JB, it's funny that you titled this thread after one of the goofiest, strange and anoying things Rather did. Ending his broadcasts for a while by saying "courage". Sorry, but he has been a joke for a long time.
Even Cronkite just said that he should have left or been fired a long time ago.
What a bag crap biased crap he was. He was caught fabricating more than one major story.
Rather led CBS into a ratings loser.
