What Say I? I Say Shut The Hell Up Bill
Bill O'Reilly is a complete caricature of himself. Like Chris Matthews, he believes his own press about his importance and thinks what he says carries more weight than others. Here's the last word, Bill, you're a friggin' moron:
Right-wing talk radio in particular pounded Kerry and also bludgeoned Dan Rather for his role in another smear incident - the charges against President Bush about his National Guard service. Again, Rather was found guilty without a fair hearing. Charges that he intentionally approved bogus documents that made Bush look bad were leveled and widely believed. It was chilling.
As a CBS News correspondent in the early '80s, I worked with Rather and have known him for more than 20 years. Listen to me: There is no way on this Earth that he would have knowingly used fake documents on any story.
It may be true that Rather did not vet the information supplied to him by producers, but few anchor people do. They are dependent on other journalists, and this is a huge flaw in the system.
Uh Bill, Rather knew full well that the story was uncorroborated and chose to run it anyway. He had an agenda and used his position to push it. I think with your recent "issues" you would do well to take a break and stay out of the spotlight. However, being as you're an arrogant SOB, that is not likely to happen. What does this say about your credibility? Would you have run them?
