A memorable night from 1974 where Dan Rather, who then did the CBS Evening News on Saturdays, lost his place while reading teleprompter. His comeback remark "I have to be candid with you and tell you that I've lost my place" was both praised and criticized.

  • Wow, he's human.

  • Sure, the fashions of the seventies look silly and ugly to us. We dress differently now. In 1974, we made fun of the way people dressed in 1939. And in 2044, our children will laugh their asses off at the videos of our clothes and hair. They'll ALL say "Yuk!"

  • Much like JCST, I also have a new phrase to describe media lies: FOX NEWS CHANNEL.

  • always liked walter cronkite better than any of these others!!

  • the 1970s clothing was a lot better than 2011 or any other time

  • @RightWingHunter666 Yea,he took it like a man,so to speak,made the correction and moved on.

  • @EricEbac22

    1981. Cronkite was forced into retirement at 65---CBS policy at the time.

  • When did Dan Rather replace Walter Cronkite as weeknight anchor?

  • That is what our entire FREE PRESS is today, READING A PRE-WRITTEN SCRIPT OFF A TELEPROMPTER. If it was not so serious I would LOL!!

  • at least he can admit it :)

  • The best way to ease a embarrassing situation is to acknowledged it or laugh at yourself which in this instance would have not been appropriate.

  • I have a new term to descirbe media lies...Ratherisms, or Rather Journalism.
