In an attempt to "go down in history," this week CBS evening news - or rather - Dan Rather - is featuring a "Reporter's Notebook" marking the end of his stint as CBS evening news anchor. Tonight, to further all the self-tooting, he slipped in the fact that he will also be appearing on David Letterman tonight. If "The Osborne's" proved anything, its that no matter how much air time you get, more doesn't always equal good.
I'm definitely not a member of the right wing the-media-is-controlled-by-liberals crowd, but its clear that he goofed up with the memo gate incident big time. He'll never go down in history as another Walter Cronkite figure. But the blame doesn't stay with him. Rather, O'Reilly - the whole lot of them - have all sort of lost the plot in the quest for ratings.
Don't get me wrong. There are many many journalists out there who deserve the utmost in respect for what they do, and at times, some of them lose their lives reporting the news.
Its just the egomanical folks at the top who kind of, well, drive me nuts sometimes.
