Outstanding journalism! Dan Rather's words were honest, straight-forward and, above all, needed to be said! I have been waiting for someone of substance to state out loud what so many of us remember, in years long past, what real reporters did and their ability to questuon power. It took a "reporter" from "that" time, one who did speak truth to power, to describe the state of our media today. Thanks to Dan Rather, journalism may just get a transplant- of a few "guts", finally.

Journalistic quality was good, since the story was "breaking news", broke on a festive holiday when most TV channels and "all news" cables continued with their day of reruns! Searching for the whole, continuing story was not easy-BBC was there, on line fast with updates on a continuing basis, while Fox & Msnbc treated the story as a 5 min.news break. Cnn spent the day on the story, to its credit.

Excellent journalist quality, but more important is the fact that he had the "courage" to cover it! The way the media as a whole avoided it, especially network & cable news, one would think the plague was about to descend on them if they "mentioned" it. Hats off to fearless Dan! Outstanding job.
