Dan Rather: If You Want News, Read
Zillionaire news reader Dan "Buckwheats" Rather has
unusual but good advice for his dwindling viewership: If
you want adequate information about stem cell research,
you'll get it from reading, not TV.
After CBS's limited coverage of President Bush's important
decision on stem cell research Thursday night, Rather said
that "obviously, this is a very complicated subject," the
Associated Press reported today.
"It's the kind of subject that, frankly, radio and
television have some difficulty with because it requires
such depth into the complexities of it," he said.
"So we can with, I think, impunity, recommend that if
you're really interested in this, you'll want to read in
detail one of the better newspapers tomorrow."
With that, Rather ended his "special report," and the
long-ago Tiffany Network trotted out the brain-dead
"reality" show "Big Brother."
