Dan Rather is stepping down in advance of the report from the CBS independent commission investigating Rathergate. It’s quite possible that he knows what that report will say, and that stepping down in advance is a face-saving measure, so that he can say he left voluntarily rather than as a result of anything contained in the final report.
Can anyone doubt this would have happened without the efforts of the blogosphere to expose the Rathergate memos as forgeries? There’s an old saying, “Who’s watching the watchmen?” Mainstream media now has an efficient watchman—the blogosphere. It may take years, but MSM will improve greatly as a result.
