Dan Rather, got anything else to help Kerry
You might not realize this, but the major newspapers, like the NY Times, Boston Globe and Washington Post actually have people on their payroll whose sole responsibility is to go out and look for damaging information on President Bush. Yes, it?s true. They are paid by the newspapers and they are tasked with finding bad stuff on old Georgie. They?re called Reporters. It is no secret that the major news outlets are run by the liberal folks among us. They focus on bad news against the republicans and bury bad news on democrats. It follows a basic trend of liberal zealots who are more focused on negative campaigns. Money spent by groups trying to attack Bush is 5 times as much as money spent by groups trying to attack Kerry. But that?s ok. It?s the way this country works and level headed citizens, both liberal and conservative, pretty much see through it and form their own opinion.
But this nonsense with Dan Rather is crossing the line. Hey Dan, your reputation as a reputable newsperson is like my 32 inch waistline. A thing of the past and not likely to return. Treating Saddam Hussein with more regard than Bush was fine. After all, you are a nut. But fabricating a document that disparages Bush, reporting on it, getting caught in your lie, then embarrassing yourself by trying to talk your way out of it is?pathetic. It is almost sad to watch you flail and dry heave your way out of this mess. CBS can?t be blamed for sticking behind the story because they need to save face and stick to what they backed. In all likelihood, the execs that run the network probably considered throwing you under the bus but decided they like your Christmas parties and summer barbeques too much and wanted to remain on your mailing list.
This is not a big deal because Kerry is screwing things up enough without Dan adding to it. His stunt just backfired like my 78 Ford Fiesta in its final days. I might be wrong, but I have a feeling we are in for another 4 years of Bush. Not a bad thing.
