Reply With QuoteYeah, whatever. His ratings continue to plunge (the only poll the network cares about) and another Radio station has dropped CBS News.
Looks like a majority of the public can see beyond the Right-wing spin...
USA TodayPoll: CBS' memo story an 'honest mistake'
By Peter Johnson, USA TODAY
Most Americans think CBS News anchor Dan Rather made an "honest mistake" in his controversial story on President Bush's military service and should not be fired for it, according to a USA TODAY/CNN/Gallup Poll of 1,006 adults released Monday.
snip........
In the poll, 56% said that Rather and CBS had made an honest mistake — perhaps because of "carelessness in their fact-checking and reporting." Asked if CBS News should fire Rather, 64% said no.
The poll also found 55% of people think they can trust CBS News to report the news accurately; 41% said they can't. Asked about general media accuracy, 52% were positive, 47% negative.
Brent Bozell, founder of the Media Research Center and a frequent critic of Rather, said that neither CBS News nor the media in general should be heartened by the findings.
Yeah, whatever. His ratings continue to plunge (the only poll the network cares about) and another Radio station has dropped CBS News.
"Most Americans think CBS News anchor Dan Rather made an "honest mistake" in his controversial story on President Bush's military service and should not be fired for it, according to a USA TODAY/CNN/Gallup Poll of 1,006 adults released Monday." ............He made a "mistake" alright but there wasn't anything "honest" about it!
