Rather Blather

I think Dan Rather is attempting to become a “tough guy” of late – or is he? Rather says that today’s anchormen and journalists have no back bone and they need a transplant immediately. But wait! There’s a tiny bit more to the story. Just take a lookie, lookie (from Fox News)

‘Spine Transplant’ Required?

Former CBS Evening News anchor Dan Rather argues that today’s reporters are suffering from a lack of backbone, saying, “American journalism needs a spine transplant and we need it quickly.” Rather added that the public should make its voice heard by asking leaders and publishers’ tough questions.

Those remarks came during a Q&A session in which all the questions were pre-selected by members of Rather’s entourage. The Los Angeles Times reports that Rather was not asked about the discredited story on President Bush’s National Guard Service.
