thread on Du about CBS's Dan Rather...
Edited on Thu Sep-23-04 09:51 PM by myday38
By reading these threads, most of us are aware the
conservatives are putting a huge amount of pressure on CBS, their affliates and their advertisers to fire Dan Rather.
Their attempt at controlling what little bit of media they
don't own.
Please read the thread linked below and then call or write CBS and your local station..If Dan Rather goes...we will end up with another Faux news puppet put in his place.

The captain of the team who gave such a drubbing to CBS was Carlton Doolittle, an all-American conservative blogger from Texas.

We met in a chat room.

"Congratulations," I said. "What an upset."

"It was a team effort," he typed back. "The conservative bloggers have been waiting for some time to get Rather and his team."

"How did you find out how weak their line was?" I asked.

He typed back, "As soon as Rather kicked off with the story on "60 Minutes II," I sent a message to 'Tex' Hotrod, Charley Rov and Sam Flyswatter. Then all the papers picked it up and ran with it."

"Is that when Rather called 'time out?"' I asked.

"Yes, but he fumbled and lost control of the ball."

I wrote, "I saw it on television."

"Once the ball started rolling, bloggers from all over the country blitzed Dan. None of us could leave our computers. It was the biggest reaction we've ever had on the Internet. I've gotten e-mails asking me to be on Fox TV, the "Today" show and "Good Morning America," and Peter Jennings wants to make me Person of the Week."
