Rather just a propagandist

Published: Monday, Nov. 29 2004 12:00 a.m. MST

CBS announces that Dan Rather is stepping down as the anchor of CBS News in March but will continue to report on "60 Minutes." Why is he being retained as a reporter? Why won't he just go away?

Mr. Rather violated the foundation principles of journalism to promote a personal agenda. He can never be taken seriously as a journalist again. He is a nickel propagandist, nothing more. That is his legacy. He is leaving because the public is rejecting him and CBS is losing viewers and money.
