Dan Rather's suit likely to embarrass Bush

So much for the liberal media myth, they sure dragged Clinton through the coals too. Go Dan!

Mainstream Media sux.

The Bush insidious transgressions need to be more exposed, so that our country never again has to be subjected to a usurped presidency or the oppression and abuse from such a puppet leader as he...

I commend Dan Rather and wish him success in his struggle for justice...

George W. Bush is not the only one who should be embarrassed. Mainstream media should be exposed and shamed for playing politics with our public airwaves. Mainstream media knew the truth and chose to spin. Spinning, distorts the truth by promoting facts and distorted facts as equal without exposing the true facts as truth. Truth should win over spin. Spinning has made America dizzy. People are very divided, due to the spin of mainstream media.

Dan Rather’s suit will force people to state the truth out loud. Under oath, the truth and nothing but the truth, so help them God. Exposing the truth will help guide mainstream media in the future. They should feel shame for misleading ordinary Americans who have trusted them to tell them the whole truth and nothing but the truth. Far to many Americans are too busy to verify. Shaming those who distorted the truth will help ordinary Americans realize, the need to verify and shame those who try to mislead them. We should be able to trust the news we hear. We now pay for television, it’s not free anymore.

Further humiliation for Bush. Karma is a bitch.

Dan Rather was enjoyed by many. It did seem very awkward when he just quit.

Im glad that they (Bush et. al) werent able to scare him so bad that he completely accepted being forced to resign over something that in all actuality was probably true. Go Dan, take those fuckers down a notch and show them that they arent the all-powerful despots they think they are.

Dan Rather may bring credibility back to journalism. Dan Rather was punished for trying to report questions surrounding George W. Bush's service record. The questions weren't answered. Mainstream media spun Dan Rather instead. Sad!

Ignorance does not become embarrassed. Bush is shameless.

I am embarrassed that the U.S. needs a British newspaper to keep informed of the legal proceedings involving Dan Rather.

I am embarrassed that John Kerry kept silent about this fiasco while he was being "Swiftboated".

I am embarrassed we have not impeached this war criminal. He has stolen 8 years of despotic rule, and we let him.

Dan Rather got fired for reporting a true story. What type of country are we living in when high profile, extremely well respected journalists get fired for reporting the truth.

Good for you Dan Rather. Make 'em pay.
I remember the "embedded journalists" in the invasion of Iraq, just being shills for the Bush-talk. Just reading it right off their script.
Bush gets in - suddenly we got NASCAR - and horse racing. And every person in public positions just going right along.
He had 90% (so we are told) favorable opinion polls.
Pretty bad. Pretty damn bad.

power to the people!!! Dan should get more than what hes sueing for, he should get ownership of the company so they can start reporting the truth rather than being a social engineering tool.

Rather PROSTITUTED himself, he deserved any thing he got. CHEESY POLITICAL HACK!!!!!

all of you are like ...I'm on the good team.. how many voted for nader in 08??

Truth is truth, he (Bush) didn't go. My dad went, others went. Bush you've been found out! I thought news folks were fired when they lied.

Dan Rather is an excellent journalist willing to stand by the truth at any risk. Hats off Dan!

Or manufacture it, if necessary to obtain a political goal. At one time in his life I would have considered him at least a journalist, but those times have long since left him.Now,.... he is just a pawn in the Left's political machine. And PAWNS are expendable. BTW,....He wouldn't know the truth if it knocked him flat, oh yeah, ...it has. lol

Good Job Dan Rather.

Someone once said that the media's main function is to be the 4th department of government. They should be up to their necks in information good and bad to keep the public informed. All departments of the government should fear the media because of their relentless search for facts and truth. Americans have been sold out. The medium has become a puppet of the political powers in Washington. They print and say what the government says is true. Dan Rather is a man with many years of distinguished service. Maybe he did slip up and do something wrong but that shouldn't cancel out the years of integrity he has portrayed as a trusted and reliable news commentator. Could the ultimate truth here be that the guys upstairs inflicted with the, please the government disease, were waiting for an excuse to get rid of this tried and true employee because of his integrity?

GET EM RATHER !!!!!

What this story fails to cover is the best part... that the documents were most likely real. all the speculation was based on a particular typeset that many experts thought only to be new...but proved later that it came from a typewriter of that era...

so think about it as if the documents were real...

Bush won't be embarrassed. He's totally divorced from reality (as are a good many of those who voted for him). Remember, close to a third of U.S. citizens--including Bush himself--still think he's done a heckuva job.

the truth will set dan-o free.

I love it. Even on this thread we have the "It's liberal media, so it can be dismissed without further review."
Let's see. Liberal media lies include but not limited too;
Bush was a draft dodger, Iraq did not attack the US on 9/11, Iraq has no WMD's, someone at the white house committed treason by outing a CIA opperative, $30 billion in cash missing in Iraq, 200,000 weapons unaccounted for in Iraq, Bush/Cheney approve torture, Halliburton making billions on no bid contracts, Dept of interior selling off public lands, clean coal technology does not exist, Blackwater murders innocent civilians, whistleblower of vote fraud in 00, 02, 04, 06 elections dies in mysterious plane crash after testifying agains the Bush Administration.
Prove just one of these to be false and I will publicly kiss your fascist ass.
