CBS Disses Dan Rather on Last Day - TMZ.com

28. I wonder if my cousin George Murray, who after an Army captain's stint in Korea, and after Signal Corps film editing work ("Seinfeld's" "Kramer" and actor Martin Landau's former service) directing "Huntley and Brinkley" and then producing NBC News, often in Saigon and Houston, knew each other. At least Edwin Newman, who wrote me a nice letter, is not reading Mr. Rather's eulogy at the UN Chapel! Sorry about the ranch he owns, unbelievable. CBS was first in the public libraries here in the Bronx, on City Island, where some boys had just drowned, with the DVD version of the day's events of Sept. 11, 2001, though contributing "5% of the profit to the victims" seemed a little odd, on the back of the set.

The "memogate" debacle was entirely a Trojan Horse in my view, and CBS fell for it, though Michael Wood over at PBS would have us think perhaps the "horse" an earthquake. I like to think it more a Texan "hold 'em up" feint, from those who led by a President collecting twice the salary of the previous President, have alot to lose if their "posse" were to be found led by the wrong man. I for one enjoyed the Texas Rangers as a kid and as an adult, Mr. Rather always reminded me of one, in his serious, thoughtful news presentation. Happy trails, Mr. Rather!
