Rather Steps Down

Veteran CBS news anchor Dan Rather to step down. Yeah, Rather steps down, but he’s not actually completely out. He’ll still be working for CBS. Psh. Like I said before, lying to the American public just isn’t as important as other issues.

This part was the best: “‘It is baffling that a journalist with Rather’s skill and experience could have made such an egregious mistake on the Bush National Guard documents story,’ Hanson said, while adding, ‘it was not an error that should define his career, but to many detractors it will.'”

It’s not baffling, if you think he did it on purpose. It’s just not in my cynical nature to give him the benefit of doubt. Besides, consider Ockham’s Razor… malicious intent is a simple explanation and it makes sense.
