  • moonves! and his wife = two idiots. completely useless and without talent or intelligence. but, in america today substance doesn't matter.

  • sensationalistic, ratings-driven, fear-propaganda machine feeding us rubbish...

    Like the Russians say, the truth is not news and news is not the truth.

  • wtg Mr. Rather... he is a scumbag sack of crap.... he tried pulling crap on Howard Stern and lost.... what a ridiculous caved in faced old fart Moonves is.

  • this moron calling himself dan rather is a liar and a phoney....GOT SACKED THROUGH LYING ON NATIONAL TELEVISION...LOL!!!!!!

  • @BluntSmokeBluntSmoke wheres is the source?

  • Dan Rather is ABSOLUTELY right on here!

  • did anyone have a problem with the sound?

  • I wish there were more Rather's than these Entertainment Tonight hosts.....

  • i hate that ass hole...

  • No matter who the anchor is, the CBS Evening News is still the best broadcast.

  • i miss Dan, Peter and Tom

  • Dan rather is right. TV news anchors should report on news that the public should know about. Not what celebs are going to jail and other stupid stuff.

  • I'm a feminist and I agree w/ Dan . it's got nothing to do w/ gender

  • @WarRogers It is about attracting a younger audiance correct? Do you think that is why Katie Couric was chosen? I like her she is doing a great job at CBS news but Dan Rather is right. Reporters should tell stories that are important to American and not the unimportant like the Paris Hilton jail saga.

  • I agree with Dan on every word, love to correct him sometimes, courage is what he is

  • It has nothing to do with gender???? How does he figure that? Has he ever called a man a "tart"?????

  • just like any corporation, hiring stupidity deserves a raise! FUKEM!

  • I think dan gave les to much credit.

  • What's the frequency, Kenneth?

  • Regardless of whatever bias the man may have carried as anchor, he and his 2 contemporaries (Brokaw and Jennings) could DELIVER hard news!! And that has largely died today, because - as Dan said - the networks nowadays are run by seemingly incompetent corporate fuckheads who know next to nothing about real hard news. All you need for proof is to watch the 3 CREAMPUFFS they have in those anchor chairs now and all the liberal P.C. fluff they give on a nightly basis

  • 10-6-2009. Happy 60th Birthday, Les Moonves.

  • what a dillweed. He's being sexist and sour grapeish.

    and the dork interviewing him is just as stupid.

  • Dan Rather's lawsuit was dismissed. Fuck Dan Rather! He's a commie-lib, sniveling opportunist who was a disgrace to journalism.

    And now the court just affirmed that. His end was a fitting end for such a corrupt, left wing buffoon. Dan Rather willingly slandered W Bush in an unsuccessful effort to sway a national election.

    What a pathetic attempt that backfired on his ass. Poetic Justice! Dan Rather left a real black eye on the industry he debased for far too long. Good Riddance!

  • Why haven't I heard earlier about this guy?

  • I guess you know what it feels like now compared to almost thirty years ago when you and Bill O'Reilly were both at CBS and you didn't want hard news then right you dumb bastard. That's why you "dumbed" him down then. But that's OK you now know what its like. Like they say what goes around comes around.

  • Wait till Seth MacFarlane sees this :)

  • Dan Rather's a badass. His final line really nailed it: "You put Oprah in front of me, and Entertainment Tonight behind me, and I'll WIN for you, any market in the country." That's a ballsy statement from a guy with the integrity to back it up.

  • U tell um Dan, news is whats happening in the world "NEWS" not a funny tv show

  • Moonves is an asshole. go eat shit

  • fuck you and your bullshit.

  • freedom of speech buddy..it's my opinion it doesn't have to influence nobody

  • true.but it doesn't mean you're not full of shit.

  • well thats just your opinion..one that i could care less about lol

  • Katie sure got some healthy looking gums. lol.

  • How long before Moonves replaces Katie with Julie Chen?

  • News has definitely been "tarted up". Should go back to the days when Rather had the freedom to LIE!

  • Frankee - Do you enjoy Danlyn Rather?

  • Dan's a good guy. Wish he was still on 60 minutes.

  • "So they give opinions about what they think we want to hear."

    Amen, calmemaggie! A million times over.

  • les moonves is a douchebag.

    he is a nothing

    a nonentity

    masquerading as an important figure.

  • @leftyrite He is important man. Maybe not by your metrics but there are other metrics that he may be trying to flourish in. Dan says it here. You do speak like you know they guy which is curious and people like your hate which is even more curious.

  • I am a firm believer in the people.

    If given the truth, they can be depended upon

    to meet any national crisis. The great point

    is to bring them the real facts." -Abraham Lincoln

    Dan kicks ass

  • Bravo Dan! Get back to hard quality news of integrity!

  • he is so right... there is NO NEWS anymore - just what corporate America wants you to know about - there is no deep investigations anymore! Just Brittney Spears and NBC doing their nightline shows about the perverted pricks on the internet ... glad there is shows like that but remember why they are showing them - the US gov'ment wants to regulate the internet - THE LAST PLACE THERE IS TO FIND REAL NEWS... - think why they want to run it? Scaring you into thinking its a good idea.

  • lol there hasn't been news for ever !

  • That pension is not enough huh, Danny boy! You better get a part time job!

  • Dan Rather is just a bitter old man. He shouldn't have forged documents in order to create a story if he really cared about his job.

  • He didnt forge anything, it looks like he made a bad judgment call. Theres a difference.

    Shouldnt you be watchig O'Reilly anyway?

  • Amen brother, he was reporting the truth, we all know it. Bush is a party boy slipped out of service near the end of his "duty to his country" "I aint no senators son" but he is!

  • Katie Couric isn't even respectable. Dan Rather is right in responding to that taint idiot who runs CBS>

  • Dan Rather is right on with what he is saying. The evening news is and should always be a public service to the people of this country. Leave the crappy entertainment stories to all the worthless dime-a-dozen entertainment shows out there in "boob-tube" land!!!!

  • Dan Rather complaining about declining news standards. This from a man who did not know (or decided to ignore) the difference between documents produced on a computer and those supposedly typed years earlier. After that mistake is it any wonder people like Les Moonves decided you might as well cover "news" like Hilton, Spears (etc). At least with those stories it ie easier to decide between fake and real.

  • sexist

  • Dan is right. Why doesn't Less just answer the charge directly? Oh yeah .Its got to be true.

  • Never mind 'sexist', is it true or not? Doesn't Dan Rather hit the nail on the head. God when I listen to Walter Cronkite's commentaries from the sixties, it sounds like University lecture to me, compare to what passes as TV journalism nowadays.

  • that's what you do in fascism. Keep the people dumb and target the young and naive. Still many out there hurd of the sheep and don't get it.

  • I thhink hes right the new is not news anymore i dont give a rats ass about paris hilton or britany spears.they play that crap all day who cares thats not news theres people who are not famouse who do all that crap its not new or news!!

  • You are so right.....another thing.......who cares about their opinion.....Just give us the news....but they cannot do that it is against the "elite plans" So they give opinions about what they think we want to hear...Dan got his boost up when JFK was assassinated and he did not complain at that point.....He left Dallas and "made it big"

  • so true. the news is NOT the news anymore. It's just stupid entertainment (ie. Katie "the idiot" Couric)

  • YES you can get the demographics ... by getting the hard news! Shocking.

  • This may have been said but when you leave The REALITY of REPORTING the news in favor of attempting to slant or make the news, it is NOT news anymore.DR lost his job because he lost his credability with his audience and there he has only HIMESELF to blame.

    The usual Liberal crap comming out of his mouth on this one...Woe is me, woe is me.

  • lol wistle

  • Dan Rather, "Wa Wa Wa Wa Wa Wa Wa"... sniff..

  • We don't believe the main stream media anymore. (and I am 55 years old) Thank goodness for the internet. Vote for Ron Paul.

    Free Hugs From TX

    RundoeTX

  • family guy owns dan rather big time

  • tr0000f

  • so true lol

  • Dan's biggest mistake was replacing Walter Cronkite in 1981. He's not a news reader in a studio, he was(and is) the archtypical news hound. You send him out with a camera crew anywhere in the world and tel him to find out what's going on and he'll come back with footage along with articulate narration.

    That being said, good luck with the lawsuit Dan.

  • On Katie Couric's very first newscast on CBS News, they did a little feature, and showed a picture, of Suri Cruise. Suri f**king Cruise - for no other reason than they could. If that doesn't prove Rather is right, I don't know what does.

  • Chase Manhattan Bank, controlled by the Rockerfellers, is the largest stockholder in CBS, NBC, Union Carbide, General Electric, United Airlines, Eastern Airlines, Safeway Supermarkets,and AT&T, to name only a few of its holdings.

  • Dan is such a pussy loser.. what a pathetic piece of crap. Now he is suing CBS because he is a liar, dirt bag, and all around scum. He represented CBS well. That is who they are...

  • why is he a liar? do you even know what happened? they gave him a story to air that

    was knowingly incorrect. he's a scapegoat.

    that's what the court system is for.

  • trachembrod-- the great investigative reporter didn't know that what was given to him was tripe right before the election... please. He & CBS tried to throw the election. He is a moron. He states even today that the documents were never proven fake. What a joke! That font did not exist back then... how about that for starters...

  • Dan Rather is losing his mind.

  • No Dan Rather is affraid that jurnalism is dead.

  • Its so sad and true.

  • I also agree with Rathers. If CBS starts controlling the media they present with Celebrity stories and gossip. This will distract the American public from important issues that involve the US. They can eventually keep the American public in the dark while the US Government imposes its will.

  • I agree with everything Rather says.... and I say that as someone who has never particularly liked him.

    News/information shows were once public service-oriented and they didn't have any profit motive. 60 Minutes changed that. 60 Minutes made it clear that news/information shows could make a profit .....and they have been trying to make a profit since. So, we get OJ instead of Iraq, Britney instead of healthcare.....the only thing that matters anymore is the bottom line (money).

  • Kick ass Dan they deserve it big time

  • good job, Dan!

  • Fox News features Rather on "info tainment?"

    Rather speaks truth, but its like talking democracy

    at the White House... nobody understands the concept.

  • What does Dan Rather know about truth? It was during his time that SeeB.S. got in trouble!

  • Dan Rather is a loser. Dan shut up.

  • This has nothing to do with sexism. Its about real NEWS vs. Corporate entertainment news. I beleive Dan Rather before I beleive Who? Les Moonves? Some toe the line Jew that falls in line with all the other media Jews running our country.

  • There ought to be more segments like this on Fox programming.

  • This was a great interview. Good for Fox.

  • are we sure he didn't mean to say "Tarding", that would make more sense based on what i've seen of it

  • Asman did a terrific job interviewing Rather. If this is what Fox News is turning into, that's good for all of us. Maybe there is room for Fox after all.

  • Couric is a textbook example of the Peter Principle.

    She did nice soft interviews for daytime,and was really terrific stumping for colon cancer awareness,but she is way out of her depth on an evening news program.

  • couric is as i see it another rosie o donald

  • Not even close.

  • Like rather or not,he is dead on about entertainment vs news.

    Why else would "news" shows cut away from a General Peter Pace news conference to show Paris Hilton's house,complete with 300 cameras and helicopter coverage,as she was waiting to be taken back to jail? If that doesn't tell you how the focus has shifted away from "journalism", I don't know what will.

  • paris hilton is a high classed rich whore,just think what happens to to poor people had it been the same circumstances

  • Dan Rather is talking about this important matter with Fox News? The network with no moral fibre, no descency and no brains. You want real news, watch the daily show or PBS.

  • What do you libs know about morals and decency? SeeB.S. fake documents and Koran desecration hoaxes, New York TImes giving discounts to anti-American MoveOn.

  • Fox is a cable news network, not one of the major three news networks. Rather was supposed to be on par with the greats of of news broadcasting. Instead, Rather was forced from his anchor job without ceremony, a humiliation without parallel. Show one person on Fox News that has suffered the same fate.

    LMFAO!

  • Dan Rather is no longer credible after the fake document debacle. I heard they moved his desk right next to the janitor's closet, and he still didn't get the hint. Andy Rooney finally had to take Dan aside and tell him everybody thought he was a shitheel hack.

  • jees if rather is no longer credible for the fake document debacle, then where do you place faux noise for their countless news reporting debacles? my, my, double standards abound don't they patsagainst! everyone on faux does shotty or no reporting at all.

  • You can thank Dan Rather for SeeB.S.'s third place rating!

  • I find it astonishing that people hold on to false convictions so adamantly. When someone speaks out about the lies/misrepresentations in government, corporate news, people seem so unwilling to change their previous opinion. I feel like Fox News is character-bashing people such as Rosie O'Donnel and Dan Rathers for exposing shady matters such as 9/11. They're simply doing their job; reporting on the events in the world, and Fox News thanks them with character defamation.

  • Fox is the perfect example of entertainment taking over hard, factual news. I applaud Rather for taking the message where it most needs to be heard.

  • I can't believe Dan would even go on Fox!!

  • Rather is the best, I would vote for him for President of the United States.

  • I think Dan's right, but what the hell is he doing on Fox News--every chance he gets he knocks them around publicly.

  • Where else can anybody go to speak the truth that the liberal do not want you to hear?

  • In a world where there's nowhere anybody can go to speak the truth that "the liberal" do not want you to hear, one last refuge for truthiness stands out among the crowd. It lies in a mysterious land of fairness and balance called the no spin zone.

  • When anyone stay up and speak their mind concern President Bush...and his policy and are not for them. They are quicky quited up or they are concern as hating American. Wake up people ..Bush policy or for the Rich only...and you are not rich..

  • jbrock2522-- this really has nothing to do with Bush. I am not a big fan of his especially with the border. It is about lies & manipulation. Dan Rather is a disgrace.

  • This is all about Bush...You can see that the power that be is greater than Rahter and Bush works for them..Dan Rather is a hero...He stood up and is still staying up to this power

  • Dan Rather is a Liberal Hack that deserves all that happened to him.

  • Dan Rather is a hero....He is one only people standing up to the power that be ...and clear standing you dont scare me..Way to go Dan..the Man

  • I wouldn't call him a hero, but I am liking him more and more with each passing day.

    Now that he's freed of the shackles of CBS, he can speak the truth. Television news is a joke - it's not even news anymore, with the celebrity infestation. It's info-tainment. It's not meant to inform, but entertain. It's all about ratings.

  • Listen to what you're saying.He can now speak the truth? So everything he said on the CBS Evening News was a lie? Television news is a joke. But it's always been a joke.

  • I don't normally agree with Benedict Rather, but he's fairly spot-on with his analysis.
