Anyone watching this?

He just basically said he was forced out of his job because the "very top executives" of the CBS news division wanted a Republican president in office because it would benefit Viacom, and felt that Rather damaged the Republican appeal by doing his Abu Ghraib and Bush National Guard stories. Also mentions how the heads of the company screwed with his reporting of those stories, and delayed them for weeks.

Neil is being relatively polite, but he's not softballing him by ANY means. Basically spinning it to blame Rather for it, and saying he's guilty of doing what he accuses Fox news of doing (taking their talking points from the White House).

Now HERE is a Ron Paul supporter we need :)

Anyone got a youtube of this?

He probably supports a Democrat.

WOW. They totally cut him off mid-sentence and went straight to commercial, and no mention of anything when they got back from commercial. Going on like he was never on.

I guess the segment went long, but still - you think they'd try and wrap it up, wouldnt you? Weird.

Dan Rather has a lot to atone for. Maybe this is an opportunity for him to do so. The one campaign issue not being discussed by the corporate media is themselves.

Rather was CFR, not sure if he is still part of the clique.
