“The swashbuckling youth of the hard-right don’t remember Rather on the frontlines in Vietnam aggressively reporting a war that would bring down a Dem President. They don’t remember Chicago 68′ and the Democratic National Convention when Rather was dragged out of the hall for his no-holds-barred reporting. They don’t remember when conservative CBS affiliates stood behind Rather when he faced-off with President Nixon in 74′. They don’t remember, but I do and they are great memories of a great American journalist. I know. Its a fast-food country and you are only as good as your last story. That may be the fact, but as Rather might say, that’s not the truth.”
