Dan Rather: Victim of the Decade


Dumping on his own reputation for $70 million

Logic board problems aside, I wanted to make a couple of brief points about Rather.

If you believe his press from before 2004, he was a go getter news hound who would let nothing stand in his way.

If you believe his lawsuit from a couple of days ago, he was a puppet who only mouthed what CBS execs wanted him to say.

Either way, it doesn't look good.

And only the right wing blogs are talking about the faked memos.

This wasn't unusual behavior for Dan Rather. I was on the periphery of two "hit jobs" by 60 Minutes, and I have personal knowledge of a half dozen more.

Dan Rather sometimes exaggerated to get the story. If that wasn't enough, he wasn't above fabricating the story.

That is what we should remember about Dan Rather.
