Dan Rather steps down from nightly news spot
Written by: Beck
He'll remain as a correspondent for 60 Minutes & other special assignments. He was old (73) and his retirement isn't exactly a surprise, but I can't help but think that work by people like
Bill of INDC Journal and the folks at
Powerline Blog served to accelerate the process.
Rather, 73, has come under fire for his 60 Minutes report on President Bush's service in the National Guard during the Vietnam War. The report relied on documents that cast Mr. Bush's service in a negative light. Critics charged that the documents were forgeries, and CBS News was unable to vouch for their authenticity. An independent commission is now investigating the matter.
Personally, I ain't gonna miss him. No replacement has been named.
