Getting back for a minute tothe discussion about the current state of the media, I was struck by the following:
"One way a reporter in this country should be judged is how often, how well he or she stands up to the pressure to intimidate," he said. "Be respectful, be polite, but ask the question. Just ask the damn question. What kind of reporter are you if you don't press the question?" http://www.boston.com/ae/tv/articles/2005/03/10/dan_rather_signs_off_cbs_evening_news/ a very good question and one we should be asking also. I am sure Sam will sign in with something about the National Guard story, so sure, it does seem that Dan Rather should have been double-checking the story not standing by it. An ironic criticism for the Bushies though, considering their man's repeated refusal to question his positions. But whatever. I am not here to praise Dan Rather but to say you know, we really do need more people who are willing to ask the damn question. Dana -- ....they did not stop to think they died instead then shall the voice of liberty be mute?" ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Discover CFTicket - The leading ColdFusion Help Desk and Trouble Ticket application http://www.houseoffusion.com/banners/view.cfm?bannerid=48 Message: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=i:5:149973 Archives: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/threads.cfm/5 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=s:5 Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.5 Donations & Support: http://www.houseoffusion.com/tiny.cfm/54
