Rather made a mistake and paid with his job. Cronkite called it as he saw it.

Rather didn't "make a mistake". He had a 20-year career that consisted of relentless attacks against conservatives in his purportedly "unbiased" forum at CBS.

Look at Armstrong Williams or Gannon/Guckert or whatever his name is. Here we have the White House buying journalists...a free press, particularly one that says things in opposition is crucial to democracy...you don't seem to understand that..

Oh, bullcrap. This incident had nothing to do with a "free press". It is no different than what has been done with 1000 other initiatives over the years, from drug education to attempts to inform the public about services available to them.
