Dan Rather has been biased for a LONG TIME

There is plenty of information all over the internet about Dan Rather and CBS so I won't duplicate it here. But, I am not the only one that has known about Rather's extreme bias and his efforts to influence his viewing audience.

If you remember, it was Dan Rather who went to Iraq on February 24, 2003 to interview Saddam Hussein.

Tom Marsland wrote an article at NewsMax about Rather Treasonous Dan and pointed out that Rather "called the mass murderer Hussein "Mr. President" and disrespectfully referred to his own President Bush as simply "Bush."

Tim Graham wrote about Rather's disgusting, unpatriotic and self-serving actions at National Review Online "Dan Rather's big interview with Saddam Hussein Wednesday night was not an exercise in social responsibility. It was a commercial opportunity, no more dignified than Martin Bashir exploiting Michael Jackson. It didn't put the American people first. It put Dan Rather first. On last night's shows alone, Rather was softer than ABC's Barbara Walters was with Robert Blake and CBS's Troy Roberts was with "preppy killer" Robert Chambers. These men were at worst small-time killers. Saddam Hussein is a mass murderer, a man who has children killed in front of their parents as a torture tactic. Rather called him "President Hussein" and "Mr. President," and sat cooperatively as he declared that he had won 100 percent of the last election. "100 percent," Rather repeated, with a tone that sounded like "you don't say."

And don't forget that it was Dan Rather, in 2001 when speaking to Imus who said "What happened was they [CBS management] got the willies, they got the Buckwheats. Their knees wobbled and we gave it up." Rather was telling Imus that it was HE who kept CBS from reporting on the Chandra Levy case, calling his bosses "buckwheats" when they decided to air coverage on the story against Rather's wishes.

At Rather Biased they have been documenting Rather's shameful behavior for a long time.

Dan Rather is a disgrace. Dan Rather is un-American.
