According to Bill O'Reilly, Dan got smeared: "Dan Rather did not get what he deserved in this case. He made a mistake, as we all do, but he is not a dishonest man.
Unfair freedom of speech did him in. This is not your grandfather's country anymore. "
O'Reilly is a good TV and talk-show host. I enjoy watching his program. However, I think his obsession with "fairness" often blinds him from the truth. He won't accuse anyone of anything until he has complete his own "complete" investigation. He seems to have an affinity toward Mr. Rather, which probably distorts his opion. I wonder if he has completed an investigation on Mr. Rather and the memos. I wonder if he will attempt one. The evidence complied by numerous qualified people against y Mr. Rather is fairly compelling. It is very difficult to believe Mr. Rather was guilty solely of laziness.
BTW: I don't think O'Reilly has ever given the Swift Boat Vets a fair shake. He thinks they have a valid disagreement with Keryy, yet he seems to think their disagreement is a smear. Fairness should never supercede truthfulness, as it sometimes does for O'Reilly.
