Poor Dan Rather.
Dan is sueing CBS for $70 million for pulling his plug. Dan is upset with CBS for the way CBS handled his phony news story about President Bush's National Guard service in the late 1960s. After the ruckus over Dan's use of forged documents in the story - a blatant attempt to sway the 2004 election - CBS finally terminated old Dan's reign as the third place news anchor among the three major networks.
The networks have declining ratings for their news shows for good reasons. No longer are Americans limited to hearing the usual suspects report the news as they want. Today instead of depending on nightly news programs run by the standard liberals, consumers have talk radio, 24 hour cable news, the internet, and millions of blogs as sources of news. Thankfully, the old days are gone.
It must be tough on old Dan's ego. Hence, the $70 million lawsuit in an attempt to regain a little attention.
