for; digging into a TRUE STORY about W's military service. I listen to him every time he's on MSNBC or any other channel. He still out performs all the younger journalists today.

There are so few true journalists on the airwaves...the gravitas of the evening news has long since been lost to history, but the entire profession is imperiled by the slime that the right wing passes of as "real news" while falsely accusing the legitimate press of being "fake".

The real tragedy is that the public has utterly lost its bullshit meter and there are so few of Rather's ilk to help guide them through the morass...
