Comments on: Dan Rather on Your World http://insidecable.blogsome.com/2007/09/21/7261/ Unvarnished news & opinion on cable news Fri, 06 Nov 2009 09:51:56 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=1.5.1-alpha by: bigred http://insidecable.blogsome.com/2007/09/21/7261/#comment-51876 Sun, 23 Sep 2007 14:45:53 +0100 http://insidecable.blogsome.com/2007/09/21/7261/#comment-51876 Rather was the Managing Editor & anchor for CBS News. That means every fact, every detail, every source needed to be looked over, and ultimately approved, by him. He failed miserably. They used a source they knew was unreliable and openly hated Bush. They used documents their own experts had serious questions about. Rather blew it and his attempts to reestablish his legacy are pathetic. It's over Dan. Show some of your famous "courage" and get on with your life. Rather was the Managing Editor & anchor for CBS News.

Later on in the interview, he said that he was the main editorial guy of the broadcast or something... so maybe he pressured himself to run it? Either that, or someone well above him forced him to do it, which I would say is pretty unlikely.
