Ian has a great summary of Dan Rather's speech at Fordham University. Anyway...it's best to just quote Ian here...
Dan, you weren’t dropped because of pressure from politicians, you were dropped because you were wrong. Dead wrong. Obviously wrong. So blatantly wrong that any idiot with a copy of Microsoft Word could prove it to himself in a matter of thirty seconds. The pressure came from the public, the people you claim to be serving, because they saw how wrong you were (100%, totally and completely), and were insulted when you insisted on pretending you were still write some-crazy-how.
Read the whole thing...
Aw, shucks.
And I really gotta watch those brain-fart typos.
