" program, Rather waved the fraudulent memos over his head while publicly attacking Pres. Bush's character and military service. I can't believe Dan Rather has waited so long to offer his apology. Second, CBS needs to completely disavow the faked documents and publish their source. The documents are evidence of a federal crime, and the guilty need to meet justice in accordance with the law. If CBS fails to do their duty, I will be forced to believe that CBS is aiding and protecting criminal behavior. I will ask my Senators and Congressional Representatives to investigate CBS and prosecute accordingly. I expect the apology to be made and the sources revealed within the day. CBS has had plenty of time to seek redemption, and I'm running out of patience for criminal behavior. Tomorrow I contact my Reps and ask them to take action. Thank you for your time. I hope you will take steps to restore your integrity. Sincerely, "Shane333" |

Paraphrasing Neal Boortz, "Dam Blather is nothing more than a void surrounded by sphincter muscle." |
