One to ponder Rathergate blog As the wait for the Rathergate report stretches into its fourth month, allow me to give you the following scenario to consider. How would cBS “News” and other media agencies react if the White House … a) Waited almost two weeks to admit a mistake over questionable documents that were immediately discredited, b) Disciplined no one as the result of the mistake, c) Promised a prompt investigation that dragged into months and months, and d) Debated with attorneys over removing items the government felt the media did not need to know? We’d never hear the end of it. Maybe the delay is because the two-man investigative team of Dick Thornburgh and Louis Boccardi is being thorough or has uncovered new dirt. I don’t know – I’d love to be a fly on the wall at cBS. If it means a better, deeper chronicling of the liberal rot that has seeped into the network’s “news” division, I’ll wait longer for the report. But if this is not the case, the wait is becoming yet another albatross around the neck of the corrupt “news” agency. It would reflect an arrogance that America has come to expect from the media – the media demand complete transparency from government and big business, but circle around the wagons when scrutiny falls upon their ethics, or lack thereof. The silence from the rest of the media and journalism organizations over the stonewalling is deafening. The final report had better reveal what took so long. I’ll be more forgiving of the team’s persistence than I will corporate secrecy.
