My question to Dago was to prompt him to think about how he characterized Rather's news philosophy, and whether he thinks he's not getting the same treatment from the news source he uses.
I use a lot of sources, but pick up most of my news from internet news sources, including AP, Rueters, and the local news channel. I also watch CNN in the morning, and Fox in the evenings.
I also read books, you might try "Bias" by Bernard Goldberg. It is in your library, doing so will give you a good picture of Dan Rather by a CBS insider with detailed stories of Rather and his deliberate and biased manner of presenting the news. It was written long before Rathers fraudulent smear on Bush. An amazing thing about Rather, even after his "memo" was proven to be fraud, he said "the memo might have been fake, but the story was true". How could he actually say that when there was NO proof? Because he wanted to believe it, so he said that. Any true professional journalist knows, you cannot present something as true unless you have proof that has been checked and double checked.
Unless you are Dan Rather.
