THE LYNCHING OF DAN RATHER
On British TV, Dan feared the price of "asking questions"

-huge snip-


This is not a story about Dan Rather. The white millionaire celebrity can defend himself without my help. This is really a story about fear, the fear that stops other reporters in the US from following the evidence about this Administration to where it leads. American news guys and news gals, practicing their smiles, adjusting their hairspray levels, bleaching their teeth and performing all the other activities that are at the heart of US TV journalism, will look to the treatment of Dan Rather and say, "Not me, babe." No questions will be asked, as Dan predicted, lest they risk necklacing and their careers as news actors burnt to death.

1. That's a good piece by G Palast. He also has docs our media won't show

He also writes
"What I haven't read about in my own country's media is about two crucial documents supporting the BBC/CBS story. The first is Barnes' signed and sworn affidavit to a Texas Court, from 1999, in which he testifies to the Air Guard fix -- which Texas Governor George W. Bush, given the opportunity, declined to challenge. "

It's galling to know how mis- and uninformed we are in this country, and that we have to go outside of it for the real news of our own affairs. Hats off to Greg Palast and those like him.

2. Why doesn't Dan show them then???

At this point he should not care what happens. If he has the memos that are legitimate then show them!
