Re: That means, that since 911, Rather can't get away with "bad mouthing" this country the way he used to. Things are so much clearer now that you have stepped in to explain the truth. Dan Rather was earning $7 million a year for bad mouthing this country. And CBS and its advertisers were happy to pay him. Now that 911 has occurred and fear has gripped this country (and especially Dan Rather), things are so much better now.
