CBS's "tribute" to Rather tonight

was rather ridiculous considering the way they refused to back him over the AWOL story and then basically dumped him afterwards. I was not impressed.

5. I emailed them a little while ago and

told them that I (a long time viewer) figured I could only handle 3 nights of Katie before I'd be gone. I also wondered how many other regular viewers they could be losing.

4. He wont though. Rather is mostly useless...

I also had a brief day-dream that he would write a tell-all bomb-shell book about how the network made him give fake reports about WMDs, etc- wont happen though.

3. The media loves to talk about itself. I say they hire a blonde in a bikini

If I'm going to have someone on the TV lie to me, I'd at least like to get a rise out of it.

8. I will not watch that station again.

What they did to Rather was horrible.

10. meanwhile O'Reilly deliberately lies evernight & stays on the air

rather's report was factual and accurate - he just screwed up one detail--and despite how many times the right says the documents were 'forged" (as hannity states often as if it were a fact), they've never been proven to be such
