Rather probably wasn't within 20 miles of the car bomb, but it's a great way for his network to suck in more viewers.

Dan Rather isn't a reporter, he's a talking head on tv that reads a teleprompter.

Sorry I kinda got off the topic.

Ha, kinda like when Geraldo "wept over the hallowed ground" where US soldiers were killed in Afghanistan, and it was later proven that he was about 90 miles from the area. But if they say that Rather's film crew got the aftermath on tape, it's hard to argue with that.

 

[swayinOtis]

he's no geraldo rivera.

that explosion they heard was probably dan letting out a huge fart. old people fart a lot, you know.

Dan was a reporter back in the day. Of course I have not cared for Rather since he and Bush Sr. got into it back in the 80's. I felt that Rather was never respectful enough of Bush afterwards.

Hmmmmmmm.........seems like Mr. Rather is not very well liked around here.....

 

[etech]

"Rather, who was off last week, will be in Israel for a few days, depending on the news, the network said. "

And the condition of his underwear.



" old people fart a lot, you know."

I fart in your general direction for that statement.

But if they say that Rather's film crew got the aftermath on tape, it's hard to argue with that.

Right. Just what I said. The key word is "aftermath". Geez, they could have shown up 3 hours after the bomb went off and even if they did I doubt if Rather would risk his precious life going with them. Unless they have him standing in front of the "aftermath" 3 hours later, or dubbed him into the video.

You don't really believe that the network he works for would let him put himself in danger, do you?

Damn, they missed!!!:|

Dan Rather is a boil on the ass of society.
I suggest reading Bernard Goldbergs book "BIAS".
Rather is a pimp for the vast leftwing conspiracy.

I think he's pretty cool. He has a great voice, and is probably the best Letterman guest ever.

The first show after 9/11 when he was on the show bawling was very moving.

Other times, he's flat out hilarious.

I really don't care if he doesn't like the Bushies. I don't either.

And I think this story's legit too. It's not a CBS released story, it's AP. Plus, after the explosion, the film crew backtracked to get footage.

What Geraldo did was an out and out lie for the K-Mart news network.

Well atleast that one bullet was like within 2 feet of geraldo's head I give him more credit.

It was probably from his gun too. Geraldo is the most jaundice of yellow journalists.

What's that I hear? A little whimper from the pinko's. I hope you can do better than that.

What more do you want? I've already said that believing such things is retarded. Stop blaming others for your own issues. You're the one who started this with your ignorant, blind, facist views (you have no proof I'm a "pinko," but that didn't stop you).

I mean one guy with a vendetta wrote a book...

Dan Rather doesn't like most Republicans. That doesn't make him a bad journalist. You're just looking for any reason you can find to back up your irrational thoughts.

The worst of it all is saying too bad they missed. There are lots of people I don't like, but I'm not scum enough to wish they die (with the exception of Yoko Ohno ) just because I don't watch their show.

Let the right wingers whine. I know they miss the cold war when this sort of name calling actually resonated. Too bad taliban is a right wing regime, otherwise they would be calling you mullah or something.

Typical knee jerk liberal. Exactly which statement of mine could be construed as "blind", "ignorant", or "fascist".



<< I mean one guy with a vendetta wrote a book... >>



The "one guy" happens to be one of the most highly regarded journalists in the business who didn't have a political axe to grind.
In fact he admits to never voting for a republican in his life.
Read the book, if you've got the guts.

 

[HappyPuppy]

Dan Rather is not a journalist, he is a talking tv head who reads a teleprompter. His trip to Israel is meant to geve him false veracity.

He was probably sipping a Shirly Temple and fondling one of his crew at the Sheraton or Hilton in Jersualem when the report came in that a car bomb had been detonated. He and his crew then rushed to the scene, after an appropriate amount of time to be sure that the area was now safe, and taped Rather "at the scene".

Vast leftwing conspiracy? WTF? I know plenty of left wing people, and know of nothing of this so called "vast leftwing conspiracy."

 

[Nefrodite]

anyone bring up his biography? or something? i just know he's covered a lot of stuff as a journalist.. wel he is an old fart u know i can't remember what and right now i'm downloading the ttt trailer over dialup..so can't look

Oh, I have the guts, in fact I've read a lot worse. Right now though, I'm in the middle of two SQL books, two VB books and trying to read TTT in my "spare time."

 

[BDawg]

Oh yeah, here you go.

On the Bias - Geoffrey Nunberg

<< "Dan Rather is a boil on the ass of society. I suggest reading Bernard Goldbergs book "BIAS". >>



I read the book and Rather is a liar, a back stabber, and a pig.

I would love to see him go a few rounds with Jerry Rivers in some celeberty boxing action.
