The overnights from Drudgereport for Dan's departure:
DAN RATHER PULLS TOP AUDIENCE FOR ANCHOR FINALE;
CBS EVENING NEWS 7.2 RATING/13 SHARE OVER
NBC NIGHTLY 6.5/12 OVER
ABC WORLD 6.3/11...
leads me to note that Rather had to leave CBS in order for the network to finally come in first.
The MSM is outdoing itself on damage control. It was evil bloggers who are right wing fanatics who are to blame; Dan had no fault in any of this. This tells you more than anything else that theirs is a celebrity cult having nothing to do with issues of honesty or credibility or even free speech for anyone except themselves. And isn't that, really, the issue? Blogs are what Letters to the Editor used to be when newspapers sought consensus and not control of the national agenda. That was before newspapers followed the lead of broadcast media that never sought or accepted feedback.
