OP
Dan was too conciliatory and too friendly to Robme. I was trying to figure out why that was.

(593 posts)1. Dan Rather couldn't hold Cronkites pipe.
Rather is/was a corporate newsperformer. Nothing of real substance like Amy Goodman.

and admitting that Florida is now out of reach for R&R puts him out of a job.

Going out of his way to leave the door open for a Robme win. It was odd.

(129,376 posts)5. He seemed to want to try to be "objective"
I don't know... I was actually surprised how much he was trying to hold back going full on criticizing Rmoney by doing the "weathervane hedge" of a "journalist" vs the "commentator" (with an opinion) view that Rachael does. I.e., I am so used to rethug media blowhards shilling for rethugs that I felt what he said didn't rise to the level of crap that you hear from Creepy Crawly or Blitzkrieg or stupidfuckidous or Rather's shadow Scheiffer.
