Dan Rather

I think he earned his rep as a liberal pit-bull during the Nixon era, but thats kind of like saying you were a dyed-in-the-wool Oiler's fan during the Gretzky years.

See Peter Jennings.

Can't argue with the man himself. He's an admitted liberal.

The guy took part in a democratic fund raiser and then said he didn't know it was one! Real Sharpe reporting there Dan!

He's the king of slant and has been since very early in his career. I saw a very old interview he did (early 60's, in black & white) of Ayn Rand. The interview was nothing but a thinly veiled attack on her. I can respect someone who disagrees with a point of view, but his attacks were almost completely personal and punitive. No intellectual substance. It was amusing to see her smile and be nice to him as she easily deflected attack after attack. The difference in intellect was so obvious. It was like watching a mad third grader argue with an adult. The guy clearly had very little integrity (he screwed Walter Cronkite out of his job rather than wait a few more years for him to retire). How he remained on TV for a long as he did is beyond me.

There is no question Dan Rather is biased. It doesn't take a rocket scientist to know whom he favors (liberals) as opposed to whom he has an axe to grind against (conservatives). The biggest example of his bias can be seen from watching Rather conduct an interview with President Bill Clinton during his final term in office, throwing softball questions- as opposed to his infamous 1988 exchange with then-Vice President George H.W. Bush. And for Rather to knowingly ('knowingly' because good reporters always know their sources and their authenticity) use forged documents in a futile attempt to embarrass George W. Bush during the 2004 election campaign is an act of gross liberal media bias. It's totally shameful that this once shining star of news reporting has sold his soul to the liberal establishment. And for Rather to conduct himself in a less-than-professional way speaks volumes not only about his integrity, but the degradation of CBS as an informative news outlet.

I like him. Got a raw deal! If anyone likes Bob Schieffer better, buy a new TV

This self deluded goofball earned big bucks fooling the American people. I guess he must not be stupid.

Very biased. The Bush story was the most obvious. Apologized for everything except the methods in authenticating the story.

Thank god he's off the air. I really think he lost his mind a few years ago. Hope he gets some treatment.

Amazing how one's ego can take them from a news reporter one day to being a total IDIOT the next!

The guy literally had to resign because he utilized forged documents willfully in a news broadcast and then defended their use by saying the story was true anyhow even though he didn't have proof. He did everything he could to help Kerry win this past year- the guy is a pretentious dirtball. Courage Dan it's all about courage.

we're not sorry to see you go

Most of the media is biased, but usually they somewhat conceal it, Dan Rather doesn't even try. He goes on the air with lies. Speaking of liberal bias, even the San Francisco Chronicle complained about CBS in this case.

This is just too easy. Someone who doesn't perceive the liberal bias in the US press, specifically the three major TV networks, please explain this federal documents incident. What could the explanation be, other than Rather and Mapes' political bias? And can anyone possibly believe this incident could not have happened at NBC or ABC?

When Mapes gave the memos to Rather, the bloggers work caused him to lather. He lied and he lied, he cried and denied, but soon unemployment he'll gather.

Rather biased? Does a bear sh!t in the woods?

His bias is leaking.....

CBS has always been biased! Where've you all been?

How unfortunate that we must question the reporting on one of our oldest and most staunch reporters. Dan, 'say it aint so'.

Rather extreme, don't you think? He clearly wins hands down (or, in his case, under the table) in this category. Although at this point the fiasco of the (probably) forged, bogus documents relating to W's service in the Texas Air National Guard has not been conclusively put to rest, it sure does seem as though Rather is either the biggest liar on national TV, or he is the biggest, most gullible fool of all. He is undoubtedly biased, as well as being pompous, arrogant, mean, vindictive, and intolerant. He's probably ruthless to boot as well, given the fact that he has managed to achieve and keep his position, despite what I would classify as his incompetence. But, I guess that may show bias on my part.

He is an old line communist.

A threat to National Security via : Broadcasting vanity at its lowest & most dangerous juncture. Rather like it if the old boy got out of the business and tried to find happiness again. Phoney, shallow, inefficient delivery techniques. Rosann Rosanna Danna would be an improvement. Hey, she was funny and sincere! ;-)

Maintains no neutrality in his delivery of the news, which is very disappointing given he sits in the anchor chair.

Of the three major network news anchors, he is the most biased. He clearly does not like Republican politicians, especially those who have served as a president. I will never forget the grilling he gave to Bush, Sr. a few years ago and the response he received in return. He was not too critical of Clinton, but he has not been the same toward W.

He is biased. Very biased. I hear more people complaining about him than any reporter. But Deborah Norville's even more one-sided and string-dimensional than him!

He's rather biased, wouldn't you say?
