Rather rides off in to the sunset, Bessie put the cows in the barn. oppossing views http://ratherbiased.com http://rathergate.com (CBS) CBS News will mark the end of Dan Rather's 24 years as anchor and managing editor of the CBS Evening News with a one-hour primetime CBS News special. The program, "Dan Rather: A Reporter Remembers," will be broadcast Wednesday, March 9, at 8 p.m. ET/PT. Rather announced last November that he would step down from the broadcast on that day, exactly 24 years from his first day in the anchor chair for the broadcast. He will continue to work full-time at CBS News as a correspondent for both editions of 60 Minutes, as well as on other assignments for the division. The hour is a candid memoir of Rather's extraordinary career, told in his own words. The story spans the past 50 years of his life and of the nation's history. The special will contain never-before-seen footage from the CBS News archives.

y'know, i've been watching abc for as long as i can remember until Peter Jennings passed. now i'm having trouble watching abc at all (except for a couple fave shows). not that bob woodruff (hope you get better really soon, thanks for what you do) and elizabeth vargas aren't doing an excellent job (they have some big shoes to fill), it's just tough without seeing peter's reassuring face and hearing his voice.

Yeah, I hope Bob Woodruff is ok. They're possibly flying him back to the States today. Peter Jennings did have a comforting voice.

heard he is back in the states (along with his cameraman--can't remember his name right now).

Yeah, they said he's doing much better but has a long haul. I like his co-anchor Elizabeth Vargas, she's a pretty good anchor. The ABC report I heard said one side of his face was pretty scraped up but, the important news, his brain swelling had subsided.

I'm relying more and more on Jon Stewart for news. Even if it's fake.
