9. I do agree Rather is not as bad but...
I don't think a journalist's job is to tell the audience that he or she supports the president's views or actions. Their job is to simply report "subjectively" as best as they can.

There were plenty of people who knew there were no evidence of Iraq and Al Qaeda prior to going to war. It's should of been their job to point this out. No one in the mass media did this including Rather.

At this point, I don't think supporting a lesser evil of evil journalists is a good thing.
