Stuck On Stupid

Dan Rather  is stuck on crazy.  He was on Marvin Kalb’s PBS show extolling the virtues of good reporting:

Thanks to the Media Research Center & Newsbusters

Dan Rather: "One supporting pillar of the story, albeit an important one, one supporting pillar was brought into question. To this day no one has proven whether it was what it purported to be or not. In terms of [unintelligible "myself"?] it was ‘he stuck by the story,’ I stuck by the story because I believed in it. ‘He stuck with his people.’ Listen I’ve made nearly every mistake in the book. But my attitude when we go into stories, we go into them together, we ride through whatever happened and we come out the other end together. You know, I didn’t give up on my people, our people, I didn’t and I won’t."

Marvin Kalb: "Dan, thank you. You said, I believe you just said that you think the story is accurate."

Rather: "The story is accurate."
