Rathergate: Just go away, already!

I’d love nothing more than to quit rehashing something that is three years old, but damned if Gunga Dan won’t let sleeping dogs lie. From NRO:

The Gift That Keeps on Giving…

According to Drudge, Howard Kurtz’s new book reveals that CBS producers weren’t comfortable running Rather’s infamous National Guard story. When they balked at running it so soon without securing additional corroboration, Rather threatened to leak it to The New York Times.

I keep thinking that surely the Rathergate story must be exhausted. But years later, we’re still unearthing new angles that demonstrate the Rather’s hubris. The man is the Hindenberg of journalistic integrity.

There’s also more interesting stuff about Kurtz’s book over at the Media Blog.

Kudos to CBS for not wanting to run the unvetted story in the first place, but a pox on them for ultimately giving in to Rather’s blackmail.

About Me

I am a small-government social and fiscal conservative who values life, liberty, and property…AND ACCOUNTABILITY!

Modern liberalism is an evil, vile scourge on society that must be rendered impotent. This ideology has proven to be a demonstrable failure and incredibly harmful when administered on the body politic. That is why Normal America rejects it, and why most liberal politicians deny their liberal bent: they know that Normal America wants no part of it. The election of 2010 was irrefutable proof of that.

All viewpoints are welcome on my blog. However, if I ban you or edit/delete your comments, it’s because I found you to be offensive, repulsive, off-topic, or otherwise useless. My world, my rules. Deal with it, or beat it. You’re free to start your own blog with your own rules. WordPress charges nothing, and free seems to be a price that liberals can appreciate.

Finally, I had a happy childhood, so my worldview has NOT been “warped” by a lousy upbringing. Quite the contrary: I have been blessed, and my outlook has been molded accordingly. I won’t apologize for having grown up in a loving, middle-class family.
