>> You are downplaying the fact that the reporter fabricated a quote and reported it as fact.

No, but I'm reasonably certain the "reporter" isn't the same person who read the teleprompter on the air.

Sort of like when Obama makes a speech -- if there are misstatements in it (as is so frequent), it is the writer who made the mistake.

If a writer made a mistake, fine. But let's not blow it out of proportion.

As to Dan Rather, I don't remember the details but I seem to recall he reported as true conclusions that were based on falsified documents, something along those lines.
