Rather was a victim of age discrimination...Bwahahaha!

Below is my response to Ms. Estrich and views@foxnews.com to her column today about CBS letting Dan "The Forger" Rather go:

I read Ms. Estrich's opinion column on Foxnews.com regarding CBS's poor treatment of Dan Rather. I laughed long and loud that she attributes Rather's fall to old age; I suppose a shallow woman of Ms. Estrich's age might prefer to think that as opposed to the truth. But while I believe that most of the US thinks that Dan Rather and CBS should have been brought up on federal election tampering charges for the Texas Natl. Guard debacle, that event was only the latest in a lifetime of serially biased reporting by Rather and CBS. Ms. Estrich can continue to deny the truth like the rest of the leftists in media, but the sad fact is that the majority of today's media practices biased yellow journalism as a rule, not an exception. "Rather Biased" has been a popular bumper sticker for decades.

CBS and its fellow harpies at CNN, NBC, ABC, the NYT, the WaPo, etc. steadily lose viewers/readers because they are hopelessly biased towards the left, this is only a quickly rejected "theory" among leftists - it's FACT to everyone else. Liberal media has long insulated themselves against the real, moderate, and even conservative leanings of the majority of the US in their attempts to push their liberal agenda. Dan Rather was the poster child of that leftist reporting, followed closely by Peter Jennings, but joined by 99 out of 100 people in the legacy media crowd.

Until the surge in popularity of the Internet, Fox News, and conservative talk radio, the average US citizen had no other option but to attempt to sift through the socialist agenda of available news sources for nuggets of truth. Ever since Cronkite's Tet Offensive propaganda (where good old 'trusted' Walter helped waste the lives of an additional 40k soldiers in Vietnam, and ultimately MILLIONS of innocent Vietnamese, through his agenda-driven reporting), and even before that when Ed Murrow took the teeth out of McCarthy's very important and accurate work weeding out the communist spies in our midst, the media has been in bed with anti-democratic, anti-American forces in our country. The passage of time and the demise of the Soviet Union have proven that McCarthy was stopped way too soon, before he was able to turn his attention to the communists in media and academia.

When there are no alternative news sources, ratings don't suffer. But where Americans can get both sides of the story, or at least the facts without the liberal agenda, they will come, in droves. With millions of potential new news viewers added every passing year, the sharp decline in viewership in legacy media ought to have been a HUGE wake-up call for media company owners. Instead, pundits whine about 'CBS age discrimination' that turns off viewers. Bwahahahahaha!

Personally, I'm a big fan of liberals keeping their heads in the sand about the fact that Americans are VERY aware of and DETEST their leftist leanings. The old media pulled out ALL the vile, underhanded stops in their efforts to get Kerry elected in 04 and Gore in 00. Their rage at their failure drives their continuing hatred of George Bush, moderates and conservatives, the American military, and our Iraqi coalition partners. The leftist media is doomed, and thank goodness for that. Ms. Estrich's efforts at dissembling aside, we the people will continue to ignore them in ever larger numbers.

Signature removed.
