yeah...... 1. Rather Fails to Admit Forgery or Apologize for Impugning Critics On Monday's CBS Evening News Dan Rather refused to describe the memos as forgeries, offered no apology for impugning critics, who turned out to be accurate, as "partisan political operatives" and "partisan political ideological forces," conceded CBS approached Bill Burkett despite Burkett's well-known Bush-hating animosity and devoted much less time to the clarification than to two CBS Evening News stories which insisted upon the authenticity of memos. mrc.org

ironically, I never watch CBS news because Rather struck me as posturing more than reporting but last night, I did, to hear the statement bet their ratings last night were by far the highest and it's all about ratings, hence money but I do think it was their winning ratings 'swan song' my guess is they will lose ratings in time over this and Rather will quietly be shown the door as anchor I would love American's voices to be heard and have CBS booted from moderating the debates
