On an NPR show (Wait Wait, Don't tell me) yesterday the commentator, who over the years has been a staunch liberal, was making small talk and Rather's name came up. The commentator commented Wink

that Rather would soon be among the unemployed and the following sequence made great fun of him. It wasn't a news show - more entertainment, and once mindsets like that percolate to the informal every-day level I think it shows that the opinion is widespread and set. His own kind have turned on him!

I wonder if Rather ever found out what the frequency is? It's time for smug, arrogant, all self important, self serving elitist journalists to retire.

Rather and BOR are kindred spirits.

Sounds to me as though the comment was made in the spirit of the moment and intended just to be humorous.

On the other hand, Martha Stewart is going to prison, Clinton was impeached, Gray Davis was recalled, and the New York Times had to apologize for Jayson Blair. So, anything can happen.

The broadcast television MSM has been a subversive anti-American institution created and nutured to spoon feed left wing dogma to the American public. Only now are right wing personalities gaining a toe hold in cable/satellite television MSM. The silent majority is finally getting the truth told to them. The blinders are off! We finally have a frequency of our own and the left is loosing their strangle hold on their ability to shape our political allegiances and subvert the best interests of America.

Rather biased was scheduled to retire at the end of the year.

But we all know what happens to retired and discredited liberals. They get plum positions and $$$$$$$$$$ in compensation to pontificate their failed philosophies and ideas on the uneducated public.

Rather will be speaking at every Ivy League school in the nation, defending himself and attacking the VRWC at every stop.

Old leftists never die, they just go on the university lecture circuit.

Wait a second, wasn't Rather involved in some other fistacuffs within the past two years or so? I seem to recall another mugging type incident where he was on set the next day and his stage pancake makeup (Rumor has it takes 3 hrs to make him presentable to the camera) failed to totaly cover the bruise around his lip. I also think Rather would make a fine on air compainon to Art Bell so that he could continue to babble on in the middle of the night about the "vast right wing conspiracy" that lost him his job at SeeBS.
