Dan, C-BS, and Honest Apologies
Dan Rather's recent "apology" didn't really read like an apology to me. An honest apology would have spoke for the mainstream media as a whole and said the following:
"There is considerable evidence that questionable behavior has occurred in the backgrounds of both contenders to the Presidency. We apologize for only concentrating on George Bush. We're coastal elites who despise the common citizens who comprise most of America. We yearn for the day when we can reign them all in with a more powerful and politically correct government. We are supporters of the Democratic party and Leftist political thought in general. We deliberately skew the news to support our favored position and will continue to omit, lie, distort, and manipulate information to depict Republicans and Conservatives as corrupt and mean-spirited while depicting Democrats and Leftists as noble, just, and 'caring.' We're full of shit. -- sorry."
