As much as I hate RatherGate or SBVTGate, I thought this was an interesting observation

Dan Rather, CBS News Anchor

  1. given documents he thought were true
  2. failed to thoroughly investigate the facts
  3. reported documents to the American people as true to make his case
  4. when confronted with the facts, apologized and launched an investigation
  5. number of Americans dead: 0
  6. should be fired as CBS News Anchor

George W. Bush, President of the United States

  1. given documents he thought were true
  2. failed to thoroughly investigate the facts
  3. reported documents to the American people as true to make his case
  4. when confronted with the facts, continued to report untruth and stonewalled an investigation
  5. number of Americans dead: > 1000
  6. should be given four more years as President of the United States

Could not have said it better myself.

Confession:

Despite the recent RatherGate fiasco at CBS, I’ve been a 60 Minutes fan for many, many years. I am glad they came clean and apologized. Now that’s what I call an “ownership” society
