CBS fought very hard on this because it believed and believes that there's a principle at stake here. The principle is that Dan Rather doesn't work for the police, and that people that speak to Dan Rather understand that he's a journalist and not a police agent.

Dan Rather is guilty of not being skeptical enough about a story that was politically loaded.

One of the nicest things about NBC is that Tom Brokaw is not Dan Rather.

I grew up in the era when Dan Rather hated Richard Nixon. He was a newsman, but you knew what his opinion was.

Journalism is straying into entertainment. The lines between serious news segments, news entertainment, and news comedy are blurring.

More and more, journalism seems to have hopped out of Truth's pocket and crept into another.

If anyone was talking about journalism in the '50s - it was Edward R.Murrow.

I've worked with Ed Bradley, Dan Rather and lots of different local news anchors.

What happens in the media is the cult of personality. The brands who have been forced to cut their staff have been forced to take on the brands of journalists.

All of journalism is a shrinking art. So much of it is hype. The O.J. Simpson story is a landmark in the decline of journalism.
