Dan Rather has never been more correct in his life


I stumbled across this clip from 2007 a bit earlier.

Dan Rather is discussing the disappearing line between hard news and entertainment. His quip giving new meaning to the "Casablanca" phrase "We'll always have Paris" is classic.

This is some serious food for thought, even for a features guy like me.

Dan's latest memoir, "Rather Outspoken," was released last Tuesday. His HDNet news program, "Dan Rather Reports" airs 8 p.m. (Eastern) Tuesday nights and is available on iTunes. The old pro is doing some of the best work of his career.

No foolin'.

Dan Rather responds to my question!


Folks, this has got to be one of if not the highlight of my personal and professional life, other than my marriage to my beloved Jenn.

A few weeks ago, I submitted a question to legendary reporter and former CBS News anchor Dan Rather on his Facebook page for his cable/satellite show on HDNet, "Dan Rather Reports."

This morning, the "Dan Rather Reports" social network folks contacted me to thank me for my question an say Mr. Rather has responded in the first of what will be a series of videos called "Ask Dan."

Here is the link.

Thank you, Mr. Rather and "Dan Rather Reports," for making my day.

By the way, Dan Rather has a new memoir, "Rather Outspoken," coming out in May.
