So, did anyone else see Dan Rather on Real Time last night?

Everything he said was spot on when it comes to our modern mass media. We could use a lot more like him, he seems like a smart and honest guy.

Misanthrope Sycophant Monsters that rule the airwaves today ,with Agendas and accusations ,without one iota of useful information,has only one function and only one allegiance , to the 1% selling their Toothpaste and Fear.

from the time he was a local broadcaster in Houston. I always felt like I could trust him, much like Walter Cronkite, his predecessor.
