RatherBiased.com has some good news:
CBS News just announced that Dan Rather will be stepping down from “CBS Evening News” anchordesk on March 9, 2005.
Not a moment too soon.
UPDATE: Who’s your pick to replace Dan? I think CBS should go with either John Stewart (to maintain Dan’s bias) or Howard Stern. Howie would bring the dwarves, hookers, and porn stars to the show and appeal to the crucial teenaged boys with ADD demographic, no small feat these days; come to think of it, so would Stewart.
Bloggers are trumpeting their role in bringing Dan down, but I think it’s just a case of his finally being old enough, 73, for a job on 60 Minutes.
